Everything Has Beauty, Even the Darkest of Roses

By S.D. Nyx

Old and new

My heart laid bare

For you

Broken

Healing

Loving and hurting

In all the ways that we do

“From me to you.”

Everything Has Beauty, Even the Darkest of Roses delves into the raw, unyielding emotions that heartbreak drags along its stormy path. It explores the depths it can reach within your soul, the fragments it leaves behind when you feel shattered, and the essence it demands from you to mend once again. This tender narrative extends a gentle hand to the reader, affirming that even amidst the darkest days, when the world seems to hold its breath and we yearn for a pause, there lies a sliver of light. This light, however faint, has the power to reveal the subtle beauty inherent in the storms we brave. Through each ebb and flow of pain and healing, Everything Has Beauty, Even the Darkest of Roses offers a soothing balm of reflection, urging the discovery of grace and beauty in the ashes of loss and the promise of renewal.

S.D. Nyx

There was a time in her life when it was hard to figure out how she felt. Whether it was the future career, partner or where she would live. So, she wrote, realising she was holding in all these feelings, hiding them away as if they didn’t exist. It wasn’t healthy at all. She put her thoughts and feelings into words, she would be lying in bed getting ready to fall asleep and would start getting an itch to write down how she felt that day or about how she felt in the past. It helped let go of feelings she didn’t realise were there until they hit the page. Writing about the ways she never wanted to feel in the future or ever again.

Dear Queens, Kings, or whoever you might be

Who dream of a fantasy life

With the perfect partner for them

Who doesn’t break their heart

Leave them crying in the pouring rain

Who dream of being everything they can be

Despite what society starts to make you think

This is for you

Living in a fantasy world

Doesn’t replace what can be great in the real one

Sometimes we have to get heartbroken

Break a few of our own

To get to that perfect partner for you

To live that life you always dreamed of

We have to be heartbroken every now and then

Feel it, let it make us angry and sad

Heal from it, let it push us forward

Then love again, even if it’s just picking up

The pieces of ourselves

We forgot how to love

To care for

So to the Queens, Kings, whoever you might be

Who have it all figured out

The ones who don’t

Just keep doing you boo

Fall in love with everything that you are

The little things you see on a walk

Fall in love with your life again…

This is for you

How do I let it all go

My heart responded

You already know how

What if I drown

You already are

I opened up the book

Wrote it down

We are just floating now, keep going

And I did

Growing and realising just where you are going. The ups and downs of losing people in any form, whether loosing that relationship or them passing away is all about letting you feel in that moment, even when we don’t want to. We learn to let things go and let people go and that we are all fighting a battle within ourselves. Writing all this down helped me see who I really wanted to be and what I needed to let go of.

Dark days are here and there and brighter ones are too, but there can be a light in the dark, sometimes we have to look for it.

If you have never heard

Tyler Perry as Madea

Talk about how people are like trees

You should

You got to let them go, go on and move on.

At the end of the day

It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks

There was only one person

That was ever supposed to be proud

A little old lady

Called grandma

Whole heartedly believe

That despite all the mistakes

The tattoos

She would have had a fit over

All the things she would have sighed and shook her head at

She would have been so damn proud

Of the woman that is now

The woman to be in the future

This one is for you, my person, my confidant, my makeshift parent, and the one person whose viewpoint ever mattered to me…I did it. I help people, and I love it. I know I was a little late to be able and come # take care of you, but that’s okay, ’cause like always…you take care of me; you still are taking care of me from where you are. My beautiful angel in heaven.

I do believe

A book written

Years ago

Is still a good book

However,

Tattoos

Curse words

Whether you are gay or straight

Isn’t going to send you away

To a place

Made of fire and red

With a black gate

Maybe I’m naive but I think I still have a shot at heaven covered in ink.

Hurt and Heartbreak

To the you who shined so brightly

Yet faded so quietly

We will always remember you

Who smiled so lively

Laughed lightly

The you who was kind

Touched many lives

The you who disappeared

Without even a goodbye

You made us all cry

Smile at the same time

To the you who always tried

Yet almost always cried

You who was living

But never felt alive

Many of us had sad faces

Many
