I long to be near you
Inside your embrace
Where your heart beats a song
Just for me and you
You gripped me too tightly
Crushing my insides
I whispered “stop it please”
You just smiled wider
My heartbeat roaring,
Consuming my ears..
Someone in the window-
You hate being seen
You loosened your grip,
I fell to the floor.
Now they will believe me..
As more eyes appeared
I’m now less afraid
To gras...
Your dimpled smiles
Always made me weak
Everyone falling for your charming wiles
But not me-the one they call freak
I loathed the facade you wore
For I could see the hidden side
The locked up version in your core
The one screaming inside
You came to me without a word
Silently laid your head in my lap
My hands mindlessly stirred
To play with your hair as you took a nap
You began to confide in m...
All the ladies in our group have tea together every Wednesday. We catch up on scandalous books. Discuss our love lives; except Janet, she’s a monogamist. There’s no shame in that, darling. However, being a prude about our discussions is just appalling. We’re women, are we not? Well, we’re women now. We supported each other through our difficulties of blossoming into who we always knew we are. Exce...
A pensive face interpreted as anger.
Watching my steps interpreted as sorrow.
Every sound in my mind lingers…
Always feeling my time is borrowed.
If I could speak of what holds my tongue,
You would understand why I appear so eager for violence.
If I could release the chains that bind my soul to my demons,
You would understand my silence.
If I could not recoil at a kindly offered embrace,
You woul...
I couldn’t let go.
Everything you said and did
Stained what I thought we had.
Yet I still cannot go.
The emotional warfare
Is under darkness
With only a gaslight to guide me.
I can’t think about that though.
If I let myself think for a second, you’ll disappear.
All I can feel is scared.
The punishments you have are cruel.
I’d rather bruise and bleed,
Than need to agree that I’m worthless, unsta...
As the darkness sank into her veins she felt the evil take her over again. She tried to hold it inside, knowing if it took over she’d lose herself. “Please…….. stop….” She struggled to breathe out the words to the man strangling her. The beatings she could take and swallow the rage that would rise. He’s much larger and stronger than her, but that’s not what she feared. He held her mother’s life in...
Unwritten stories in an unspoken language
Clouding my mind
Swirls of images come in waves
Faceless memories of some kind
A whisper of dreams for me
Another soul bare to you
Nine eyes could see
I said nothing, but you knew
Your eyes closed once more
I wasn’t ready for you to go
There’s a silent space in the world
Echoing in my existence just as the sea flows...
