Trust is earned
Trust is broken
Trust is given
Trust is taken away
Out of spite
From just one night
From just one fight
From just one word
Words you say, they stick around
They linger in the back my mind
Good, bad, unspoken.
I wish that some of them would go away
The memories disappear
Vanish, in a puff of smoke
Like a magic trick
Instead I’m left to choke
On them whenever I’m feeling weak
Or sad...
There was a single candle light
It flickered dimly down a semi-lit path
I noticed Wrath as he crept along the walls
Scampered and scurried all through the hall
He opened his mouth, to scream and shout
I held up my finger and shushed him.
This dimly lit path demanded silence
And Wrath just stared at me, flustered.
Confused, withdrawn
I could see him claw and paw
at his own skin
Tearing apart

Everyday is just the same
I wake up next to you, broken flame
Affirmations, gestures, romantic nights
All I’ve asked for and it just ends in fights
Where does it get me
Circling ‘round and ‘round
I try to build you up
But instead it just brings me down
I remind and schedule
You neglact and nag
I’m a mother to two
Yet I parent three...
Pain
That’s all I feel lately.
Regret. Shame. Loneliness.
That’s all I feel lately.
I hang my head.
My heart aches.
My stomach turns.
My sobs quake.
I remember a time when he would whisper sweet nothings.
Now I cant forget how he screams venom.
He stares at me with hate.
I have done nothing.
His issues. Guilt. Frustrations. Emotions.
All taken out on me
In a sea of fury.
I try to empathize.
I try ...
I’d kill to feel something,
Anything at all.
Darkness pits through me;
Death hears my call.
I cannot see through it,
This unspeakable shit.
It’s like I’m broken,
Used, and unfit;
Unfit to be loved,
Or to love at all.
I can’t see straight anymore,
Pain echoes and pierces my walls.
I want to feel something,
Other than pain,
Loneliness,
Regret,
Self-loathing, and shame.
Someone hear these cries.
Some...
He concealed a drug deal behind a lavish vacation for you
But he’s your dad.
He left you alone when you were 3 to fend for yourself
But he’s your dad.
He would drink vodka before taking you to school every morning
But he’s your dad.
He slept with a prostitute right next to you while you were trying to sleep and you were only 4
But he’s your dad.
He was verbally thoughtless and abusive to you your ...
I met Will on a dating app. Never in a million years would I anticipate the emotional awakening I would have the moment I laid eyes on him. Certainly I had been in love before, but I had never quite felt a love like this.
We met on a surprisingly cool South Florida night. We rarely get those here. I couldn’t tell you where we were exactly. It was a random parking lot somewhere near the water. I ...
It’s as normal as any other day has ever been. I wake up, take a shower, get dressed, and start making breakfast for my daughter and I. My husband left early for work, which leaves only Maya, my four year old daughter, and I for all of Valentine’s Day. I figure what better way to spend this cheesy, hallmark holiday dedicated to love than with the one person who can always put a smile on my face.

He cupped my face gently with his calloused hands and looked deeply into my eyes. He was close enough that I could study all the fine lines and imperfections of his face. I could see the flecks of brown embedded in his green irises. I felt captivated in his spell with just one look. He stared into my face like he was trying to memorize it, almost with a certain air of despair. It was as if he was...
Frustration and rage burns through me
Resentment eats at my soul
You saw right through me
Your betrayal took its toll
I’m empty and guarded
Shielded and bruised
My wrists are bound
By the lies that grew
My hatred runs deep
And I admire you still
You can look right through me
With daggers to kill
Trademark your dishonesty
Patent your disguise
Within myself is truth
I’ve discovered your lies
Unwrap...
