Lately my emotion has evoked the skies to cry
Weeks it’s been pouring
From way up high to my eyes
It’s mimicking my sadness
The atmosphere is permitting me to be a recluse
So for now ill stay dry and warm inside
In my shell like a hermit
Until I can feel it all and not break
Until I can sleep sound
And rested, refresheningly awake...
They pack bricks into boxes to bog me down, push me off a bridge into the river.
It’s okay, we’ve been through this before, there is a system. If you don’t follow it, you don’t get through.
Thinking feels like sinking or thinking is sinking and while sinking I’m thinking if I’m doing it the right way, what they’re thinking of me while I sink.
Sand crumbles under my feet when I reach the floo...
The mirrors gaze holds a shadowed face,
Bathed in Crimson, a chilling embrace.
Years of torment, of fear and dread,
I think of the violence, and each tears shed.
His blood stains my skin, a morbid art,
But never again, will he shatter my heart.
I scrub and scrub, as the water flows,
I wash away his sins, and all his drunken blows.
No more fear, no more despair,
Only the echoes of his final...
“You never listen!” I yelled, my voice breaking.
“Listen to what?…. You’re supid accusations!” He yelled back.
I couldn’t stop the tears from rolling, my throat was so dry, I couldn’t do anything.
“I can’t do this anymore,” I pushed out, my breathing heavy. “You cheated on me, with my_ BEST FRIEND_, didn’t _you_?”
He didn’t respond but I could see the tiniest glispe of pain in his eyes.
“I can...
It was the first storm of the season.
After months, so dry.
The rain pouring down, washing away the watchful eyes.
Cradling myself, I say goodbye.
Thunder crashes, muffling past cries.
The rain gets louder, yet the noise goes quiet.
I can’t say what I think, I can only write it.
If I try to speak, it comes out jumbled.
Some might think, I’m a little troubled.
So now that the past thoughts h...
The whispers are absorbed by the wind's embrace,
Memories fade without a trace.
Like rivers carrying fantasy astray,
The current of time sweeps them away.
Footprints were washed away from sandy shores,
Echoes silenced, close doors.
In the downpour's unrelenting might,
Yesterdays disappear into the night.
Allow the torrent to cleanse the past,
Washing away what can't last.
The river's ever-flowin...
Give me a chance
I know I don’t seem worth it
But I think I am
I think I deserve something
Maybe love
If not love then a friend.
A friend who wouldn’t ghost me
Leave me
Ignore me
Hate my energy.
I’m sweet I swear
And I know I’m worn down
But I’ll fix myself for you.
I want a solid someone
For at least a life time
Or if smaller
A
Year or two...
With each storm,
A piece of you leaves.
Your mural downtown,
Its edges,
They bleed.
Week after week,
Paint chips away.
The sound of your laugh
Refuses to stay.
The echo of your voice.
The feel of your hand.
The warmth of your touch,
Their memory like sand.
An hourglass holds
What little remains.
As time passes,
I still feel the same.
When the grains run out
And the mural is gone.
I hope ...
Like a river flows,
My mind clear as day.
On and on it goes,
Take my breath away.
Different than always,
Never like it seems.
Hot like sun rays,
Nothing like I could dream.
It creeps up,
Forever unexpected.
My heart erupts,
And everything’s effected.
My brain subdues,
My eyes awaken.
My love pursues,
My heart is now taken....
