You come faster than you leave.

Your cocoon of lies keeps you warm at night

While I look at my empty bed—

Icicles or daggers stabbing me in the back—

It feels like your lips tracing the spine

You walked all over.

Butterfly kisses like a bullet through my heart—

I flew into your arms

Because you promised me warmth.

And it felt like I was on top of the world,

Looking down on the unloved like I nev...

She asked if I was broken.

I responded, “Pick a piece to ask”

A constellation surrounded by dark

Never gazed upon

Never traced with fingertips

Darkness that pollutes city lights

I’ll never join the sky.

I glimmer shortly for heads hung low

The glass unswept that sinks between concrete texture,

Covered by a single leaf of fall.

I’ve gripped the wind with pollen

Yet, nothing seeme...

The sun sets upon my rainy day,

Thunder crackles, demons cackle—

They know I’ve reached the end of the road.

My eyes burn, heavy with grief,

No longer do I yearn for relief—

Your betrayal lingers, bitter on my tongue.

You, Judas, with your sweetened lies,

Kiss my cheek and meet my eyes,

Guiding them to me with your cunning smile.

They hand you the silver, blood on their hands,

You take the weig...

Gnawing emptiness circling

the hollow cavity trying

to find a place to settle down

but there’s no room amongst

the memories, the flashbacks

of your smile and the trust

in your eyes, the echoes and replays

of what possibly could’ve gone

wrong and what I could’ve done

differently. I’m sorry. When

I betrayed you, I betrayed me....

The emptiness felt at the bottom of the heart,

Stomach muscles turning is a delicate art.

Relooping thoughts in the mind,

A smile drooping, left behind.

Heavy breathless breathing,

Anger’s edge, the jaw is seething.

Harmful disclosures, piercing the soul,

Unspoken words are taking their toll....

the wife

cheats on you

the friend

drunkenly spills your secrets

the babysitter

molests your child

the publisher

tells you no

the boss

lays you off

the boss

hires somebody else

the government

continues to steal from you

the beggar

does, too

and

you go through life

fighting through betrayal

fighting through

trust and hope

and the overwritten

fear and loathing

but you fight

through

because...

Ima bleed you out

Like a sickness

You’re the venom I need it out of my viens

Another dose of ur poison

You tried to bury me

6 feet

But I still breathe

You stabbed me and made me bleed

And yet my heart still beats

You won’t be the death, death of me

You took my memories and used them against me

From friends to enemies

Twisted my fantasies

And made them a disease

Infect my dna

And ...

Damn mayday mayday

I need back up

She broke my heart

That bitch a

Heartbreaker

In mean time I’ll be running the racks up

It’s pill time I’m not cleaning my act up

Mayday mayday

She broke my heart

That bitch a heartbreaker

In the mean time I’ll be getting my racks up

It’s pill time I’m not cleaning my act up

She turned me to a activist activist

Fuck being a pacifist

We entered the room as allies,

Honest with each other,

And united by our foolishness.

The silent classroom, with

Fellow students waiting for

The distribution of test papers.

We swore, moments before,

That we had both failed

To study for the test.

A source of comfort

To my worried soul.

Yet as I scribbled down my

Hopeless answers,

I had a feeling in my

Mind, that my ally

Was lying.

The sound of the...

It creeps up on you,

Cold as night,

None are exempt from it,

Not the trusted, not the loved,

Not even the ones you swore would never fall.

It turns blood against blood,

A fracture too deep to heal,

The lone wolf lives,

But the pack dies....
