Dear Razorblade
Dear Razorblade,
There is an issue that has occured
How do I explain the red lines you leave?
I know you mean well
I know you try to help
I appreciate that
But somtimes i think you want me dead.
You know that trick you do?
When you turn silver to red on my arm?
The lines are to close to my wrist
People question
I have to lie and say I'm okay when I'm not
Sometimes I wish I didn't need you
But you've become my habit
You've become my addiction
I can't live without using you
And every time I try
I relapse ...

I am...
I walk alone on my path.
There I am, on my road again.
I walk in the valley of shadow,
My head is still up high,
My forehead touches the skies.
My mind is a million miles away.
You see me but I’m not here,
You touch me but I’m gone,
You whisper to my ear
And I don’t hear no more.
It’s just me,
It’s who I am.
I’m not a saint.
I’m not a sinner.
I’m not your beauty
Nor your prize.
I’m not evil,
I’m not good,
I’m not black,
White is not my color.
In your eyes,
I'm as marble,
But I’m fluid...

Aros
Welsh Language poem - translation below]
Ysbrydoliaeth o fewn hiraeth.
Angerdd o fewn yr angen.
Atgofion yn corddi, ac yn codi
Ysfa heb ysbaid am dy fysedd
Ar fy ngwyneb, yn fy ngwallt.
Dy wefus yn frwd ac yn llwglyd;
Dy gorff yn gadarn yn f'erbyn.
Deffro i foreau geag,
Oriau o aros am air o gysur.
Fel gwenwyn, fel cyffur,
Ti'n llenwi pob eiliad yn d'eisiau.
Inspiration within longing.
Passion within the need.
Memories churn and raise up
An unrelenting hunger for your fingers
On...

Reverent
How deep your hold exists in mine
Hard on my muscles’ furtive grip
She, sweet as apple’s bitten flesh,
That spills its juice in tight confines.
A simple one we three divine,
As I take she takes you takes me
Isosceles perfection formed
In every aspect, god’s define.
Like seas of grace our spent recline,
Apollo’s sweat, Athena’s streams,
It’s milk and honey washes clean:
The reverent of loves’ combine.
Hard on my muscles’ furtive grip
She, sweet as apple’s bitten flesh,
That spills its juice in tight confines.
A simple one we three divine,
As I take she takes you takes me
Isosceles perfection formed
In every aspect, god’s define.
Like seas of grace our spent recline,
Apollo’s sweat, Athena’s streams,
It’s milk and honey washes clean:
The reverent of loves’ combine.

Making truth of lies
I know
if I gather it all together
the stray words and glances lost or stolen
every forced smile or strained touch
all the times I closed my eyes not to see
every time I let a new man inside
the weight of all of these things would bury me alive
so I push them aside
and make truth of my lies
if I gather it all together
the stray words and glances lost or stolen
every forced smile or strained touch
all the times I closed my eyes not to see
every time I let a new man inside
the weight of all of these things would bury me alive
so I push them aside
and make truth of my lies

PRIDE
Put down yo Pride n tell me you love me
Put down yo Pride and tell me you want me
I think yo ego got u trippin'
Brain constantly flipping,
Baby you Slippin'
Break ups n make ups drivin' us nuts
So much shit we need to discuss, but we bottle it up, till it just fuckin' erupts
Baby let's adjust all dis fuss, discuss it all fa once, everything in us
So baby come home and let's be grown
I know you got the arrogance of a lion, too much dignity to be crying
but as you can see, its me an I'm trying
Together we this shit pomp n confidence,...

Live Life
I remember the last time that we were together,
I think right now I wish it was forever.
The touch of your skin, my hands on your waist
The touch of your lips, that way you taste.
The voice of yourself was made for my ears.
To think of this now puts me in tears.
What would I do to have you again, to make a good life as a perfect ten. To be your other to help you when I can.
To kneel on one knee to hold your hand, to grow old with you to make you feel complete. To make everyday special, then the next day repeat.
To be there in the morning and all...

A broken Mother's Soul
Do you ever just feel lonely?
There can be people all around but you still just feel all the loneliness in the world creeping its way in. Like seriously alone on the inside & trying to hide it doesn't always work...
So, what do you do about it?
I do.....
I feel like that sometimes, & it doesn't last long most of the time; but other times I feel like I'm dying inside. It's seems dramatic, and cowardly but it's the honest truth.
I shouldn't feel like that; my daughter doesn't deserve me feeling like I don't belong...

In the Rough
unpolished
unsettled,
a crystal
flush
within a
mind's eye
Hush
awaits a
clouded
prediction
of
uncertainty
& love.

The Puppet
I’m just a puppet on a string
But my wires are wearing thin
Wish I possessed fresh eyes
So I couldn’t see all the wrong I did
Cause I love to be manipulated
But I hate to sin
But I guess a wrong is always right
When you’re living in it
But my wires are wearing thin
Wish I possessed fresh eyes
So I couldn’t see all the wrong I did
Cause I love to be manipulated
But I hate to sin
But I guess a wrong is always right
When you’re living in it

A familiar "hello"
All dressed up in deceit, It's an instant attraction.
I glare down at my feet, what a nervous reaction.
She burns through my thoughts, I prepare for the worst.
My stomach in knots, I fumble my words.
I approach this with caution, for i've been here before.
And I haven't forgotten beauty lures me to war.
In a fiery trance I don't want it to show,
but averting my glance I dodge this hello.
I glare down at my feet, what a nervous reaction.
She burns through my thoughts, I prepare for the worst.
My stomach in knots, I fumble my words.

And I haven't forgotten beauty lures me to war.
In a fiery trance I don't want it to show,
but averting my glance I dodge this hello.
