Murder Me Love

I was the choice that you had to take
An executive decision you had to make
The one you truly wanted, was owned by another
And you had morals, you wouldn't contradict.
You said you loved me at the first
Took my heart and branded it yours
Gave me a new name, a new place and two children to raise
So why do I feel like the mistress
Instead of the wife you took home?
You look at me with familiarity
With bored contentment devoid of empathy
I feel the chill of your embrace and the obligation in your fuck
Digging a void into my heart.
It pains me to know what I know
When your silences echo louder
Than the lies I hear day by day
Like a candle short of wick, my light is dimming fast
An accident would be better
I rather welcome a quick kill
Than this slow agonizing poison
That eats at me every day
Razor sharp blades
Asphalt ten floors below
A rope dangling from the vaulted ceiling of this tomb
All three are calling my name
But the loudest shout is from the open door
Telling me...
"Walk out!"
Which way to go?
Hesitating now...

Homecoming
The kisses from her lips were soft and delicate,
Each one imbedding itself deep in my memory,
The look from her eyes was that of pure desire,
But the fire two days later felt like treachery.
It was the way she clung to me, with a yearning,
Burning and churning until I almost melted away,
There weren’t any words, but it was just absurd,
The way she revealed the game she wanted play.
Then that Monday morning she was in his arms,
You know that kind of high school melodrama,
Knowing full well we were going to talk about us,
Well you can imagine my shock and trauma.
Yet I played it cool, that I was happy for them,
Still I felt the fool for leading us in that manner,
Was it because I dragged my feet in asking her?
Or maybe she already knew, I just got the dagger.
I didn’t know what kind of game she wanted to play,
I was trying to make sure my heart wouldn't be broken,
So I went on to date her friends but still I was crushed,
Even as she ended her fling nothing was really spoken.
Then she liked play, she loved to titillate and tantalize,
But I was a master in disguise and I was better at it,
I went along making sure my heart was covered,
Because deep down inside I knew she regretted it.
A month later she understood she broke with my heart,
When the tears we shed Homecoming night said it best,
Not sure where it all went wrong but my silence was strong,
As I was walked away head held high and on with my quest.

Messed Up Love
You could not see how much you messed me up
Until you left through the door you came in through.
By then it was too little and too late to fill the cup
Until it was brimming over with apologies. You
Went ahead and painted some screwed up image
Of what love was supposed to be like in my head.
That only left to me to be at the line of scrimmage
In order to get bruised and hurt. Love, a messed bed
Of thoughts and lies all because of you. it is all of
The reasons why I keep myself guarded. It is why
I Have built my walls high and why that type of love
May be too much to ask for. I know that the sky
Is the limit, but you messed that up too. I swore
To myself that no other person was going to hurt
Me like that again even after the guys to follow wore
Me down and my heart that was buried in the dirt
So long ago was that close to making a reappearance
Again. All I wanted was love, closure, and clearance.
Until you left through the door you came in through.
By then it was too little and too late to fill the cup
Until it was brimming over with apologies. You
Went ahead and painted some screwed up image
Of what love was supposed to be like in my head.
That only left to me to be at the line of scrimmage
In order to get bruised and hurt. Love, a messed bed
Of thoughts and lies all because of you. it is all of
The reasons why I keep myself guarded. It is why
I Have built my walls high and why that type of love
May be too much to ask for. I know that the sky

To myself that no other person was going to hurt
Me like that again even after the guys to follow wore
Me down and my heart that was buried in the dirt
So long ago was that close to making a reappearance
Again. All I wanted was love, closure, and clearance.

LIAR
Love but you never tried to embrace me
Trust but you had to lie now you can't face me
Laughed at my pain inside I guess you played me
I'm there when you close your eyes you can't erase me
Face the facts I'm here so live in fear am I coming in loud and clear
Stalk you I think not I should kill you and make this bullshit stop
Homeboy gets some too he knew about me he knew about me and you
Catch him slippin soon gun blast he'll die from his bullet wounds TRUST THAT
I can't take the blame it's you fault for diving me insane
LIAR
I should walk away step back pretend that everything's ok
Or deal with this denial and stick around and fuck with your life awhile
Watch you sleep at night and contemplate why I shouldn't take your life
I want to see you cry so sad use death as your lullaby
Revenge a dish that's best served cold in doses as your life unfolds
LIAR
Just want to make you see I'm everything you'll ever need
As all your hopes and dreams begin to fade and crash down
Just realize it's not a game and hurting you would ease my pain
Suffocate the hate inside destroy you fix my mind
Talk is cheap your words untrue it's true you put an end to everything I ever knew
And every time I start to feel it ache inside I BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
Can't hide the pain I want to put you through torture and everything that will ensue
Pray God will take my evil thoughts away
I just want to close my eyes and dream you by my side
This love will never die there's no pain no anger
Everything I want to feel once again would seem so real but I wake and your still not there
Once again I'm broken and you don't care
Over this I'll never be you see another day just part of my reality
Forgive is something I will never do
Forget only when your life is through
Shallow grave until you're turning blue
Into the desert box with a lid I didn't kill you lack of air did
I'd give anything to untwist my brain let me forgive you and take all my pain
YOU CAN'T FIX ME.....

What Once Was
You were all there, my darling
you were all of yourself and I
harbouring the people we became,
you were every stare to the right
when in green you existed
within stubborn lights
and buried shame
I waited all night
collecting your grief in bottles
embracing your horror softly
with open arms weighted
in forgiveness, until
our emptiness forced us
to undress.
You were all there, my darling
laying silently in your bed
collecting my whispers
from our morning rituals
where your coffee waited
on your wooden table
and you stroked my flaws
I did not question it,
I hid it behind my heavy bed
in the space I reserved
to rehearse my failing life
away from the repetition of being
away from my everyday shoes,
my stout brush dipped.
You were all there, my darling
even when your deafness remained
stuffed down into my body
in lacuna's fit to burst
where I listened
so that I might have heard
your leaving more clearly.

SAVAGERY
There the rigid tremble
Where the fragile hold tight
Framed by a morning not yet dawn
And a strutting stork with beating wings
Heartless beats to a savagery of footsteps
An early blue tit bobs the wind like words
Sung furiously at daylight
hay-ho hay-oh let them go
Heavens there's another violin
Cat gut strings gnawing at a cold fish
In the centre of an empty bed
I wonder if we ever made love
Or was it just powder and make up
And shouting
Shouting to one too far gone to call back
What new savagery
Would those footsteps bring
Take pause before this poem ends
There the rigid tremble
Where the fragile hold tight
Framed by a morning not yet dawn
And a strutting stork with beating wings
Heartless beats to a savagery of footsteps
An early blue tit bobs the wind like words
Sung furiously at daylight
hay-ho hay-oh let them go
Heavens there's another violin
Cat gut strings gnawing at a cold fish
In the centre of an empty bed
I wonder if we ever made love
Or was it just powder and make up
And shouting
Shouting to one too far gone to call back
What new savagery
Would those footsteps bring
Take pause before this poem ends

Just Because
Just because you broke up with me, doesn't mean that I'm angry or bitter.
Just because you broke up with me, doesn't mean my fingernails itch to scratch your face, to leave a mark on your flesh to remind you each time you see it that I was one crazy bitch and you were lucky to get out.
Just because you broke up with me, doesn't mean that I wear shorter skirts and parade my arse around like subclass livestock begging for one last shot at the halter
Just because you broke up with me, doesn't mean my head becomes anything but my own to decipher and to heal.
Just because you broke up with me, doesn't mean that my heart is any less mine or any less yours or any less devoted to you and making sure you're ok even though I know you're not.
Just because you broke up with me, doesn't mean I don't care about you.
Just because you broke up with me, doesn't mean I'm going to come crawling back, writhing through my coagulated tears for one touch, one smile, one (or three) words, wading through the filth in my mind that forced me to stop and look at how it really was.
Just because you broke up with me, does not mean I'm broken.
But because you broke up with me, I regained that strength you fell in "love" with.
