I CAN'T BREATHE
Sadness comes when a life is lost,
Someone must pay, regardless of cost
Prejudice shows with excessive force,
When anger overcomes and takes its course,.
Violent action, when none need be,
as police violate a life, yet not free.
They march the streets, their signs held high,
"I CAN'T BREATHE",
"I DON'T WANT TIO DIE"
This message clear, for all to see,
"WE ARE PEOPLE TOO, PLEASE SET US FREE"
Is ot my darker skin that makes you mad,
Given the same rights you felt you had.
Let me live, take my fear...

Insomnia
Hello old friend,
Why are you here, you've returned uninvited. I have nothing to reminisce, nothing to share, no new thoughts or adventures to declare. Are you simply playing the messenger - for my heart has been in despair, conscious laden thoughts consume the air. I will gladly bare this burden and carry the weight, for our souls are connected and so is our heartache.
Insomnia, my old friend

You Won't Understand
His loving fist strikes straight through the center of me
Dislocating my sense of reality
Tearing away at the facia that holds me together
Hot piercing waves of explosive light spiral from my core, like those twisty fireworks on the 4th of July
He leaves me breathless from his touch
Knees weak, skin damp, cheeks flush I look at him
His eyes are wild, deep rhythmic breaths escape his lips, his body hard from the adrenaline.
Our love is insanity
Our passion Insatiable
Dislocating my sense of reality
Tearing away at the facia that holds me together
Hot piercing waves of explosive light spiral from my core, like those twisty fireworks on the 4th of July
He leaves me breathless from his touch
Knees weak, skin damp, cheeks flush I look at him
His eyes are wild, deep rhythmic breaths escape his lips, his body hard from the adrenaline.
Our love is insanity
Our passion Insatiable

Fate
Bumbum, bumbum........ bumbum, bumbum..........ssssshhhhhhhhhhh I cant hear over this drumming in my ears.
Dead stare, eyes fixed and glazed, senses sharp as I listen. With each roar of every passing car my heart thumps,, bumbum bumbum...
I am ready, I am prepared, I have accepted that my fate is not a straight path, there is a fork in this road that I shall often pass.
A sharpened tongue cuts away at my courage, a firm strong hand pushes through my defenses..
A glare so intense and engorged with anger cripples my constitution,
I am...

Sweet abyss
I bent until I broke
My Heart is bleeding once again
I Gave him all that I have
He demands more, takes all.
Splits my wounds hemorrhaging once more
He Patches it with a kiss,
Applies pressure with a loving word. I look away pretending not to feel the ache.
The warm soothing comfort that I embrace I call love- as all The life drains from me.
I will expire in your arms, I will expire in your arms With a smile Upon my face-
As long as you say that you love me
My Heart is bleeding once again
I Gave him all that I have
He demands more, takes all.
Splits my wounds hemorrhaging once more
He Patches it with a kiss,
Applies pressure with a loving word. I look away pretending not to feel the ache.
The warm soothing comfort that I embrace I call love- as all The life drains from me.
I will expire in your arms, I will expire in your arms With a smile Upon my face-
As long as you say that you love me

THE DECISION
Thick and stagnant air fills my lungs. I breathe in deep, life draining away.
I scream and nothing is released, hear my pain, and see me struggle, watch me suffocate.
Before the lights go out I find the door - open it - do you feel that?
A cold piercing wind blows almost through me, almost lifting me off my feet.
I collapse into its embrace and allow it to carry Me away.
No more sadness, no more solitude - just weightlessness and my breath.
My chest rises and falls, tears wad over my face.
Inside he resides, my love long lost. Everything I know, I...

DISGARDED
Built up,
Broken down,
Caressed and held,
Beaten and bound.
Once captivating now captive- hanging on my words- now silenced by your noose.
Weak and fragile, Pathetic and empty
Drained of light yet the darkness won't have me.
Lost in the grey barely breathing each day.
My life you accepted and then threw it away
Broken down,
Caressed and held,
Beaten and bound.
Once captivating now captive- hanging on my words- now silenced by your noose.
Weak and fragile, Pathetic and empty
Drained of light yet the darkness won't have me.
Lost in the grey barely breathing each day.
My life you accepted and then threw it away

CURTAIN CALL
fighting through the undertow almost drowning in sorrow, I sacrificed all the mattered to me to stand by your side.
Through disappointed eyes you gaze down on Me calling me callous and heartless - you will teach me that lesson tonight.
I held one thing back, the thing you should not have asked for, but to prove my love was true I handed it over.
I SACRIFICED MYSELF , now I am nothing but lost.
At least you have your sorrow to embrace.
I wonder this place empty and afraid,
Resentful and angry at the decisions I made.....
I still love you.
Through disappointed eyes you gaze down on Me calling me callous and heartless - you will teach me that lesson tonight.

Sigh
Afraid, broken and ashamed, grasping into the tattered shreds of was once the fabric of my life.
With options narrowing my heart begins to weep, I am tired of the grind, the fight, the struggle.
I won't give in or give up - it is not in my design.
I have fought through the pride that once isolated me from sharing my struggle only to find a defeatist disposition.
Its foot is much heavier

GRIEF
Forced upon my knees, the weight of you upon my shoulders.
I scramble to find my footing, spine breaking, my head falls - I raise my eyes to embrace yours.
Free me from your grip and I will never forget you.
Devour me no more - compromise my will no more - allow me to heal!
You consume me, oh intoxicating - GRIEF
