Lost soul
Believe it
Believe believe
Believe
It
Till it fills you up
Till it
Fills
Every wanting space within you
And you
Trick yourself into believing
(you have a soul)
No no
Believe
Believe
Believe
Open up and
Trust wholeheartedly
They
Do no wrong they
Do no wrong
In
Your eyes
Mold and shape
(your mind)
Into seeing what's not there
Take hold of the
Empty praises
Left
In the air
Its dark but
They say ...

The sun still shines.
It creeps and crawls
And eats away at
Whats left of her corpse
All she wanted was to
Die in unison
With the cold branches and
Lifeless leaves
Her
Blood leaves
Her limbs and the
Color in her face
(you once loved)
No longer
Makes its
Way there
And you cry out
Again
Again
Again
But your words are wasted
Her ears are decomposed
They
Belong to the
Ground now
The ground beneath your feet
Yet
You're shocked
(Shocked? Shocked...

Sonder (a message to myself)
I look at everyone
And try to read them
From the shadows
But it's hard to do, isn't it?
I've always been quite shy
And timid
I've always been told that I was naive, or stupid
Which doesn't make sense because
I don't trust easily
Or maybe that's just something we say, to make it seem like we've put up walls and boundaries
When in fact, someone comes and makes us feel loved
Which then in turn makes us vulnerable
And we let ourselves get hurt
Don't blame them my darling..you know it's your...

"Writer's Block"
I tend to dream about bizarre things
These dreams seem to be the birthplace for my dark thoughts
And
My
Fears
Failure to express my feelings result in chaos
Internal chaos
And it becomes hard to function
Its almost like a writer's block, yet worse
I'm a psychological masochist at best, yet refuse to admit it, most of the time.
Truly
I don't know what I want
Hopefully, some day I will.
Someday I will

SELF POEM

No one even noticed
Your mouth is full
With everything you couldn't say
Your heart bursts
Allowing the blood to seep into your bones
Warmth spilling everywhere
Time goes by too quick
And you're dead
Swallowing
Breathing
Drowning
Your pulse is gone
Instead
Your body is a shallow remembrance
Of who you once were
Cold toes
Nimble fingers
Your heart stopped
At the drop of a hat
And no one even noticed.
With everything you couldn't say
Your heart bursts
Allowing the blood to seep into your bones
Warmth spilling everywhere
Time goes by too quick
And you're dead
Swallowing
Breathing
Drowning
Your pulse is gone
Instead
Your body is a shallow remembrance
Of who you once were
Cold toes
Nimble fingers
Your heart stopped
At the drop of a hat
And no one even noticed.

Unfamiliar
Sensing change
In familiar enviornments
Are quite unpleasant
The comforting scent no long lingers
Around
Anymore
The calming atmosphere has evolved
Into one you don't recognize
One
You're not fond of
An empty shell
Stripped of its identity
A husk
No one wants to visit
Not even you.
In familiar enviornments
Are quite unpleasant
The comforting scent no long lingers
Around
Anymore
The calming atmosphere has evolved
Into one you don't recognize
One
You're not fond of
An empty shell
Stripped of its identity
A husk
No one wants to visit
Not even you.

Forgotten
Guess..this is what I've been afraid of
This whole time
I convinced myself it wouldn't happen
That your memory would get better
But it didn't
And now
I'm lost
This whole time
I convinced myself it wouldn't happen
That your memory would get better
But it didn't
And now
I'm lost

Dementia
You can't remember
Anymore
So I'm left with all the pain
and guilt of the past
Forced to put together
all the broken pieces
without your help
You can't remember
Anymore
But I can
Anymore
So I'm left with all the pain
and guilt of the past
Forced to put together
all the broken pieces
without your help
You can't remember

Insecure
He said
He'd always be there
And I start to wonder
Why he never calls
Or talks

Empty
You try to satisfy me
Fill me
Smother me with love
But your efforts are fatal
I'm still empty
Still hurt..
By the past
By how you used to treat me
You say your love is unconditional
but why does it turn into anger?
And you say I deserve it..that I need to be punished..
For doing something wrong
That hurt you
That shattered you
But I want to do it again
and again
and again
Till your heart is bleeding and can't be fixed
Till you see and understand how much you scare me ...
Fill me
Smother me with love
But your efforts are fatal
I'm still empty
Still hurt..
By the past
By how you used to treat me
You say your love is unconditional
but why does it turn into anger?
And you say I deserve it..that I need to be punished..
For doing something wrong
That hurt you
That shattered you
But I want to do it again
and again
and again
Till your heart is bleeding and can't be fixed
Till you see and understand how much you scare me ...

The One Before
Darling remember?
Remember?
The one before?
The one who would come knocking
Unexpectedly at my door
Darling remember?
Back when I was sane?
Until he destroyed me
And threw me in that pit of pain
Darling remember?
How when I used to cry?
He didn't wipe my tears
Or sing a lullaby..
He said I was beautiful
To make up for the bruises
And then strike me on the cheek
And say that I was useless
Remember, remember?
That night he tried to leave?
With the rope tied...
