Sobriety
It's so hard to stay sober
And to not get high.
When everything goes left,
Instead of right.
The urge to escape drowns you.
Pushing all other thoughts
From your mind
Until your need is fulfilled.
Craving that liquid fire
Is a demon that will always win
As is the feigning for the sensation
Of little white pills sliding
Down your throat.
It's only a matter of time
Before you're floating
In space.
On cloud nine.
And to not get high.
When everything goes left,
Instead of right.
The urge to escape drowns you.
Pushing all other thoughts
From your mind
Until your need is fulfilled.
Craving that liquid fire
Is a demon that will always win
As is the feigning for the sensation
Of little white pills sliding
Down your throat.
It's only a matter of time
Before you're floating
In space.
On cloud nine.

My body is not a temple.
Everyone says your body is a temple,
But my temple crashed and burned years ago.
I gave it up when I shouldn’t have.
I’ve never felt more remorse
For letting the innocence I once had,
Be brutally ripped away from me.
While I screamed and cried
For him to stop.
But he wouldn’t seize to rip apart
The little girl inside of me,
And make me a regretful woman.
Who would have “What ifs?”
For the rest of her pathetic life.
I carried on, broken and bloody
And began to realize that my body
Is not a temple.
And no one could...
But my temple crashed and burned years ago.
I gave it up when I shouldn’t have.
I’ve never felt more remorse
For letting the innocence I once had,
Be brutally ripped away from me.
While I screamed and cried
For him to stop.
But he wouldn’t seize to rip apart
The little girl inside of me,
And make me a regretful woman.
Who would have “What ifs?”
For the rest of her pathetic life.
I carried on, broken and bloody
And began to realize that my body
Is not a temple.

Loving someone more than they love you.
Each day I wake and pray
To see a text from you.
It's never there, but I don't care.
I can play this game, too.
We are "together",
But I feel alone.
So I scream and cry
And throw my phone.
It's the only way
From calling you up.
Do you still love me?
This isn't enough.
We talk sometimes,
And I hold in the anger.
The fury of a feeling
That I'm with a stranger.
My heart's scars are tearing open,
From one side, all the way through
The worst pain I've ever felt
Is loving someone...
To see a text from you.
It's never there, but I don't care.
I can play this game, too.
We are "together",
But I feel alone.
So I scream and cry
And throw my phone.
It's the only way
From calling you up.
Do you still love me?
This isn't enough.
We talk sometimes,
And I hold in the anger.
The fury of a feeling
That I'm with a stranger.
My heart's scars are tearing open,
From one side, all the way through
The worst pain I've ever felt

Dad
I'd have to prepare it,
But I could tell you my story
One all too generic,
One that's boring.
Daddy had a little girl
Whom he loved to death.
Weed, beer, vodka, whiskey,
Crank, crystal, meth.
Late night alcohol.
Early morning smoke.
On your knees to find the weed,
Make sure that you don't choke.
Loud music playing,
Empty cabinets creaking,
Hungry children laying,
While you are tweaking.
Screaming in their faces,
The hurt in their eyes.
She tells you she loves you,
Then she goes and cries.

Old Poem
Torn between two hearts.
One that beats for me, and one.. not so much.
I'm caught in the middle. Do I want to be?
One that's here for me, but suffocates a little too much.
One that I wish would suffocate me, just a little..
Lustful daydreams succumb the modesty in me.
I'll face my demons one day.
I'll pour out everything, eventually.
I can't believe I thought of him while I kissed you.
I can't believe I thought of him when we held hands.
When we made love.
I'm afraid to let you go because you were the one.
The one who took my purity,...

Written on 10/4/13
My mind wanders and borders the brink.
Recalling memories of who you were before,
I seem to look at you now and think,
"I just don't love you anymore "
In my heart, frustration stings
When I try to find a reason to stay.
But I can think of many things
That make me want to go away.

Why didn't you care enough to stay?
You laugh drove me crazy
Your smile sent me over the edge
Spiraling down into pure bliss
Butterflies filling my stomach
That was already tied in knots
I got to call you mine
For the amount of time
That passes
In the blink of an eye
In my eyes you were perfection
The heaven I imagine I might see
The day I take my last breath
Were those short weeks
Just enough time to get hooked
On your kisses
On your silly expressions
On your perfect self?
You created this relationship
You made me fall for you
So why is it, that...
Your smile sent me over the edge
Spiraling down into pure bliss
Butterflies filling my stomach
That was already tied in knots
I got to call you mine
For the amount of time
That passes
In the blink of an eye
In my eyes you were perfection
The heaven I imagine I might see
The day I take my last breath
Were those short weeks
Just enough time to get hooked
On your kisses
On your silly expressions
On your perfect self?
You created this relationship
You made me fall for you
So why is it, that...

Tired & Restless [Part 1]
The usual routine was stopped abruptly, once upon a time.
The air was no longer filled with reminiscence, and memories of yesterday.
Her beautiful laugh no longer echoed throughout the house,
Because of something stupid I would always say.
Her beautiful eyes that once shone so brightly,
And could never decide if they wanted to be green or blue,
Were no longer open.
Her lungs that struggled to gasp for air through all the aches and pains,
No longer breathed.
The way she held herself high,
While biting her lip and gnawing on her nails,
No...

Window of Opportune
The window of opportune is passing by
Are you really going to let it go for good?
The fire in your heart is out.
The chance is slipping out of your tired hands.
You're letting it..
I see where we stand.
Apparently not close enough
To jump through the window
& Seize the day.
I'm done waiting on broken dreams
That I keep trying to mend back together.
I'll find someone who's worth it.
& that's certainly not you.

Unofficial Lover
You've moved on.
I had this realization today while I shed a few tears.
You've got a new love & you're done with me.
So as hard as it will be, its time for me to do the same.
Goodbye,
My unofficial lover.
