Cleansing
There is something so very consoling for me about the rain
The way the universe speaks,
Perhaps even cries
Expressing itself through the roaring thunder and strikes of lightening
I've always found myself in a state of effortless imperturbabilty
Consuming myself in the rain and all it brings
The feel of it on your skin, the smell, the sound
Bringing life to all on the verge of or that have already died
I could use a good cleansing
I am filthy beyond belief
Beyond what I am willing to admit to myself or say out loud
The...

Sunshine
Sitting here in my favorite window seat
as the sun slowly begins its ascent
I reluctantly glance your way
You are snoring away, unaware of my reeling mind
you are perfectly content and at peace in your slumber
A man who used to make me feel more alive & desirable than I've ever felt
is now a stranger
who no longer adds to my life
who is only here to break apart and encumber
I could say that I wish I was green and naive
that i wasn't onto your bullshit,
that I couldn't see through your lies
But that part of me has been well...

Drowning
Another sunrise I wake to alone
Tell me my love
What's the purpose in this again?
You're in the next room but may as well be on another planet
The distance between us screams
How do I fix this?
I wouldn't know where to begin
The further you drift away
The more desperate I become
I can't pinpoint where I lost you
My only relief from this torture
The smoke I inhale... within seconds I go numb
Just going through the motions
Two strangers co-existing in this cold and lonely house
My skin starting to rot from your neglect ...
Tell me my love
What's the purpose in this again?
You're in the next room but may as well be on another planet
The distance between us screams
How do I fix this?
I wouldn't know where to begin
The further you drift away
The more desperate I become
I can't pinpoint where I lost you
My only relief from this torture
The smoke I inhale... within seconds I go numb
Just going through the motions
Two strangers co-existing in this cold and lonely house
My skin starting to rot from your neglect ...

Slipping Away
The beginning is what breaks my heart the most
Having experienced you at that playfully intimate level
We were both so insatiable of each other
Now it is bleek
Resentful
And so terribly lonely
We grow colder with each passing day
I fear this is the end
Why cant we find our way
I allow my mind to wonder
To lazily float through the memories of us
Oh how you made me feel alive
More alive then I've ever felt before
Your fascination and adoration for me was something I could trust
The electricity you would send...

Pointing Fingers
Foreword:: This is a piece i wrote many years ago. I have found a box of old journals and had the want to share this
Fuck the rhythm
and fuck the rhyme
It's been years since I've written
but I'm so sick of comparing and thinking about time
But since I'm on the subject
let's talk about time
how its going too fast
and I keep getting skipped in line
How I give it my all
and work until I'm numb
fake smiling through it all
waiting on my miracle to come
but it never arrives ...

Worlds Apart
When did you stop seeing me as a person
a living, breathing human being with feelings and a heart
A woman who has fought her way, tooth and nail, to overcome her traumatic past
because the way you treat me now compared to then
well the differences are worlds apart
when did you stop kissing my forehead
when did the desire to gently protect my heart fade away
When did this palpable change in tolerance for my presence start to manifest
I panic and reach for you, but the harder I try the more you pull away
My skin is burning with the knowing of...

Divulgence
There are scars on my arms
and scars on my heart
I was in love with a high
that only tore me apart
Consuming my entire being
shot after shot
Breaking my heart
and letting it rot
Hurting my family
and making them cry
Looking at the world
thru cold and empty eyes
Forgotten my worth
and selling my soul
My addiction to meth
swallowed me whole
Bound by chains and stripped bare
Dead inside, never blinking once
a mesmerized stare
Trying to ease the pain
I kept inflicting on myself ...
and scars on my heart
I was in love with a high
that only tore me apart
Consuming my entire being

Hurting my family
and making them cry
Looking at the world
thru cold and empty eyes
Forgotten my worth
and selling my soul
My addiction to meth
swallowed me whole
Bound by chains and stripped bare
Dead inside, never blinking once
a mesmerized stare
Trying to ease the pain
I kept inflicting on myself ...

The Race
It's hard to keep fighting
even harder to win
To stand up underneath the pressure
and not give into the sin
The sin that will break me
and lead me to death
The addiction that will consume me
and steal away my last breath
The demons inside me
tearing at my soul
Whispering doubts in my heart
that I will never be whole
Everyday is a struggle
between the good and the bad
Fighting against temptations
to go back to the life I once had
So with the best of intentions
I will run this race
