Warriors of a Past Love
Sometimes I wonder,
Will the past forever haunt me?
I won the war.
But there were battles I lost.
Soldiers that died,
& cries that can never go unheard.
I’m now left with scars that can be seen a mile away.
Yet, I still stand victorious.
You betrayed our alliance,
& the punishment for treason is death.
Didn’t you know this would be the outcome?
I would be a fool to think otherwise.
So I won’t back down.
You wanted war?
Then war it shall be.
You wanted death?
So die you shall.
Rest in peace to what...

eye opener.
the wool has finally slipped from over my eyes.
i can no longer play blind.
every word that i’ve spoken or will ever speak, will continue to fall on deaf ears.
you refuse to hear me, see me.
i now understand,
that I will never be understood, by you..
invalidating my feelings and thoughts time again. proof is the only language you speak.

how many.
they say fool me once shame on you,
fool me twice shame on me.
what about being fooled 30 times?
how many times must i drown before i realize that i can’t swim?
how many times must i crash before i notice that i’m driving in the wrong direction?
yet, i continue to walk through fire and expect to emerge unscathed.
i’ve become accustomed, maybe even addicted to the pain, abandonment and disrespect .
i’ve allowed you to hurt me in so many ways it’s self-inflicted at this point.
when will i learn?
why can’t i learn?
help me learn.
fool me twice shame on me.

vibes.
i care for you.
always longing to be in your company
when i usually find solace in being alone.
your presence comforts me,
and around you i feel secure.
you feel like home.
i know we've just met,
but i find myself constantly thinking of you,
wondering if you think of me as often.
i know it's not love,
but it could be.
still, if this is just temporary,
the experience was worthwhile.

acquaintances.
i award you with intimate pieces of me expecting what in return?
if not love, then what?
you continually confess that you "miss me" and "care about me"
i don't believe you though, i can't.
you couldn't have perceived me to be so naive that i'd mistake us to be something more than mere acquaintances.
you won't fool me into falling for you and you can't have my heart.
we both know this pleasurable arrangement is convenient,
not something that was meant to last.
so stop trying to confuse me with your words i've already given you my body what...

inefficient
you don't love me.
you're content with me.
that's not enough.
where was that "love" when I was lying awake in the middle of the night crying and needing to be comforted?
where was that "love" when I felt my life downward spiraling and needed encouraging words?
where was that "love" when I just needed you to support my dreams for once?
where was that fucking “love” huh?
nonexistent that's where.

I hate you.
hate,
such a lethal emotion.
it expresses exactly how I feel about you.
or at least it should.
I mean you’ve stripped me of my self confidence, self discipline and self worth.
countless times you’ve trumped my spirits with your broken promises and fake accusations,
yet I just can’t seem to let you go.
why?
maybe its the memories of what we once had that convinces me that this can’t actually be the end.
you once made me feel as if no other could compare to I.
you were the cross to my t’s, I the dot of your i’s.
what happened to you?

f**ked.
fuck.
I've fallen deeply and madly in love with you again,
and I can't lie I'm terrified.
it's like falling backwards onto a stack or broken pointy glass hoping that you catch me.
catch me before loving you kills me.

better.
I don't have to settle.
for you or any other man that only wants to give me half of them.
I deserve better.
better is looking for me,
dreaming about me,
praying for me.

him.
I craved him.
his gentle yet firm touch,
his musky scent,
his possessive demeanor.
his whole being intoxicated me.
he held me captive,
and I didn't want to be rescued.
in his presence I was always satisfied,
in his being I was genuinely infatuated.
he was starving,
and he eagerly devoured me like I was his preferred meal.
he was dehydrated,
and I was wet and ready to quench his thirst.
he demanded my compliance,
and I willingly gave him all of me,
over and over again until exhaustion consumed us.

mask.
gift wrapped in high expectations.
adorned in assorted ornaments of disappointment.
smiling externally to camouflage the disintegrating person that is me.
perpetrating a role of merriment, succeeding without inquisition.
laughing, masking the dejected soul that lies within.
when will you see me?

tangled.
I'm losing it.
smothered in a box of hopelessness, fear, and confusion.
drowning in a sea of uncertainty, misery, and regret.
unconsciously drifting closer to the edge of the cliff to escape the depression that relentlessly continues to engulf me.
I've stumbled into the abyss, the more I struggle to free myself
the quicker the sand submerges me,
leaving me with my impending thoughts of self doubt.
