*Trigger Warning*
I'm sorry my writing is upsetting, maybe they should come with a trigger warning. Or maybe people need to be more trustworthy. More open-minded, more outgoing.
I'm very depressed, my brain is at it again.
I can’t help myself from this impending descent into darkness. I use to see life differently. Vibrantly Full of color, love, or hope even. But, apparently, the longer you’re depraved, it becomes harder to cope with independently.
It seems I don’t own my soul. I lost it somewhere along the road. But I know wherever it was, it smiled. The day we fell in love....

Sweet Decay
my bud has bloomed
my flower has blossomed
into something
rather quite solemn.
'neath the soil
creates much turmoil
a breed of weeds
with desperate needs.
they bend to lend
and grow from woe
to die for life
to die for foe.
this covers their tracks
and covers their home
but 'neath it all
they're their own hoe.
my stem is wrapped
my leaves are torn
piece by piece
...

pardon me
i don’t mean to offend
blind patriotic when i was ten
one message i’m here to send
voting blind makes for terrible ends
credit my catholic background
although i preferred the sunny playground
to the make-no-sound prayer in the round
i can see blind faith raising foulness from the ground
pardon me for not eating the Chee-Zits
i dislike the Baby’s constant malfeasance
his militarized version of peaceful prince Jesus
his fake cheese flavor makes people peevish
Nixon resigned august nine, nineteen seventy four
joke...

He Didn’t Know
The previous he
The fifteen year he
Hid everything about he
The one who raped me
People don’t realize
That even when you are in a relationship
“No” means no
And if they don’t stop, that’s rape
That also means
“Stop” can mean no
And I’d like to think
He didn’t know
The fifteen year he
Hid everything about he
The one who raped me
People don’t realize
That even when you are in a relationship
“No” means no
And if they don’t stop, that’s rape
That also means
“Stop” can mean no
And I’d like to think
He didn’t know

the divorce
The divorce
They met in a pub, people often do over drinks
Cross-eyed love, it was not, lust perhaps an end of solitude.
Hastily married got a mortgage and bought a house that
looked big outside but had narrow rooms.
There was a small garden hidden inside a tall fence
A mortgage is a contract which enslaves young people until
they are 75 which is so far away it is abstract.
They both worked very hard long hours to pay the loan and
nice things for the home, therefore they didn’t get to knew
each other than the obvious.

Forgive
I’m trying, of course, to forgive.
Not just for you, perhaps,
but also because I can’t concentrate
with my throat in your hands.
How do I love someone like you?
How can I call, with pure clarity,
the name of “dad” to you?
The terror’s there, but no pity.
I know I might destroy you with
not fists but unkind words.
With well-placed and effective truth
spun out in dark and artful ways.
That I could call you the destroyer and
so crush what might have been a grace,
a mercy in retirement, an end.
But I’m...

she left more than scars behind
Some days I hate myself
like my reflection hasn't changed
in 15 years and I'm still the same person
who held all her lies
like they were precious gemstones
that could be compressed
into something honest
with enough time, pressure and love
But she didn't love me
couldn't love me
when she was too busy
chasing more interesting demons
than a quiet lover at home
and then resented me
for chasing my own adventures
Some days it feels like karma
like I'm forever paying for who I am
it's just...
