Please stop doing this to me.
Where there is no place for me to hide and no place to feel safe.
You've made my life unpleasantly scary,
You're an every shadow question what I do.
What you can't hear me?
For what I'm telling you is true.
I don't do them things you're telling me I do.
So what if you don't like what I have to say,
So why do I have to fear you!
Just go your separate way.
I wish you the best,
Leave me to rest.
And as long as you're gone, I will be at the evil one.
So go ahead and tell you're a made up lies.
I...

Dark Valentine
I bought for my love a Valentine’s card
shaped like a heart and frilled with lace,
a corny bit of doggerel inside
to show that I’m thinking of him.
The normalcy of that simple gesture
thrills me when, alone, I sit and think
about what’s brought me here, the single love
that could have saved my soul.
The rage relaxes then, a white dove
settles on my breast. Reposed in this dark flat,
I look out through the skylight and
am ready for another day. He’s not replied,
of course. It’s been eight years since I started. ...

mistaking adrenaline for butterflies
The people in my family are cursed by their own hand
Generational trauma attracting a certain kind of lover
Broken with sad eyes and a story that breaks your heart
Anger living in their fists and haunting their mouths
Using life ruining methods to numb their pain
When your home was never safe for you
You have to distrust those who feel like home
Beautiful damage meeting beautiful damage
Doesn't always make something beautiful
Feeling comfortable in feeling unsafe with them
Mistaking adrenaline for butterflies is dangerous
There's a...

morning birds
he asked me
why the door was locked
my love, how I tremble when you go,
the sound of your departure
leaves me quiet & defeated
& my lips have grown accustomed
to the sting.
as the low growl of intention
singes the ears of my angels,
I hold them tightly, I listen.
the morning birds
will tell me when it's safe.
I locked the door my love,
I think it's best that way...
why the door was locked
my love, how I tremble when you go,
the sound of your departure
leaves me quiet & defeated
& my lips have grown accustomed

TW domestic violence and addiction
You’ve been gone for days, say you’re getting tattoos
But you’re selling your car and there’s boxes to move
What will I do, with the holes in the walls?
And the ring in my night stand you stole from the mall?
Or the Welches in the bathroom you’re turning to wine?
Or the eyebrows that curve when I tell them I’m fine?
Now there’s blood in my hands. Pretty sure it’s mine
And I’m hunched in the bathtub, mom stands there crying
And they’re carrying me out to go...

Traitor
Pretty little traitor
whisper hate into their ears
pretty little traitor
won't you propogate
our fears?
Making love to our rapists
taking drugs and saying
you'll be with us
now you're taking
all my rights and digging
your own daughter's grave
blaming your sister
because she couldn't
stay awake
blaming your mother
for what she wore today
Pretty little traitor

My New Wife
Have I shown you my new wife?
Look through the window there,
you’ll see her dig the flowerbeds.
Two years my last’s been gone,
fled to another man’s bed,
and leaving me with kids to raise,
though he’s decided she’s a bet
worth taking more than me.
Don’t blame the lad. Won’t take no shit,
just like my dad never did.
She’s mopping now; her brow, that is.
I’ll bet you’re wondering just why
a pretty thing like that would bet on me.
But it’s quite simple, so you’ll see.
She didn’t have much cloth,

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...

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...
