Mother's of This Earth
The drizzling rain had left the night
darkness upon her cheeks,
it was fight or flight
The earth glistened, remnants of the rain
Cold memories flowing into the gutters
and off it goes into the drains
Shadows sweeping across the land
what's left of the night, stood silent in vigil
watching her disappear in the morning light
An angel from the heavens at the gates of day
a silent sentinel of unknown darkness
watching the horizons, the sunrising ray
Last night, she picked up her torn and tattered gown ...
darkness upon her cheeks,
it was fight or flight
The earth glistened, remnants of the rain
Cold memories flowing into the gutters
and off it goes into the drains
Shadows sweeping across the land
what's left of the night, stood silent in vigil
watching her disappear in the morning light
An angel from the heavens at the gates of day
a silent sentinel of unknown darkness
watching the horizons, the sunrising ray
Last night, she picked up her torn and tattered gown ...

Someone Talked
I’m here out of necessity, baby,
why are you here?
I’m fucking with these bad
bitches trying not to
fall victim to the
#MeToo grift
as the Taliban takes
over Kabul
I just want a simple
life where I can drink and
write and still make
80K a year
#WheresJoe
who cares?
The Loser of The Year Show
Awards were coming up
soon
and he was the frontrunner
whatever ails you right
now is your fault
you drank the Kool-Aid
and now I was...

Scars in her eyes
Beauty was in her smile
Love in her soul
She said no, but didn't win the fight
Now, there's one thing she can't hide
Scars in her eyes
She just wants to cry
Pain is in her smile
Hurt in her soul
She said no, but didn't win the fight
And she has scars in her eyes
Love in her soul
She said no, but didn't win the fight
Now, there's one thing she can't hide
Scars in her eyes
She just wants to cry
Pain is in her smile
Hurt in her soul
She said no, but didn't win the fight
And she has scars in her eyes

Alive
I never thought i'd tell anyone about him, for the shame of existing beside him was enough to send me to the bottom of the sea.
I think that he started to cut away at chunks of me before I was even able to see it,
And I think he knew that I was too young, too naive to see what he was doing to me,
To all of us.
I met him when I had just barely turned thirteen, and my own depression had already begun to seep his way into my skin.
I think that he knew that too, and that he had an easy way in ; an easy way to dig himself into my lungs.
I vaguely remember...

Sometimes I wonder If I was your first girl to take from, the first innocence you ever stole.
I lie awake at night with all of my lights on, in fear that you will be there pulling me back into that darkness with you.
I count on all my fingers and toes all of the times you told me you loved me, and that what we were doing wasn't wrong.
I lie awake in fear that you will be hiding inside of every dark corner of my mind,
Waiting to strike.
I cry for the other girls who I do not know, but I know of. I cry for the young girl I was when we first met.
I cry...

Predatory Affinities
Perhaps I haunted her as she haunted me.” - Daphne Du Maurier
Brutality caresses her skin
Enjoying the delicate softness
Breathing gently onto the nape of her slender neck
Allowing the wildflower scent in her beautiful hair to
Overwhelm evils sense of smell and
Invade its memory
Sensing her tense moments
Charged with fear and a dirtied arousal
Intoxicating and enchanting
The beast appreciating hunting her
Pursuing control and domination of her spirit …of what makes her who she is
Cancerous and hidden within...

Survivor
They always warn you about the men across the street, or the predators lurking at the parks with invisible puppies.
But they never warn you about the ones across the world, who can still hold so much power.
I'd met him when I was only thirteen, and now that I think of it again he must've been twenty.
I wish that someone would've noticed what was happening to me, or I would've said something.
Because even now, I still am afraid of him. When I have my bad days it is hard for me not to imagine that he isn't lurking around every dark corner of my house.
My stomach...

I get paid to watch Hulu and
HBO Max all day in a top
floor office with
balcony
access
when you care what
people think, it just
doesn’t work out
caring what people thought got
you a job at the same company
for 40 years after which your
pension gets taken away
because the CEO was
a greedy sex
fiend
sitting on that corporate
toilet for the third time
that day because you
thought that bacon
avocado spinach
wrap was a
full on
shit
yes,...
