power of investment
he used to tell me...when it comes to love
the one least invested has the most power
I resented it at the time
it made me so angry...
...so hurt
guess that shows where I fell in our equation...
in the end...turns out he was right
truth is...love is only as real as we allow it
and not everyone has the same capacity
...translation...
...or the will
but my mushy heart will gleefully fall
regardless of how unlikely it may turn out
because I feel most alive when I'm giving
when the glow warms my entire...

Every step
Every step I take gets harder and harder
Every step breaks me
Every step hurts like hell
But I don't stop
I keep running
Running away from the relationships
Running away from the pain
Running just running
I tell myself I'm done with the constant pain, the constant frustration
I am no longer strong enough to continue fighting
So I run
If I don't leave now it'll kill me
But I don't know which is worse losing myself or losing you
So I'm struggling that ever lasting struggle Internally
I almost turn back
Back to the...

I Wish They Would’ve Chosen Me
I wish they would’ve chosen me
But instead they’d chosen you
I was left at home with no one to play
I had nothing there to do
You left and went off to the park
The toy store and the mall
You came back with bags of showered gifts
So much almost made you fall
All the times that you would spend the night
I lay lonely, sad, and blue
Couldn’t help but wonder why I stayed
I wanted so to be with you
You slept over on the weekends
And I never came along
You were gone before I made it home
Wondered what I did...

In the head
When it comes to this guy. They have to fight their own thoughts.
Boxed in toxic,
these people aren't,
in the head right.

Ode to my Mother
My mother in the depths of her pain and sorrow
had a strength and tenacity that all should borrow
selfless sacrifices should be an example to follow
she was stoic to the end faithful to her vow
she endured her husband cruel blows
shielding her children from his punches
waking up with black eyes and bleeding nose
enduring the pain as she went about her chores
she was a lynch pin, holding everyone together
loving my wayward brothers even as they wandered
working in the paddy field to feed them
thatching the roofs to keep us all...

passed from one
to another,
a gift
of torment,
she hid away
her emotions,
drugging
her memories
so she can survive,
returning
to the scene
of the crime,
she is bled
as society
passes judgement
on her,
degrading her,
she loses her will
to keep fighting,
her desire to survive.

Just left of hell
You were interested in control
So paranoid to lose your grip
Afraid that I might wonder too far?
So scared you held too tight.
You created a Hell
You created the lies
You created your reality
You created my misery
I pleaded for your help
I pleaded for you to step up
I pleaded for you to stop wasting time
I pleaded with tears and distance.
Don't blame me that you promised
Don't blame me that I got tired of waiting
Don't blame me that you didn't add up
Don't blame me that you failed on so many levels ...

Woven Heart of String: Missing Thimble
Unbroken ballerina shoes on stage, demonstrating our foreboding relationship.
A chime from the outside wind, that sounds vaguely of freedom.
With every careful close caress, a poisoned word leaves the tip of my lips in this disconsolately lit room.
Crack, crack, crack.
My string is broken, as they cannot mend.
They are as defective as those who created themself.
My cheap porcelain joints crack everytime I hold you close.
Closer, closer, closer.
They wanted you to learn more, more about my secrets and the ones I’ve taken away from...
