At a glance,
Took no chance,
Peering in,
Struggling,
It ended with:
Red eyes,
Red flags,
Red lines.
You said that you were clean,
You said that you had changed, But when the daylight came,
I found you just the same.
Now I'm at a loss for words,
Now look at where we are at.
These days you think you feel the worst, The straw that breaks your back.
You can work yourself to the bone.
True but don't hurt your own home
Lose like life might not condone.
Look at the proof all around you!
How much will it take...

Delusional
I saw another woman in my dreams the other night.
Her pain soaks through my pillow
In phantom tears I cannot feel.
If this is how the tide must turn, set me free.
The paranoia grows tiresome.

Prayer of Confession
Last night, my lips spoke the
pleasing words of deceit to a
man who was not my husband.
I have strayed from the path of fidelity,
seeking sexual gratification in
the arms of a stranger.
As my bed linens hold the stains of a man's lust,
my feeble words of confession hold the stain of hypocrisy.
Surely, there can be no mercy for me.

in 1955, I took a bus to a cove where a ship anchored
along the ship's railing, a group of scowling men passing
time passing, the time spitting into the water.
In the galley, the cook was cleaning his nails using a fish knife
I giant man no one dared to cross him. a friend for life.
With a hardheaded crew and a million cockroaches, a new chapter had begun.
e wore the gray bandana, pallid skin caused by endemic
poverty no soap could rinse away, felt a kinship with them
and they were kind to me a boy peeling their potatoes. ...

The Deceiver
There could be all
Sorts of reasons
You whore yourself
For attention
I don’t care why
Honestly
I over looked your
Transgressions
All of them
Even those instances
That just seemed
Odd
People deserve the grace
And space
To pick themselves up
And right their path
I hoped at some point
You would do that
When you
Violate my friends
Troll for information
Validation
Sex
And then cry
That all men want
From you ...

You do not Have to worry
You do not have to worry
About me any more
You have no idea of what you're writing
When you're adding up the score
You have no idea of who I am
And care so even less
I am more than over you
And have nothing to confess
You don't own the English language
None of the words are now your own
If you treat others, as you have me
You will find youself alone
This is all the time, I'll waste on you
I'm surprised I went this far
I will not mention any names
I know, you know, just who you are
About me any more
You have no idea of what you're writing
When you're adding up the score
You have no idea of who I am
And care so even less

Karma
I’m not who I once was
At least it seems that way
Is it a good thing or a bad?
I simply cannot say
My soul forever shattered
My mind completely broken
My body lies just like your eyes
And all the words you’ve spoken
My smile disappeared
My laughter is now silent
All of my heart, broken apart
Your toxic love so violent
They say true love is painful
And some people may regret it
All the good times, when you were mine
I never will forget them
I wouldn’t change a thing now
Looking back...

Numb
I believed in every word that you said.
Every syllable,
Every letter went straight to my head.
To my soul.
To my heart.
It was laced with lies.
Hidden behind sweet kisses,
Long goodbyes.
It left no visible trace.
Like strychnine on lace.
When eyes met.
(not mine)
When hands touched.
(not mine)
When lips collided.
(NOT MINE)
What could I do?
What could I say?
Could not move.
Didn’t want...

Riverview Town
In Riverview town, a tale unfurled,
Of Mr. Jameson, a man of wealth, a man of the world.
His sudden death, a shock profound,
At his sugar plant, his body was found.
Whispers danced on the town's tranquil breeze,
Of an affair, a secret, hidden with ease.
Sophia, fair and ambitious, her beauty known wide,
Caught in a web of deceit, by Mr. Jameson's side.
A wooden castle, a distant kin's domain,
Where secrets are whispered, secrets feigned.
A relative unseen, yet with knowing eyes,
Caught wind of the affair, beneath the skies. ...

You forgot me again.
You forgot my name today.
Just like, you did before.
Now, you have nothing to say.
Not a glance, as you shut the door.
You don't remember, it seems.
The promises told over and over and over.
Repeated, until, I believed.
Convincing me, to come closer.
Your efforts payed off, willingly.
I forgot, that my love,
Makes you, forget me.
If ever, I forget again.
And send you a message, at 3am.
Push delete, go back to sleep.
You'll never deserve me, you never did.
Just like, you did before.

WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT??
It's me again the story teller✍️ I think it's time to get involved, in the dark side of what love got to do with it 🤔 For the truth of the matter is love has a lot to do with it, now let's look even deeper then deep, inside the fundamentals of relationships of the past and present 🤔 For ask thyself what you felt like when you finally thought, that you found someone, who came into your life to bring a change from the norm. FOR the right reason to give you a strong and real love built from steel and stones 🤨 Yet in the silent of the night was a stranger,...
