Diana May Rose,
the girl who could never scream.
Days and days,
she would go.
Wound up like a toy
for show.
She thought if she even made the slightest sound of a door closing or if something dropped on the floor, she'd be beat, belittled, raped.
She slept in the same room as her daddy up until 11 or 12 while her mom slept in her room sound asleep. The master bedroom was a dark, dark room, and it still is the bottom of the well. It is the place that felt underground and deserted. That felt forgotten. ...

You Don't Like Me
You don’t like me—
You like the way I fill the silence
when your world goes quiet,
when all your friends are gone,
and you’re left
with nothing but your own shadow.
You like how I make you feel important,
special, like the center of a universe
that you don’t even see me in.
You never liked me—
not for who I am,
but for the way I hold you
when no one else cares enough to.
You craved the attention,
the love you thought you deserved,
and I gave it, didn’t I?
I poured it out,...

The Monster Who Never Was
Love,
empty words.
I'm the monster.
That child of rage.
Who thought it was easier to be
thrown away.
Than to be treated with kindness.
She was the devil.
The girl beyond redemption.
But there's that light at the top of the well.
And she's afraid,
She's afraid to let it in.
Because if she does,
She won't know what to do...
She won't know,
And she'll weep.
Dare she should show emotion,
That this time she won't be beat.
She won't be shown the fake mask.
But the real face.
The face
Buried...
empty words.
I'm the monster.

And she'll weep.

That this time she won't be beat.
She won't be shown the fake mask.

venus retrograde
i noticed you staring
like—you know—like you could love me
make me the prettiest in the lunar surface
right in the shade of venus retrograde.

Ashes & Misdemeanors
Ashes and misdemeanor's wastelands
of shattered souls in the mind's debris
and sands of time through the hourglass
of hidden places and luxurious fragrances
in death's anonymity beyond infinity
listening to the raven's orthodox cello
without strings
of shattered souls in the mind's debris
and sands of time through the hourglass
of hidden places and luxurious fragrances
in death's anonymity beyond infinity
listening to the raven's orthodox cello
without strings

Stay Alive For Me
If I go, if I slip away,
Promise me you'll live each day.
Eat your meals, get your sleep,
Hold your heart, but do not weep.
Pretend like nothing ever changed,
Like my absence is just rearranged.
Act as though I never was,
Forget the pain, forget the cause.
You'll find someone better, you'll see,
Someone who’s more than I could be.
But know, in silence, in the dark,
I loved you with my whole heart’s spark.
I’m fading now, can’t hold on tight,
But promise me, you’ll be alright.

I asked
I asked for a kiss
She didn’t
Could have asked nicer
I couldn’t
She wasn’t interested
I wouldn’t
Thought our life was great
It isn’t
Should have done more
I hadn’t
Had to look for another
I shouldn’t
This is not my fault
It wasn’t
It all started when I asked
She didn’t
She didn’t
Could have asked nicer

veterans
The veterans
JD Vance and Tim Waltz have in common
they have served and can call themselves
veterans, which has a sacred meaning
They joined to serve and defend America's
values of freedom and democracy
We know that for the two above, it was
about further education, to join but too long
and get out when the going got tough
Still, they are veterans who served.
I think of the men from the many small towns
unknown by most people, they joined and
was sent to Vietnam, fighting a war in
the name for freedom and democracy ...

Eggshells
unzip
the mimic
then watch it
all come out
bleeding hate
running black
wants to be
worshitpped
then destroys
what can't be controlled
then rage
swells as a wave
free spirit
only in dreams
still chained
to the past
haunted
by pain
takes love given
twists it
in the darkness
for crushing
any heart
has power
hope you find
the solace
sought
your eggshells
are too fragile
for me not to break
...

Narcissistic Cowboys
Narcissistic cowboys
with crow feet and tattoos
a Harley and 6 pack of booze
with worn-out clutch
living in deceit
in their last rodeo
on a highway to hell
with no more...

Forbearance
Honey, honey
Why is it
All the ones who love me
I do not want
And all the ones
I love
Leave me
Better left forgot
So I stroll
Along in this world
Acting like a kid, simply
A lovesick shit
And I will
Miss you, and more
As I lift (lower) my head
Drifting off to death
Not a suicide note
Not a threat
Just a lonely being
Not giving a lick
Knowing that
I have a head of
Self-confidence, though
Mind is a bit conflicted
I’m...

Scuttlebutt - with Grace
Hallelujah, twilight cold darkness
demons of my soul haunting me
conjuring Hell's musicians
with misogynist scuttlebutt
taunting with scythes in moonlight
touched by the blood of enemies
cruising down the highway
on the fenders of Gethsemani
Praise be, haunters all
begin the rites and rituals
to gather shreds of souls
written within wishes so foul
songs discordant in gangrenous light
orchestra on a surreal stage within
scratches of gruesome graffiti
in a mind on the brink of insanity
demons of my soul haunting me
conjuring Hell's musicians
with misogynist scuttlebutt
taunting with scythes in moonlight
touched by the blood of enemies
cruising down the highway
on the fenders of Gethsemani
Praise be, haunters all
begin the rites and rituals
to gather shreds of souls
written within wishes so foul
songs discordant in gangrenous light
orchestra on a surreal stage within
scratches of gruesome graffiti
in a mind on the brink of insanity
