Unmistaken Identity
So here’s the thing…
The jig has been up
I’ve known
since shortly after
the beginning
Your falseness
This facade you created
just to stay
I’ve played along
been coy
flirted
even fantasized
I’ve enjoyed
this
It was refreshing
For a bit
Until I realized
you’re still the same
unattached
uninvolved
just altogether “un”
Ya know what?
I’m pretty much
done pretending
There’s no value in it
I gave...

things aren't always what they seem
that building on the
corner there...
...yes. that building
it uses to be a coffee
shop
a gym
a used book store
but despite intentions
each failed
failed
failed
and
failed
now it sits there:
empty
alone
abandoned
it is much like
love and the
human
heart
corner there...

Listen
It hurts when
God gives you a voice
But it's not permitted
to be heard
By those who
matter in our lives
Some people will
never learn to listen
It seems they haven't
got it in them
That's got to be
the saddest thing
Because it never
hurts to listen
God gives you a voice
But it's not permitted
to be heard
By those who
matter in our lives
Some people will
never learn to listen
It seems they haven't
got it in them
That's got to be
the saddest thing
Because it never
hurts to listen

she used to look at me like she hated me
...my mother's mother...
wanted to erase my existence from her reality
mom always said it was all in my head
...that I was just being too sensitive
{I got that a lot growing up...}
until one holiday when I was 15
that woman sent a box of presents
lovely wrapped packages for mom & my sister
...complete with shimmery bows & pretty labels
each of them receiving warm fluffy robes
{they even had big pockets!}
...& matching slippers for them both ...

you have left me
hours barely passed,
such fleeted body,
you ravaged
the jeweled fields,
and made your choice
such fleeted body,
you ravaged
the jeweled fields,
and made your choice

Glare from the Willow Tree
As I lie in a spot designated only for me,
The peering eyes from another send a taser through my chest.
"Who's there?"
No reply.
The grass shivers with the wind, frightened and alone,
While the Willow tree ahead grows massive in size.
I can't escape it's grasp.
I'm in a trance.
"Let me free!"
The coo of the raven immediately sends my heart out of shock.
It's been watching with a grimacing look,
Disapproval and disappointment liters the air.
Standing up, I cast a stone that lies perfectly next to the root, ...
The peering eyes from another send a taser through my chest.
"Who's there?"
No reply.
The grass shivers with the wind, frightened and alone,
While the Willow tree ahead grows massive in size.
I can't escape it's grasp.

It's been watching with a grimacing look,

i have

too tired
to keep
believing.

Perfection
There is a goal that I seek
The goal called perfection
What does it mean?
Too long to explain
Or too dumb to understand
I don't know but its everything other than
me
I know perfection doesn't exist
But can I just stop hating myself for once
please?
Can I stop thinking of myself as an
obnoxious bitch?
Too bitter for the sweet And too listless for the athletic peeps
Can't I be that spirit again?
Filled with confidence of a hurricane
I knew I would destroy them all
and noone had a...

FADED INTO DUSK
Across the seas, so very far away,
dreams of love combine with tears
my heart must face another day
to calm the dread of hidden fears.
For love has sailed across the blue,
still the rage within distant lands,
while I remain to dream of you
til once more we're holding hands.
The sun is again fading into dusk
and you are here within my heart
upon the air of the river’s musk
for love like ours can never part.
dreams of love combine with tears

The sun is again fading into dusk
and you are here within my heart
upon the air of the river’s musk

STILL FALLING IN and OUT of LOVE
I still find myself staring down at my phone,
As I stll wait for your text
or call,
I am quite sure I'd still
answer immediately,
And very soon I again I would
begin to fall.
I tell you how I still miss
and love you,
You probably most likely think
its a lie,
But now that everyday I am still here
without you,
I wonder somedays how I am actually
still alive.
The distance and silence is slowly
killing me,
The pain gets more difficult
for me to take.
So I still try and hand...
