Glass Pieces
Pieces of glass prick beneath my skin,
Pricking me until I bleed from within.
They itch, they scratch, they hurt so much,
I leave them alone, yet their lingering touch
Cannot be ignored,
Even when old skin is restored.
Forcefully, I tore the glass pieces away,
Yet despite my efforts, I couldn't stay.
Still, I scratched and bled,
Until I saw the wounds- throbbing and painfully red.
I should have known better, I know that
Yet you cannot leave the glass alone
It fragile after all
I should have stopped touching those...
Pricking me until I bleed from within.
They itch, they scratch, they hurt so much,
I leave them alone, yet their lingering touch
Cannot be ignored,
Even when old skin is restored.
Forcefully, I tore the glass pieces away,
Yet despite my efforts, I couldn't stay.
Still, I scratched and bled,
Until I saw the wounds- throbbing and painfully red.
I should have known better, I know that
Yet you cannot leave the glass alone
It fragile after all
I should have stopped touching those...

The Rot
My soul once innocent
My feelings unscathed
I once was magnificent
But time has betrayed
My actions so virtuous
My heart so pure
Life became torturous
And I became unsure
With innocence erased
I felt anger begin
Hatred replaced
And the rot set in
My blackened heart
With no love to give
A vicious start
Of this new way to live
Mentally detached
Reckless in nature
Quick to attack
Cuz I fucking hate you
I say what I want
My filterless tongue
Excitement nonchalant
Emotionally...
My feelings unscathed
I once was magnificent
But time has betrayed
My actions so virtuous
My heart so pure
Life became torturous
And I became unsure
With innocence erased
I felt anger begin
Hatred replaced
And the rot set in
My blackened heart
With no love to give
A vicious start
Of this new way to live
Mentally detached
Reckless in nature
Quick to attack
Cuz I fucking hate you
I say what I want
My filterless tongue
Excitement nonchalant

Billie...
The way you haunt my dreams
the way you step into my head
the way you pound my heart
may we never meet again
wish i could go back
and say goodbye
before we said hello,
wish i could close the door
before it opened
you took all of me
you haunt my dreams
day and night
night and day...
the way you step into my head
the way you pound my heart
may we never meet again
wish i could go back
and say goodbye
before we said hello,
wish i could close the door
before it opened
you took all of me
you haunt my dreams
day and night
night and day...

life... loveless
all the work
in the world
is simple,
but
watching someone
go away
from your life
is not simple...
when she runs
towards you
with her swinging
breasts,
showering you
with kisses,
and when
she walks away
you have to see
her back... autumn...
N beautiful wavy hair,
with light
hidden within it...
and a bag...
in the world

but
watching someone
go away
from your life

Venomous Lies
Crooked spine
And hobbled feet
Corrupted mind
Thoughts incomplete
Blood red eyes
And a forked tongue
Venomous lies
Told to the young
Evil hatred spread
Wicked and twisted
Army of the dead
In shadows existed
Coming for our souls
Coming for our lives
Absolute control
Hate sharpened knives
With hearts unopened
And minds closed down
Consumed by smoke and
Mirrors we drown
Promised a future
Promised a life
Instead we're sutured
Concealing our strife
No chance to heal
We're...
And hobbled feet
Corrupted mind
Thoughts incomplete
Blood red eyes
And a forked tongue
Venomous lies
Told to the young
Evil hatred spread
Wicked and twisted
Army of the dead
In shadows existed
Coming for our souls
Coming for our lives
Absolute control
Hate sharpened knives
With hearts unopened
And minds closed down
Consumed by smoke and
Mirrors we drown
Promised a future

Concealing our strife
No chance to heal

When Our Dreams Have Died
Land of opportunity
A chance to thrive
A loving community
That's full of drive
Where dreams take shape
And hard work pays
Once America was great
Unique in many ways
Brother helping brother
With a common goal
Success of each other
Is success of the whole
Happiness and success
At our fingertips
But now nevertheless
Our dreams have slipped
Tears have moistened
Our tear filled eyes
We have been poisoned
By the repeated lies
Anger and rage
Have filled our minds ...
A chance to thrive
A loving community
That's full of drive
Where dreams take shape
And hard work pays
Once America was great
Unique in many ways
Brother helping brother
With a common goal
Success of each other
Is success of the whole
Happiness and success
At our fingertips
But now nevertheless
Our dreams have slipped
Tears have moistened
Our tear filled eyes
We have been poisoned
By the repeated lies
Anger and rage

Wide Awake
It's 4 in the morning and
I'm wide awake again
The whirring of the fan above
It's Blades an infinite circuit
On the edge of the bed,
Cutting just as deep...
Like that of a knife,
Slumber so far from reach.
Mind like wild horses
A roar like thunder, yet
No where near as free
He lies on the other side
Safe and sound asleep
I envy the night
Because in its own darkness,
Still there is a sense of peace
Yet nothing left of it for me.
The bells will toll
Thru an alarm on my phone ...
I'm wide awake again
The whirring of the fan above
It's Blades an infinite circuit
On the edge of the bed,
Cutting just as deep...
Like that of a knife,
Slumber so far from reach.
Mind like wild horses
A roar like thunder, yet
No where near as free
He lies on the other side
Safe and sound asleep
I envy the night
Because in its own darkness,
Still there is a sense of peace
Yet nothing left of it for me.
The bells will toll
Thru an alarm on my phone ...

Blanket
I cleared the last of my things
from grandmother’s house.
Drawers coughed up receipts.
The closets held the breath
of people who died standing.
And there—
your blanket.
Folded like a flag.
Too clean.
Like someone still believes
you’re coming back.
It smelled like you.
That synthetic, animal smell
something that wouldn’t be washed.
I hate you.
It fits in my mouth like a coin.
My body remembered you
before I did.
Knees gave.
Teeth locked.
You’re...
from grandmother’s house.
Drawers coughed up receipts.
The closets held the breath
of people who died standing.
And there—
your blanket.
Folded like a flag.
Too clean.
Like someone still believes

Water Over Rocks
Sometimes we find ourselves involved in creating, the wrong kind of a relationship, that will eventually create an environment of despair, and loneliness with emptyness. But yet it's not a situation that you can make it right when it has been wrong. Sometimes a relationship is like water over to rocks running smoothly like water over glass. YET it's appears as thought everything was fine, but yet behind close doors 🚪 As Hell has no fury like the feelings of a lost love, due to deception filled with anger and hatred and self destruction. For the worst thing you can do to someone, is...

An Endless 30
A string— unwound, not broken
melancholy— the rhythm rang
where Orchids bloom unspoken
beneath tears the sorrow sang
whispers through the windowpane
A cry for help, for need
of primal instinct against better judgment
the cost of a good deed.
the need to impair,
to make yourself believe.
through constant despair
will you finally be free?
oh, the horror! the tragedy!
when lust becomes a liar
drenched in misery
forever in the fire.
shunning vanity and cowering in shame ...

no, Google, I'm not suicidal
I googled
"what to do
when you've given up
on life"
and it gave me a list
of suicide hotlines
and articles on positive
mental health practices
I didn't know how
to explain to a search engine
that I'm not suicidal
I'm not looking for that kind of exit
I'm lost
I'm lonely
I'm aimless
Everything feels pointless
I've hit the edge of depression
and kept going into the abyss
instead of pulling back
like I was supposed to
I scroll through the...

The Desolate Glove
One cold autumn morning in late November a glove on the clothes line decided that life with it's mate was boring & awful.
It persuaded the clothespin to render it's hold and blew away on the next breeze.
A little girl stumbled upon it and loved the pretty colors.
She took it home and her mother got notice of it and told her daughter to throw it away.
As she was about to throw the glove away in the garbage pail outside, she became sidetracked and left the glove on the ground.
A stray dog saw the glove and began biting & tearing at...
