polka dot
the polka dot orchid smiled at me
while the noon sun hung crooked
psychedelic time stop there
inside my need it halt
I wore a halo of regret
its heavy weight said I was no good
salvation was for the innocent
not the guilty
I was too jaded to believe
a denim heart worn from wear
didn't believe in love anymore
not for me
my patches outnumbered my denim
a patch for jealousy
one for a cheaters limbo
another for broken trust
I could no longer cover
what my soul knew
i sucked at love...

Of someone I used to know
A nice girl with a pretty smile
Before she hit her low
Before the wrong crowd
Led her to the slaughter
With deceptive emotions
They held their constrained laughter
What am I saying
It was her choice
I just wish she had the courage
To speak her voice
Or maybe this is what she wanted
To disappear from a world
That showed no compassion
And spit on her pearl
However it went down
I'll miss the person I used to know
Loving, caring and strong...

In the sanctuary of shadows, I have bled
With the tears that I have longed to shed.
I saw the ghost to the silence of your speech,
And a hand beside me, always out of reach.
O! A desert erases the sea of sweetest rest.
And within the oasis of my slumbering breast
Rain the dreams of a parting I must endure
Wherein your face, once lovely, has become a thing obscure.
I cannot leave without saying that I loved you,
Though by that token your heart withdrew,
And you know a piece of me dies to see
You walk away from...
In the sanctuary of shadows, I have bled
With the tears that I have longed to shed.
I saw the ghost to the silence of your speech,
And a hand beside me, always out of reach.
O! A desert erases the sea of sweetest rest.
And within the oasis of my slumbering breast
Rain the dreams of a parting I must endure
Wherein your face, once lovely, has become a thing obscure.
I cannot leave without saying that I loved you,
Though by that token your heart withdrew,
And you know a piece of me dies to see
You walk away from...

Why do I this tormented happiness adore?
The aching bliss I’ve never known before.
How sweet the poison of my passion’s need
For the shadow in which I choose to bleed.
I have lost the blush of the lily—
The daffodils, I cast out to sea
As the lone wind passed me by
And the sirens sang in melody.
The eon of a breath has come to pass
In the sands that fill the hourglass.
O! That my heart may never mend
And this joyous sorrow never end!
The solitude filled with what was
Never mine must give me pause...
Why do I this tormented happiness adore?
The aching bliss I’ve never known before.
How sweet the poison of my passion’s need
For the shadow in which I choose to bleed.
I have lost the blush of the lily—
The daffodils, I cast out to sea
As the lone wind passed me by
And the sirens sang in melody.
The eon of a breath has come to pass
In the sands that fill the hourglass.
O! That my heart may never mend
And this joyous sorrow never end!
The solitude filled with what was
Never mine must give me pause...

CAREFUL OF MY HEART
As I exchange my own opinion as I exchange my own thoughts and feelings, for as I stand still unafraid to Express myself. For with truth and conviction as a woman of subconscious thoughts, without fear or lose I raise like a falcon from out of the fire. But yet you only see what I chose for you to see, for really have you ever thought about my wants and needs as a woman. For example sometimes you don't know, what I think nor do you see the truth of the matter, when it concerns me and my heart.
Yet I guess that doesn't mean nothing to you but it should matter too. But yet what you feel...
Yet I guess that doesn't mean nothing to you but it should matter too. But yet what you feel...

Red flags left me in mourning
The first red flag should've been my warning,
You broke your promise and I've been in mourning;
Since you left.
You broke your promise and I've been in mourning;
Since you left.

Love Made Us Great Enemies
I will be nice on this one, and not call you a bitch
Because you fucked my heart up, and left me sinking in the ditch
And I'm still healing from the pain you caused me, a few parts I've got to stitch
I wish you would go through the same thing, I wish sides could switch
I loved you, but you were too blind to see
You made me hate myself, now I'm too numb to feel
Look at me now, I'm everything I never wanted to be
I worshipped you, at the sound of your voice I would knee
I don't love you no more, I wish I never did
I will block your...

The folly of belief— an ode to fill-in-the-blank love letters
It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew" ~Henry Rollins
I start
with the when
forcing my thoughts
to navigate around it
avoiding
so i feel it less
which leaves me darker
more broken tender
thoughts of
-how it should be easier-
then
amidst - during
after
.
.
to today
known
futility
[despite all the constant wishing]
(Ohhh the wishes)
how they
fill
those
vulnerable
spaces
...

How can I get lost in the rain today?
I’ll tell you my trust in the waters is complete
And there are wounds I wish to wash away.
And is not the air out here so very sweet?
You were not first, but I prayed you’d be the last
And I am forgetting myself, forgetting my strength
But I won’t say it’s impossible move past this at length.
I wish I could dine on the bones of my own past
With tomorrow at my side, gnawing at me today
With the words neither of us quite knows how to say.
I believe I am thinking. I believe I am...

Dust And Ashes
Through
The dust and ashes
The rubble
Of a broken heart
Crumbling pieces
All that remain
From something strong
Now just
A whispering shadow
Smoke
From doused flames
Signals of surrender
A sickly
Submission of will
The incisions
Slice so deep
Unlicensed surgery
At its savagest
Meant to hurt
With each recurring memory
The dust and ashes
The rubble
Of a broken heart
Crumbling pieces
All that remain
From something strong
Now just
A whispering shadow
Smoke
From doused flames
Signals of surrender
A sickly
Submission of will
The incisions
Slice so deep
Unlicensed surgery
At its savagest
Meant to hurt
With each recurring memory

I am dead already, as you can see,
And death lays a perfect boundary.
Will you waken as my eyes close?
Will you burden my grave with a rose?
It could be you who washes the weary
If it was only in my heart that you would believe.
If at the baptism you could see clearly
There is no-one here you’d yearn to deceive.
There are useless words that I can speak:
Don’t leave me lonely, my heart is too weak.
What deaf ears of my angel will they fall upon
If I see the vacant doorway when at length you have gone?
...

On the edge of light with holes in my memory—
Could you have been someone else to me?
For some people I know the sun is shining
I know for some the stars are aligning,
But for me it seems oceans are drying
And for you, I’ll always be crying.
I wish it was someone else’s sky that is falling,
And it feels like the moments are crawling
Until I lose the horrors that I have seen;
Until you come home from where you have been.
The end of life is a gift to the stars
But is this the end of ours?
My heart is outside,...
On the edge of light with holes in my memory—
Could you have been someone else to me?

And for you, I’ll always be crying.
I wish it was someone else’s sky that is falling,
And it feels like the moments are crawling
Until I lose the horrors that I have seen;
Until you come home from where you have been.
The end of life is a gift to the stars
But is this the end of ours?
My heart is outside,...
