Withdrawn
You said you love me but i know it's a lie
How can you say you love me and then make me cry?
Lately you don't have time, we're barely even speaking
Going out at night creeping
Calling out his name while you're sleeping
I pretend I don't hear cuz i don't want to believe
Dont want to start a fight cuz I don't want you to leave
I gave my heart to you girl, what more could you want?
Then I saw you out with him at our favorite restaurant
Come through the door and have the nerve to kiss me nonchalant
You're already...

Review and remediation
I closed the thesis
I’d been peer reviewing
stood and stretched
and got a cup of
coffee before I
sat down to
meatier work
I put on reading
glasses
The type with the
blue filter coating
so I wouldn’t get
a headache from
complicated
reading
They make me look like
a sexy librarian
when I put my hair in a bun
But my hair is down as
I analyze the work I
failed to analyze
correctly,
and my
entire exigence
is skewed while ...

a snow globe fantasy
You: If I could kiss you... I would hold you close to me.
My arms wrapped around you. And I would let my lips
and nose glide against your skin, waiting to meet your
mouth. My hands would be holding your neck and jaw.
Gently. How it’s meant to be.
Me: you have no idea what you do to me...
You: What do I do to you?
Me: the way you make me feel, the way the words hit,
how much I want them, how if it was anyone but you, I
wouldn’t feel the way they make me feel.

Oh So You Love Me Huh?
When I hear the word 'love'
I run.
Not physically, maybe yes
But mentally I evade, disappear, compulse into a fit
Die a thousand miserable deaths.
It's having every glass around me shatter into a million pieces aimed at and racing into my direction.
Cutting, piercing, lunging through my flesh
Cause 'love ' that word is my trigger
A ticking time bomb buried so deep in my subconscious
I don't even think of it.
But you said it,
I love you, I've fallen for you, blah blah blah
Then I begin to sink
Into a whirl pool of my...

Rant …..
There are two of you
And you have done so much manipulating and convincing that the other side of you does not exist .. that even you believe the entire shit show of a lie
Like a grenade ,
Pin just pulled
you destroy everything within arms reach
Confronting that side of you
questioning your actions is a suicide mission
It’s just easier to play along with you
Seeking out the truth just adds more bullshit about you
That I have to lie to myself and hide
Instead of engaging during one of your meltdowns
I sat in the passenger seat...

Pretty lies and convienent truths
Born into a realm where facades gleam and half-truths soothe,
Before 'mother' found form on my tongue, from her bosom I was removed.
At the tender age of eight, braided yarn in hand,
I unearthed secrets in those threads, a world unplanned.
By nine, my discoveries brought labels, harsh and cold,
Branded 'broken', a narrative unfairly told.
At eleven, within actual school walls I was set,
Solitude my prior tutor, with beasts and boughs my only bet.
Clueless in the art of mingling, a misfit in their space, ...

Embracing a Digital Age of Connection
In the land of selfies, tweets, and endless likes,
A battlefield of vanity, where truth often strikes.
Social media, a web of deceit, conspiracy's fertile ground,
Where battles are fought, and real connections are rarely found.
Facebook, the grand illusion, where everyone's life's a dream,
But behind those perfect posts, it's not always what it seems.
A war of comparison, where happiness is a lie,
As we scroll through fake perfection, and authentic moments pass us by.
Instagram, where filters reign, and reality's obscured,
A conspiracy...
A battlefield of vanity, where truth often strikes.
Social media, a web of deceit, conspiracy's fertile ground,

A war of comparison, where happiness is a lie,
As we scroll through fake perfection, and authentic moments pass us by.
Instagram, where filters reign, and reality's obscured,
A conspiracy...

Another Lie
He says that when I’m mused
to set versed words upon a page
it is because
I’m fueled and raged
by jealousy
of his self-vaunted literary aptitude
that he professes is’
displayed within
the way he writes
and that I’m moved
when I peruse his posted poetry
to try my best
(though always sans success, he states)
to imitate
the things that he indites.
Now while it’s true
that on a time or two, I have derived
the **subjects** of my texts
from those of his,
it never is the case ...
