anticipation and fear
I fear the oncoming change
the way my heart breaks open
and bleeds truths
I don't necessarily want to face
I've found my safety here
I've found my voice
and the strength I lost
I want to feel alive again
I want to hold freedom
in my heart
and breathe in today
like it's the only thing
that matters
Instead I worry about things
I can't yet see
untethered by uncertainty
and past failings
There is so much love
in the hands that reach out
and help hold back
the rush of...
the way my heart breaks open
and bleeds truths
I don't necessarily want to face
I've found my safety here
I've found my voice
and the strength I lost

I want to hold freedom
in my heart
and breathe in today
like it's the only thing
that matters

I can't yet see

USED
I feel so fucking used.
She told me she loved me.
She said she'd never let me go.
She loved everything about me.
She especially loved the way i made love to her.
She says our 20 yr age difference is a big deal.
I tell her age is just a number.
Besides your a grown young woman at age 28.
It shouldn't matter if I'm 48 or 88.
If you love me and i love you, that's all that should matter.
I've done so much for her.
I have done for her and her children that aren't even mine.
In the one month we've known each other, I've spent over $1500...
She told me she loved me.
She said she'd never let me go.
She loved everything about me.

Unlovable
I find it hard to believe that I was ever meant for love.
Faking my tears when friends insisted on watching the notebook.
And okay, P.S, I love you.
At least, I'm pretty sure I think I do.
The feeling of two hearts beating, but mine just never seeming to keep rhythm.
The back and forth, and the shiver of switching temperatures.
The swooshing within the depths of my gut. I'm seasick.
It's always easiest to put on that
award winning performance.
Save the tears for my private show.
When no one is there to judge them for missing...

internal
in touch, yet out of touch; attached, yet dettached.... it's as if the only thing that seems to make sense is getting wasted within one's solidarity....
and being taken for a ride.... spiraling within one's mind....
i feel like Nicolas cage from Leaving Las Vegas.... wasting away in alcohol.... in tears.... like why the hell must I be here....

I don’t want to sleep
My heart needs a blanket of warmth
from your thoughts of me
echoing through the atmosphere
until they find their home
on my skin and in my veins.
I don’t want to sleep yet!
I await those floating feathers
of your softest love resting with me
to gently pillow my tired and anxious mind.
I don’t want to sleep…
My pouting lips are lonely
for your whispered breaths
to blow their breezy good-night kisses
softening my senses into sweetest dreams.
I don’t want to sleep…
My moments seek to merge our memories ...
from your thoughts of me
echoing through the atmosphere
until they find their home
on my skin and in my veins.
I don’t want to sleep yet!
I await those floating feathers
of your softest love resting with me
to gently pillow my tired and anxious mind.
I don’t want to sleep…
My pouting lips are lonely
for your whispered breaths
to blow their breezy good-night kisses
softening my senses into sweetest dreams.
I don’t want to sleep…

No Flowers
Some moments
beyond loneliness
or exile,
beyond wishes
where hands
hold on to emptiness,
hope leaves
and trailing whispers
softly fill a loss.
No flowers,
no blossoms,
just troubles
executed
within a soul,
no second chances
no future
no happiness,
only a pitch black
that can blind
the best of everyone.

the Last Tree on Earth
In my world, there's one last tree
somewhere the desert
meets the sea
and I wish it could comfort me,
keep me safe like company
I'm gazing at the swaying fruit
with a tongue that's parched
and a mouth that's mute..
and all I want
is to lay near it's roots
under that blasted sky of blue
So somewhere several feet away
I'm sitting just outside it's shade
comfort there beyond my reach
unfulfilled and incomplete
hands reaching, eyes praying
hunger won't get the best of me
For this is the one...

Craving Company.
I am a woman ALONE
Living in my Semidetached home,ALONE
I feel somewhat comfortable,
Living in my own home,
ALONE.
But lately,
I've been craving company,
Watching the T.V,unwillingly,
2 feel connected with humanity.
Feeling anxious
Whenever the walls speak
So I turn the volume on the T.V up.
Louder.
Louder.
Louder.
Silence is Louder.
A glass or two or three,of red,red wine
Soothes me every time
Giving me courage
2 call my ex,who...

At this epitome of pains heights

Not having your love
Is putting me on my ass
WITHOUT U!

cloud song
the clouds care so little
for me.
am i not enough;
does rain not offend me?
does salting you from above
move and quell the child in me?
there are forces within the line of
your face;
it is by far strange, and relic to ancients
long dead; not knowing the rhythm,
not knowing what is right;
not knowing where I'm going
is the
worse under your arms.

social misfit
i don't want to stand out; i don't care for large crowds; there's not much to talk about; therefore who would stick around?
i don't really get out; when i go to get out; im just filled with many doubts; like, i should go and lay back down
i would like to vibe out; maybe even "hideout"; i prefer a low profile; otherwise I'm tired out; doesn't mean I'm not aroused
i don't want to die down; wanting to be felt sound; i don't want-to feel tied down....
wish...

A Lonesome Dreamer
Daisy and I were optimistic dreamers.
We fell for each other when we were young.
Love blazed like a fire in our hearts.
Roses bloomed and birds sang on our wedding day.
We promised to grow old together,
But she broke her promise to me.
Sadly, she left me in the prime of life.
Since then I’ve been a lonesome dreamer.
Decades have gone by since we parted.
It’s a shame we wasted a lifetime.
Now, Daisy and I are old and feeble.
Our heads are full of grey hair.
Despite ill health and wrinkles on our skins,
My love...
