Letter I’ll never send M
Letter I will never send mum
You wanted an abortion but it was too late
then you wanted me to be a boy
I’m a girl
then you took in two other children
and left me to be looked after by whoever would do it
When I was ill it was not you I reached for
when i called you mummy you would look disgusted
and say don’t call me that
When I was exposed to disgusting things
and I told someone you told me that didn’t happen even though you knew that it had and probably worse had happened
and now I have lost years of memory most...

Plaything
You, my dear
Are nothing
But a toy..
A doll...
Or more,
A plaything.
What more is treasure,
Than an item that’s forgotten?
Buried to rot under saltwater,
Begging to be uncovered.
But
Playthings, honey
Never get lost easy.
You are destined for the junkyard
Let me tell you how it starts:
You let the smile rust,
And the body starts to filth
You’ve given up.
Why would anyone choose
To turn to dust?
You’ve been broken enough times
As if you’re addicted to someone else’s...
Are nothing
But a toy..
A doll...
Or more,
A plaything.
What more is treasure,
Than an item that’s forgotten?
Buried to rot under saltwater,
Begging to be uncovered.
But
Playthings, honey
Never get lost easy.

Let me tell you how it starts:
You let the smile rust,
And the body starts to filth
You’ve given up.
Why would anyone choose

You’ve been broken enough times

Beat me with honesty & fix me with lies
We’ve put years into getting to know each other & I admired your honesty
There were times your brutal honesty brought tears to my eyes
Your became comfortable being brutally honest & spoon fed me this on the daily
I believed your words with no intentions to put in work to make it work
You were always honest when it came to being rude
When’s it came time to show & tell you fixed me up with a blatant lie to my face
You exposed me & now you sit on the receiving end of being brutally honest
...

with friends like this...
when they keep
throwing you back
into the fire you
are trying to
escape from,
and telling you
that they care...
liars.

Crocheting Baphomets Cojones
Inverted,
I purge this warring vesper
wrangling a tangled dangle
slanted with a angled defunct ramses
as romulus rumbles with a cramping ram
what do you see, as you resemble me
assimilated as a desecrated fade
inside the sliced subsided rave
of an androgynous equilibrium
carved upon an enslaving grave
raise ho, your fettered mesh
and hexed flesh abashed and braised
graffitied branded with sanskrit skirts
shellacked and festered
from shattered worth
a charcoal moppet,
fistular...

The scandal of church
The hypocrisy in the sanctified sacred walls of shame
Where secrets are kept for centuries to preserve a semblance of normality
Buried beneath in the ancient crypts deep in death those sins lies lay
Practised perfectly is the art of eluding with delusions of piety
While embraced by the priceless customized fisherman's ring
Filling pews with thousands of faithful worshippers in churches
Globally numbering more than two billion
The televangelists who have kept coffers full with offerings
Live in mansions in millionaire celebrity neighbourhoods
While...

It is of these

are born that
even God dares
not sleep

The best days were in the rain
Before we met each other we both carried battle scars from our past
With barely enough love to give we held our love away from everyone
We seemed to mixed so well in the beginning, no matter what was mixed
I made you cry standing in the rain & you refused to understand why
You felt closer to me when I was in savage mode cause that’s what you were used too
Your consistency got us comfortable being strangers & starving each other with love
(Ms Understanding vs Misunderstanding)

A future built in seconds
My first time meeting you I was intrigued in the cat & mouse game
I was unaware you were already in love with me, the future came full circle when I was clueless
Previous encounters with you I never remember remained a constant thought & a vow you made to yourself
The connection to my family ran deep before I was in the picture
The pressure was put on my shoulders & I seen your potential & tried to make it work
Over time my words became manipulated when I opened my mouth & my silence was received with negativity
...

Instinct
Having faith
And belief
In what
One Is Told
Has never Been
About
What proof
One can see
It has always Been
About
What one
Does Not see
Relying on
Directed emotions
Injected
Wishful thinking
Substituting
One's Reasoning
For a mask
That hides
The fear
Of Thinking
what one
Instinctively Knows
And belief
In what
One Is Told
Has never Been
About
What proof
One can see
It has always Been
About
What one
Does Not see
Relying on
Directed emotions
Injected
Wishful thinking

The Angel & the Demon
We started our journey & the road was rocky from the beginning, but you assumed me “it was all good”
I made certain things known when you spoke with ill Intentions & I expected you to do the same with me
No matter how I felt I was convinced to stay, the chains were there & I felt them but no one could see them
There was Beauty in your eyes, love in your thoughts, confusion in your actions & poison off your tongue
Over time I understood what role you played when we played this game
