You made it sound so sweet and loving in my memory
When your hands held my face, nails digging into my cheeks
Inspecting my face with a saccharine smile on yours
I was a child unaware you were looking for the gypsy
I'm your first grandchild and you inspected me like cattle
Stamping me effortlessly with being not gypsy enough
Expecting me to be as dark as my father with an irish mom
Never ceases to amaze me when people do that
Look at these little kids like they're just supposed
To look just like their dad's right out the womb
You...
When your hands held my face, nails digging into my cheeks
Inspecting my face with a saccharine smile on yours
I was a child unaware you were looking for the gypsy
I'm your first grandchild and you inspected me like cattle
Stamping me effortlessly with being not gypsy enough
Expecting me to be as dark as my father with an irish mom
Never ceases to amaze me when people do that
Look at these little kids like they're just supposed
To look just like their dad's right out the womb
You...

It was a normal day at the mall
Locals and tourists invading luxury shops
Security high for it gave also thieves after all
And crimes they were there to stop
Yet one crime occured in a bathroom stall
A maiden found dead on the floor
Almost like an angel sleeping
Zero mark of violence she bore
Except for that small spot, bleeding
A needle insert, it seemed
Enough drug to kill a boar
And more than enough to kill miss Green
No surprise, the fellow who killed her
Turned out to be James, her ex lover.

Lover
~ Written on the 18th of February 2018 ~~
@'~'- ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆
In this cold and starry night
On my bed I lay alone
In my head I'm asking why
do I miss you to the bones?
Once you said, don't waste your life
waiting for me there...
But that's me, for you I'd dive
into depths unknown, I'd dare!
But the night I said is cold,
as the wind blows some sorrow,
tells me, you're too bold,
he may leave tomorrow...
And the wind is right
Why my burning fire ...

Snobby Standards.
Look here. What's that on your chin?"
"My chin?"
"Yes."
"Oh that."
"What is it?"
"Its sick!"
"Sick!"
"Yeah."
"You've been sick?"
"Yeah."
"When?"
"Earlier on."
"How could you not know you had sick on your chin?"
"I don't know."
"Why were you sick?"

"You must do?"
"Seriously. I don't."
"I don't believe you!"

bias in her eyes
I sit there legs crossed under the unnatural light
A cart of paint supplies at my right
My loving partner seated to my left
And across from me a lovely salesperson
Together we're chatting while she types on the computer
We are pleasantly talking about buying a washer and dryer
It's all so normal... So very normal... So fucking normal
With a smile my partner brings up the fact I'm a local
And I respond with my normal memorized lines
The boring trifecta of how from the area I am
And when with a grin she assumed which high school I went to ...

Left to rot
I was left there that summer, an end of an era
They left with sweet hugs and assurance of keeping their promise
The assurance of a steadfast connection
Of not being discarded even though we had to be parted
Though not a minute later it seemed,
They had forgotten their promise and left me out to rot
Like yesterday's garbage
They left with sweet hugs and assurance of keeping their promise
The assurance of a steadfast connection
Of not being discarded even though we had to be parted
Though not a minute later it seemed,
They had forgotten their promise and left me out to rot
Like yesterday's garbage

Au revoir
Another page is turned
Devastated, drained and to say the least, hurt.
On my own again at the winter of my life.
Nothing to look forward to
No help in sight, no family to rely on
How does one cope with this?
I don't drink, I don't do drugs
Hell, I'm not rich enough to ease my pain with these things.
Future looks bleak, for now.
I've always been one to get back on my feet stronger.
This time feels different....
Devastated, drained and to say the least, hurt.
On my own again at the winter of my life.
Nothing to look forward to
No help in sight, no family to rely on
How does one cope with this?
I don't drink, I don't do drugs
Hell, I'm not rich enough to ease my pain with these things.
Future looks bleak, for now.
I've always been one to get back on my feet stronger.

Defecate Without You.
Take 11 steps,
Back2BackStackedBack2BackLetsBackTrack,
But without,
Those Killer Words,
Letting my Heart,
Break down,
Down
Down
Down,
Into pit,
Of meat diseased gut,
Gutter,
Wait,
One sec,
I've got 2,
defecate,
In front of you,
B4,
you decide 2 go.
Go,
Don't Go,
DontGo,
Don't...
