Peanut butter and spermicidal jelly sandwich
She makes me feel impotent
Whenever I'm around her I feel like I don't exist
She makes me mad
I try & find the words but I can't
I want to lash out but I can't move
She makes me feel like I'm made out of wood
She turns my brain into wax
She pushes me around
I don't know how to say no
Every moment I spend with her, I lose a part of myself
I want to get out, but I can't see my life without her
I think I know what needs to be done...
Whenever I'm around her I feel like I don't exist
She makes me mad
I try & find the words but I can't
I want to lash out but I can't move
She makes me feel like I'm made out of wood
She turns my brain into wax
She pushes me around
I don't know how to say no
Every moment I spend with her, I lose a part of myself
I want to get out, but I can't see my life without her
I think I know what needs to be done...

TAKING COVID LIGHTLY
He was one of the
thousands, if
not millions, who
took the Covid
guidelines lightly.
He mocked mask wearers,
and refused to
social distance,
gloves were insane.
The vaccine was
a government hoax.
He was buried yesterday,
cause of death?
Covid.

Flight
Like a butterfly in flight
You disappear into the distance
Taking with you
All I gave you
After having
Given nothing
In return
It's disheartening
To say the least
You disappear into the distance
Taking with you
All I gave you
After having
Given nothing
In return
It's disheartening
To say the least

dismissed
you hurt me with your callous words
and I wonder do you know how you cut?
you must know, you know me well
I didn't come here to hook up
my anxiety peak and it was crippling
my voices howled and it was deafening
the world was beautiful to some but not for me
I found your presence soothing when I first came
I wrote about demons
I was frightened but they weren't going away
so I came into a place of acceptance
I became their slave
I talk for them and gave them voice
it was either that or break under the weight
...

Beggar’s Prayer
i was wailing for you
in my car that day
that promised fate
all day and night long
driving around lost
bawling along to a
hymn of broken hearts
by emiliana torrini
desire echoed infinity
my beggar’s prayer
was a singing bowl
overflowing with emotion
grasping at hope
i never knew love
could hurt so damn much
aching for you but
you were out of reach
so close yet far, i was
alone in the dark
driving around lost
wearing weight on my soul
in my car that day
that promised fate
all day and night long
driving around lost
bawling along to a
hymn of broken hearts
by emiliana torrini
desire echoed infinity
my beggar’s prayer
was a singing bowl
overflowing with emotion
grasping at hope
i never knew love
could hurt so damn much
aching for you but
you were out of reach
so close yet far, i was
alone in the dark
driving around lost
wearing weight on my soul

Forgive Me
Roses are not supposed to burn.
I didn't know what I’m supposed to do.
Your desire was so hot;
You had me so confused.
I didn’t mean the words I said
That's not what I intended to do.
Love me
But don't leave me
Listen to what I am saying to you
Dont give that desire
To someone new
I won't play any more games
Hear what I’m telling you
Don't take our fire
I just don't know what to do
Please, please please
See that I am begging you
I'll give you the pleasure.
And I’ll take the pain ...
I didn't know what I’m supposed to do.
Your desire was so hot;
You had me so confused.
I didn’t mean the words I said
That's not what I intended to do.
Love me
But don't leave me
Listen to what I am saying to you
Dont give that desire
To someone new
I won't play any more games
Hear what I’m telling you
Don't take our fire
I just don't know what to do
Please, please please
See that I am begging you
I'll give you the pleasure.
And I’ll take the pain ...

she used to look at me like she hated me
...my mother's mother...
wanted to erase my existence from her reality
mom always said it was all in my head
...that I was just being too sensitive
{I got that a lot growing up...}
until one holiday when I was 15
that woman sent a box of presents
lovely wrapped packages for mom & my sister
...complete with shimmery bows & pretty labels
each of them receiving warm fluffy robes
{they even had big pockets!}
...& matching slippers for them both ...

a gift
do not
bring
yourself as
a gift
to me,
give me
the chance
to
unwrap you,
then take
it back.

COLD SHOWER
She broke his heart
And wounded his soul;
His hormones badly
Needed control.
He was left
Emotionally raw;
He knew that night
There would be no 'score'.
He undressed,
Taking a cold shower
To ease his body
Of lust's power.
The water took
Downward direction;
As, later, his
Use-less erection.
And wounded his soul;
His hormones badly
Needed control.
He was left
Emotionally raw;
He knew that night
There would be no 'score'.
He undressed,
Taking a cold shower
To ease his body
Of lust's power.
The water took
Downward direction;
As, later, his
Use-less erection.

THE LONELY ONE
The lonely person often walks unnoticed
with unsteady step and eyes unfocused,
failing to keep pace within the crowd.
An approach of reluctance to everything,
like a crutch under the arm that stings,
maintaining balance amidst turbulence.
Seeing, yet, did not recognize nor care,
as if that person was as normal as you,
beneath the shrouded cloak they wear.
Loneliness can feed on pure isolation,
depression its friend, little is noticed,
there's signals, a lack of communication.
Loneliness has its very own...
with unsteady step and eyes unfocused,
failing to keep pace within the crowd.
An approach of reluctance to everything,
like a crutch under the arm that stings,
maintaining balance amidst turbulence.
Seeing, yet, did not recognize nor care,
as if that person was as normal as you,
beneath the shrouded cloak they wear.
Loneliness can feed on pure isolation,
depression its friend, little is noticed,
there's signals, a lack of communication.
Loneliness has its very own...

Battery Operated
Don’t ever build a wall between us girl
I’ll tear that bitch down, I’ll tear that bitch down
Please say you don’t need me
You can even deceive me
Tear my heart out like an unwanted weed baby
Lil Momma, you can even emotionally bleed me
Take the nine out of the drawer and just squeeze
Carve my heart out of my chest boo, just don’t tease
Alienate me, treat me like the plague, a fucking disease
You work your magic so well, with the greatest of ease
While I’m walking a high wire from hurt to hurt
You’re...
I’ll tear that bitch down, I’ll tear that bitch down
Please say you don’t need me
You can even deceive me
Tear my heart out like an unwanted weed baby
Lil Momma, you can even emotionally bleed me
Take the nine out of the drawer and just squeeze
Carve my heart out of my chest boo, just don’t tease
Alienate me, treat me like the plague, a fucking disease
You work your magic so well, with the greatest of ease
While I’m walking a high wire from hurt to hurt
You’re...
