Drunk Confession
Waiting for this last
I’m hanging onto you
Counting stars
Hoping somehow
We didn’t fall apart
Checking every universe
Wondering if I ever fit the part
Don’t leave me behind
Gods, know I’m trying
To fit every piece
As if I’m needed
Tell me I’m not lost
Tell me my name
I’ve forgotten it
For yours
I think about
Us ever night
Wondering if
We’d have made it
In another life
I wonder
If I’ll bear your scars
I wonder
If that’s all I can do
Because I’m the one who
Is...
I’m hanging onto you
Counting stars
Hoping somehow
We didn’t fall apart
Checking every universe
Wondering if I ever fit the part
Don’t leave me behind
Gods, know I’m trying
To fit every piece
As if I’m needed
Tell me I’m not lost
Tell me my name
I’ve forgotten it
For yours
I think about
Us ever night
Wondering if
We’d have made it
In another life
I wonder
If I’ll bear your scars
I wonder
If that’s all I can do
Because I’m the one who
Is...

I'm still hurting...
I am a human being.
I wear my heart on my sleeve,
I often get taken advantage of by greed-y.
People with needs they cannot fulfill themselves.
While I put my own feelings up on a shelf.
Despite spending years in a loop,
where I was constantly drowning
and saving my self.
So sick of this shit.
Remember that Nice little girl,
that used to take every hit.
I remember Every single bit of it.
Every lie and manipulation tactic.
Had me searching for my worth,
as if...

go tell the wind
Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and
often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
go tell the wind blow gently on my sorrow,
that i may hope retain to face tomorrow;
compass me not with unrelenting anger,
where i'm already chased by pregnant danger.
go tell the tears to wait a little longer,
till i have learnt to be a little stronger;
submerge me not in spate, o mighty river,
nor in your spite make me a short-lived liver.
entreat my heart to pound a bit more...
often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.”

Missing
Not so very long ago,
I did not know I needed you.
None of us did—
it's hard to miss someone you never knew.
Now, your absence looms large
every time you leave.

Abscent Pictures
Many frames are empty
memories seem to disappear
not much more to create
isolation is what I fear
Journey decades back
this wasn't the case
family and friends fulfilled my life
was in a much happier place
Now I'm old & tired
watching the days move by
not much more to live for
passing the time, waiting to die
memories seem to disappear
not much more to create
isolation is what I fear
Journey decades back
this wasn't the case
family and friends fulfilled my life
was in a much happier place
Now I'm old & tired
watching the days move by
not much more to live for
passing the time, waiting to die

One arm dragging.
Growing pains.
One arm dragging on the floor.
I had you,
Unfit,
to be called.
Raw expression,
Depression.
Not fit, to be called a Mum.

Forests of Twilight
In blackened dreams
a mist descends from the hills
Unsuspecting
Only the dust moves,
like a funeral veil of melancholy
Sorrow
The traveler of unknown plains
through darkness & light
Confused
Flowers of desirable bloom
Lethal in touch and smell
Death
a mist descends from the hills
Unsuspecting
Only the dust moves,
like a funeral veil of melancholy
Sorrow
The traveler of unknown plains
through darkness & light
Confused
Flowers of desirable bloom
Lethal in touch and smell
Death

that flower (shed its skin)
not
as young
and naive
as the
year before,
eyes
watching
around himself,
possessions
tucked away,
don't
stand
too close,
i will not
be responsible.

That Which is Strange to Me
Often I ponder during the light of day
About just how how much time I’ve wasted away
My goals and dreams once tied neatly with string
Somewhere along the line became insignificant things
His presence in my life consumed my thoughts and desires
His breath ignited the flames of a future I had hoped would burn brighter
Where hope was once extinguished a new promise was made
I believed in his safe harbor but I was just being played
Now my all my days have become dark and gray
I no longer wish for someone to come along and made the clouds go...

Not Meant for Me
Romance has not been meant for me
Since the days that my love was taken from me
When the world decided he couldn’t be with me
And my life crashed around me
I wandered in my mind aimlessly
I couldn’t see past my heart’s new vacancy
My fortress was constructed painfully
Becoming debaucherous my new specialty
The earth traveled the sun ever so faithfully
Over time I found myself living out my wildest fantasies
With little emotion I used men salaciously
Some would say I lived life too shamefully ...

The earth traveled the sun ever so faithfully
