the divorce pages
I dreaded this day forever
but when it finally came
I found myself indifferent
divorce...we will be divorced
after twenty years of marriage
I've lived in fear--
I've lived unhappily for years
I love him he is my friend
I thought all the problems with us were mine
with a clear mind, I realize the truth
I was always more willing to forgive his shortcomings
with him things are black and white
it's my fault...
I don't blame him for not loving me anymore
I don't love myself
I will miss him like...

YOU DID ME SO WRONG
Here I sit within the darkness of the night as the moonlight shines through the open curtains as i sit here all alone just me and my silent inner thoughts that runs through my mind, as they pull at the very strings attach to the depth of my heart exposing my true deepness that seems to be drowning me with each teardrop I cried alone within the darkness of many nights.

I CANT KEEP CRYING INSIDE
From the gripping of my soul to the slab of stone sitting and pressing upon the depth of my heart that shackles my mind in deep, expanding thoughts of scattred memories I though were once lost within the darkness of my broken heart of hearts.
But yet the very viciousness of your very betrayal leaves even a deeper scar for I trusted you with my heart as well as my...

Mexicans have no feelings
They're machos and drunks
They eat at taco stands and cus real loud
They talk about the old country and call each other pisanos
Betting on the mexican boxer is always a must, no matter how bad he is
All their money goes to Mexico
Most work labor jobs

Bad Ass Bitch
did my best to make you happy
never a good friend
you treat me so badly
[I]
don't have the strength to fight you
[I]
don't want to keep making you angry
[I]
don't even need a reason why
-
i'll be there when you come around
if distance is what you need
then I won't push the situation
guess I can at least hold my head up high
without a thought of who's wrong or right
I will say this though
being an ass doesn't make...

What Is This?
Once upon a time, I cared.
My empire was all I craved to protect.
Mine were worth dying for to protect.
Then she came with honeyed flattering words.
She promised power like that which has never been seen before.
She vowed that she would remain by my side for all time.
Did she lie?
Not quite.
The power is here. I can warp reality to my will.
But...I don't care.
The empire will serve and worship me for all time.
My kitty, my home, my empire...
It all seems so insignificant.
I will protect them all with my...

STAYIN’ OR LEAVIN’ (DECIDING ON WHICH IS BETTER OR WORSE)
What is left to say that has not been already repeatedly said?
Why should I try and make you continue staying here with me anymore?
When you've already gone ahead and decided to secretly exit stage left -
How can I make you see that what you've done to me is far beyond immoral and unjust?
When you've already slammed shut your guiltless book and proceeded to solely blame me for all the inflictions that were done between us -
Yeah, it's probably true that you and I were probably not meant to last -
But we'll never know whether that is actually the case or not - ...

Never Return To Me
I never want to see
Your face again
You're nothing to me
You're not my friend
You threw me away
And didn't care how it hurt
Now I just want to see you
Six feet in the dirt
Because you hurt me
Like no one else ever has
And I can't take this pain
Can't come back from the past
I know who you are
I've known your kind all my life
Your smile hides the hand
Where you hold the knife
And it doesn't bother you
To plunge it deep inside
To make me bleed
And laugh while I cry
...

Phantom Eyes
It was a dream snuffed like other dreams
— by a bulb circuit,
left wading in a black lake where I was cradled
by the imagination
and dipping a foot to the circle ripple of the bank.
The string at the nexus of shadow creased against the room temperature.
It binded my finger with this hallucinogen ring
that you had visited me
from your long coast
when I had taken my checkered quilt because now it is fall,
and my blinks set heavier than in spring.
I leaned in a bed...

Dreams of a Feast
To the person that leaves me hungry,
whose voice I hear softly speaking in my heightened hearing,
who fills my stomach with emptiness, hidden in the shadow of my room,
The one that speaks to me through my phone
with her digital tongue to say I’m sorry we missed each other
To whom I address emails strung together like paperless chains to say
I’m sorry, I’ll be home late again and again and again
To the person I find evidence of in dinners left on the stove
whose trails I follow around the kitchen
Whose daily activities I surmise, but am never sure...

I’m sorry, I’ll be home late again and again and again
To the person I find evidence of in dinners left on the stove
whose trails I follow around the kitchen
Whose daily activities I surmise, but am never sure...

Rusting locks for the spied upon
A conspiratorial carousel
Where the unmerry go round wearing dunce caps
And clown boots
Perhaps it's a dedication to decadence
Which leaves me festering through the days
Preoccupied with paranoia
Infatuated with suffering
How deep can I really get
Past bone, but marrow
How to hurt the soul though?
This razor won't cut god's weave
No matter how blunt we get.
Flesh is just a matted mess
White streaks on pale skin
Bumped and ridged
Patches of hair between the scar tissue
The stench of paranoia is leaking in ...
