As the teardrops fall from my eyes, I contemplate on my life. I've never been good at anything But I fooled myself into thinking That I was loved by you. I wish The first words that popped into my head I wish that we never met I wish that I didn't love you I wish that I too was like My brothers after me Gone Without a trace left Except for the occasional pain and heartache. My mother's strong So I'm sure losing another won't be too hard A blow. My head, a dark place and you, the light within The light flickers and then finally withers You're gone. My anxiety grows worse Depression creeps in Sleep no longer offers any comfort Skimpy meals and music embrace me Like a mother, placing my head On her ******* caressing it slowly Until I fall asleep. A forbidden slumber As my consciousness slips away, I say a final prayer to protect my mother.

I Wish
Love, Often referred to as sweet Is more like a sea urchin; Prickly, poisonous and lethal. Innocent bystanders are pulled Into a tornado of emotions; Happiness, doubt and uncertainty. If they do escape They leave beaten and bruised Doomed to live with the trauma From their ill fated relationship. Some are lucky and do experience true love While others find toxicity. Love, A beautiful rose In the midst of a thorny rose bush. A weary gardener who carefully waters And grooms the plant Can successfully pick the flower While the lazy one will ***** their finger During the tedious process. Love; Beautiful but painful.
