"Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood." / / T. S. Eliot
I only ever wanted to be the better half of you Until I realized it was never my place to complete you

Everybody don't love you Majority don't even like you So stop mistaking him ******* you As a desire to wife you He jokes about you While you choke up on tears He only wants you to choke on one thing & it isn't the memories over these years Let it go flower child.. You picked your petals long ago The only thing left to be seen Is do dying flowers regrow?

Flower Child
There was nothing more permanent Than the sound of the door Closing behind him The day he walked out It wasn't even actual door That's how dramatic his exit was That's how devastating a loss it was I had to make a cartoon of it So as to not be heartbroken But the actual end Well that was kind of romantic Like something you catch on a Friday On a wide screen Rain & tears Questions ringing Like what am I suppose to do? I'm crying But my ****** composure is perfect I'm screaming But he's right in front me But I still doubt he's hearing me He can't face the disgrace Of his actions That he could leave something once so beautiful So broken So here comes that movie made exit.. Exhaustion Of fighting over the same things Of laughter met with anger The discommunication between us.. It was time that someone exited So he did.

Exit, No Entry
He kissed me & it was as if my heart quit Bc I knew then Life couldn't go on Without him

I'm so busy settling That I missed the chance To explore This land I've been told of Something called freedom to love Everyone hopped on the boat Eager to make their way Away from settling ways I couldn't help but wonder why I was settling.. Breaking ground for a man Who wouldn't even plant the seed My body lay dormant As he proceeds To settle on top of mine I was settling again.. Why am I settling? I asked him if I could make way To extended parts of this ground I had broke, solely myself He said no Continue to work as you have been We're not finished But where was the he in we? It's all been me.. I settled again today The news of expectance has been given to me But not us He said it is neither the time nor the place Get rid of it I settled for his theory.. Maybe he was right So I settled to give up motherhood I settled today I was lain comfortably in this satin lined coffin I Settled comfortably in the ground I settled in this darkness Because even after life Death is matter of settling

Settling
I shiver Your touch no longer warms my soul It's more comparable to the winter of '14 When even looking out the windows Made you familiar with the ice outside I hate The fact I no longer feel safe I can't confide my secrets in you I can't even say I love you Because that gives you a power You'll most likely abuse I blame Your absent mother for your lack of love I came into your life And you expected me to save you But I couldn't even save myself.. I apologize That even though your to blame I was always too timid to stand Against your rigid ways So maybe it's my fault Maybe I just didn't love hard enough.
