Loneliness is a deeper pit
Than any other in my soul.
It consumes every bit
And starts to eat you whole.

God created a symphony
And it’s the most beautiful song
And it’s the sound
Of your laugh.
God created the stars
But the brightest he saved
For your eyes
When they light up.
God created the soothing sounds
Of waves coming on land
But made the most soothing sound
Your voice.
God made the cities and plains
For the perfect balance of busy and calm
But the most beautifully complex
Was saved for your mind.

Six foot four,
Two hundred and sixty pounds.
I see your shaven neck
On strangers bodies
And I’m back there.
Right back where I can’t feel my hands
Alcohol spilled on my dress
Your hands are somewhere
And I am dead.
But, I already was.
You didn’t know that you were into that.
*** with dead souls.
Unfortunately my body was alive.
A causal day, ruined.
Brought back to that night
Just because of some mans
shaven neck.
I can feel the ache still.
Stomach churns
Anxiety chills
I did it again.
Then I remember other nights
Nights that I fought back
Nights that I was passed out
On some mans bathroom floor.
I can hear your laugh
And still feel your hands fight me
And hearing you say “just stop, you want this, you do it with everyone else”.
Skin feels like it’s not connected
to my body.
And breathing gets hard,
But not you.
Because you’re not here.
Not you, not the other men either.
And I’m back to today, in line,
Getting lunch.
And I am alone.
But I am not dead anymore.
Flashback is done
Now to eat a salad.

Warm summer nights
Intended to be surrounded
By fireflies and kisses
Replaced by “hell smiles”.
Those smiles I would give
When the world was bad
But making you mad
Would make it worse.
Living through hell
With a smile on my face
For years on end
Getting comfortable there.
I unpacked my thoughts
With the occasional housewarming gift
Quickly followed by the
Beer trickled fingertips.
If those sticky fingertips
Saw anything but my fake joy
I’d be reminded I was in hell,
So, I smile.
Liquor bottles tipped over
Spit in my face from the sharp
Sound of the start of the word
*****
That’s what I am.
A ***** who smiles through hell.
A ***** who catches your fall,
And keeps you from jail.
Hell smiles.
The one thing that keeps me sane
Through the nights of your terror
Is smiling in my living room of your brain.
Here, bruises are like weeds;
Insignificant, a nuisance.
Up my arms, down my legs,
Another night I smiled in hell.
But I moved out of that living room.
I forgot how to smile in hell.
And you didn’t like that,
So you found someone who could.
Now I’m alone in hell
Forgetting how to leave
And grasping for more
Than hell smiles.

A lonely tree
Broken, afraid, abused.
It craved comfort
And it craved love.
There, there, lonely tree,
For I will be your sun.
Shining on the ground
Helping your leaves grow.
A scared tree you are,
Filled with broken branches.
I will help you grow new ones,
Stronger than the old.
A healing tree you are,
Starting to grow new buds.
Still so fragile,
Your branches are all new.
A happy tree you are,
You dance in my rays
And they only shine for you
Grow happy tree, grow.
And a growing tree you are.
My rays bounce off you
So everyone sees your beauty
And gets shade from my rays.
A loving tree you are
Giving me purpose as the sun,
Giving you life
Is what makes me shine.
A busy tree you are,
Housing new life,
Wishing just once
For a cloud all day.
A happy sun I am.
Even when the clouds
Block my rays from you,
I know you are under there.
A cloudy sun I am.
Some days I peak through
And glimpse my happy tree,
Forgetting about my rays.
A sad sun I am.
Happy tree is there,
But happy tree, is busy tree,
And forgets about the sun.
A rainy sun I am.
Let the rain fall for days,
Only to hope my busy tree
Is growing.

Before you, she was full.
Then you came.
Then you came and you slowly ****** the life out of her.
I watched her shrivel up and die in your embrace.
I watched her fade away into complete oblivion as you held her.
I sat there and did nothing as you led her to a slow, painful death.
A very slow and a very painful death.
And now her last beat forever echoes off the walls of my empty chest.
Will she ever beat again?
This ghost heart.

So much time used up
On something I thought
Would be lifelong
That was murdered by the creation.
So much time used up
Filling my voids
Bandaging my wounds
And avoiding my heart.
So much time used up
Having sleepless dreams
Eating anxiety soup
and trying to break my mind.
So much time used up
Washing my face in tears
Putting on the makeup
That masked my dead face.
So much time just,
Used up.
Then you.
So much time used up
Listening to that voice
Soothing as the breeze
Scary as the ocean.
So much time used up
Letting our souls out
Talking about anxiety meals
And holes barely stitched together.
So much time used up
Learning all about your heart holes
Stitched with gut wretches
As she made every hole.
So much time used up
Grabbing your hands
And showing you how to sew
And we sewed each other up
So much time used up
After we realized we shared
The same string to sew our hearts
and now they connect forever.
So much time used up
Listening to our heart string tunes
Play a new song
Of soul love
So much time used up
Laying head on stomach
And afternoon laughs
Sprinkled with our breaths
So much time used up
On dreams of you
Anxiety soup isn’t
Served here anymore.
So much time used up
On never having enough
Time with you,
My love.

I am so afraid of talking to you
Reality let loose by your venomous soft lips is hard to hear
The few messages I send have no response
The pain that ensues pursuing an answer from you is where my fear resides
Besides believing in a miracle to happen
Directing my satin sails back to clear waters
I do not deserve such a beautiful ending
Or do I?!

Kisses.
Sweet and soft.
Childhood.
Innocence.
Faster.
Heavy breathing.
My heart, it beats
I can feel every pump.
Stomach.
Leaping,
Then diving.
Roller coaster.
Clothes.
On, happy.
Slipping, and scared,
Hands grasp at my dress.
Kissing.
Scary.
Breathless, gasp.
Closed mouth.
Faster.
Head spins.
No.
Say no fast.
Stomach.
Dead leaper.
Alive fire.
Tucked into lungs.
Clothes.
Battling hands.
Defeated hands.
Clothes off.
Kissing.
Forced.
Lost consistency
Dead.
Faster.
No, no, say it fast.
Breathe.
Fast pumps.
Pumps of pain.
Stomach.
Empty.
Hollow guilt.
Swelled up alcohol.
Clothes.
Gone, missed.
Coveted bedsheets.
Grasping for cover.
Kissing.
Dead.
No more.
Death.
