Just a 20 something trying to make it in this world. My passion for writing runs deep, it's not the best, but it's my wonderful release. I am addicted to reading, and letting those wonderful worlds in books take me to far off lands, alternate realities, different era's where the real world is long lost from my mind, for some time.
Whisper as the petal falls
Soft bare steps across wood floor
Strangled mourning drowned by breathing
The rain pounds windows with soft beating
A heavy bottle -held- by innocent fingers
Gasping, failing, contorting features
Purity poisoned with clear amber
A mind distorted near disaster
Fading visions, pleading calls
Footsteps stumble, as you fall
Rising slowly, gaining strength
Grasping doorways along the way
Intakes deep of icy air
Reflections haunt in windows glare
A handle twists, a door creeks open
Breaking glass sounds, liquor’s flowing
Lashes flutter, eyes bloodshot
Crimson stains white, muscles taut
Searing pain and misting sights
Screams now fill the cold still night
Unlocked secrets, truth unmarked
Wilting flowers paint the dark
I wonder why you drown your sorrows
As sun dawns a new tomorrow

Sanctuary,
Take me from these wintry prisons
That captive, I am, through misery’s fangs
Be still, defiant, no more to me
my course heart beats, so guiltily
Harsh words I spoke, regret, I fold
Your care, I trust, to gaurd me safe
Humility bars me, I fall so low
I’m sorry..
I’m sorry…
Defeat, I pulse, my blood runs warm
In relief, my spirits, content to you
Vulnerability guides me to your arms
Sanctuary, take me away to your heart
Hold me not to my flaws
Forgive me, my love, I plea…
I’m sorry…
I’m sorry..
———————————————————
Sanctuary,
Such solitude, you rescued me
My love, I gave compassionately
Yet now I find I’ve lost the sight
No sanctuary, are you, this night
In light, I guard my heart from you
This pain I suffer, I hold anew
With filth and bile, my body tense
Struck upon your cheek, my harsh caress
Alone I sit, to ponder such strength of love
Such confound deeds you treason for
I surrender myself to a subconscious alcove
Understand me, I have strength none more
I have forgiven
I can’t forget
Sanctuary,
Apologize, your actions speak
Arrogance,your sin, you live vanity
A lust you craved, such a tempting taste
The distinctive man now gone to waste
Bountiful bosoms, and laughter equips
All of my once pleasure and happiness
Selfish desires, contrite you now seem
Was my heartbreak worth your wanton need?
I’m vulnerable, you seem so strong
I live imprisoned within your arms
I take you back, my weakness of love
You rapture my heart, your mistakes undone
I have now forgiven
I can’t forget

I look down to my hands
and feet
fingers and my toes
I often wondered
how are those
so physically able?
when my heart trembles
mumbles, and stumbles
with its broken beats
it’s not capable to handle
another careless keeper
to not drop it, scrape it
crush the remains
then hand it back to me
I’m steel gaurded with a key
don’t ask me to let you in
just for me to believe
then have you hand me
another broken piece of my
still constructing heart
that no longer beats
compassionately for a true love
with all it’s mishappen
sewed up, and bandaged,
cracked, crumbling, bruised
beauty
I am vulnerable
but not weak
I am strong
no longer naive
Don’t let me Believe
Let me see
proof is through actions that
speak
words are nothing but
pretty wrappings
charming but hiding
something within their
nice packaging
I’ve learned from my past
the mistakes have imprinted
at long last
not to trust a pretty smile
and perfect teeth
because the ugliness
is buried deep
it’s in a dark soul
A pretender masked
with an angel’s face

The crisp of autumn’s sigh
brushes my hair into my eyes
With a giggle that muffles
behind my closed lips
I am kissed with a
nostalgic bliss
Beauties of golds, reds, and yellows
orange and faded greens of trees
A crunch follows me with every footstep
Upon fallen leaves
I am lulled into a wakening dream
a fairy tale I love so well
Made up with every single sight
a sight that leaves me breathless and light
So innocent, how children do
living within their childhood hue
I grasp for that inner being,
that little girl that never stopped dreaming
and its so wonderful, that naivete
to stop and not worry of how life is supposed to be

Let’s play make believe
Dress up in crowns for royalty and capes for enemies
With swords as weapons to slay the evil dragon
that stole the damsel in pink
No one wants a crying girl
that’s why it’s called fantasy
Let’s play reality
Dress up in skirts and heels to flirt
and jeans and shirts for comfort
With drinks to lose ourselves to unwanted feelings
and memories to having fun without a scene
leaving the stolen to fend for themselves
Noone wants a crying girl
that’s why you ignore the weeping
that’s why you play unfeeling
as you slur your words and blur your sight
It doesn’t make it right
but it’s better than taking responsibility
That’s why people make believe because real life isn’t like the fairy tale stories

We consume this negativity
we inhale it like air
it inflates our lungs
our veins our heart
and it smothers it’s beating
controls it’s feeling
makes a hole in the middle of our soul
and infiltrates our mind
we stop thinking rationally
and start hating passionately
desperate to rip apart
anyone that seems happy
in our path
it makes you spread dismay
and ***** out gossip that decays
rotates, and changes an opinion
of a person
of a group
and it spreads like a disease
like a virus from mouth to mouth
ear to ear
hand to hand
we don’t understand how it began
it just evolves
until someone’s resolve
crumbles
because we tore them down
chewed them up and spit them out
that’s what negativity does
it drowns out all the happiness
that was in ones heart
it blackens the soul
until its done its part
then it leaves…
washes away with the eve
and your left standing with a guilty plea
of…
‘I’m so sorry’

in sympathy we speak
empathy we try
but really,
we don’t understand
until the shoes are filled one day in time
and it makes us wiser to those
who understand not,
their woes
as we understand not,
our own
until we grow and become
that once advice we held on to
but never really had hope
to overcome the obstacles
of such miserly trials
in time
yes, time
that one thing that never
really dies
it never stops
this life
it goes on outside of our strife
we move on
and live stronger
than we had once felt
before we were wiser
