Material Girl
Ace Loren Jul 2020
You're suffocating me.
All I'm trying to do,
All I'm trying to be is
Me.
Purely, unapologetically, authentically.
You hate that,
Because the more I'm me,
The less space you have to boast you
To show off the sparkling, glittering,
Mesmerizing material that makes up
You.
That makes up all of who you are
And you hate that.
And you hate that
That's all you are.

Ace Loren Nov 2018
the space between excitation and inhibition
there I am
on the cusp of completely letting go
breaching the unknown

Her
Ace Loren Apr 2018
Her
Help me.
Her cry could be
Heard over
Hills and
Hells, and the cries of
Heathens and
Harlots and ******.
His lips smacked
Hard against each other, already tasting
Her.
His tongue
Had already anticipated
Her neck, the neck that protects
Her voice, the voice that was stolen by cries for
Help, over and over and over again
He invaded
Her body, but crushed
Her spirit, and speared
Her soul.
He didn’t steal
Her virtue.
He stole
Her light.
He smothered it with
His body, covering every inch.
Here is the story of
Her and
Her daughter and
Her daughter’s daughter, and every woman that ever lived.

Here is
Her story.

Heads bowed
Respect is due
Mindless slaves of prayer
Fingers tap a dedicated chant
The sounds of life fade

Life itself fades

Necks bent
Forever craned
Eyes worship the light
Don’t look away from the light

Screen shattered
Gravel stained
3477 sacrifices per day

Three thousand
Four hundred
Seventy seven sacrifices
Per day

One tap for likes
Two taps for loves
Three taps for Rest In Peace

Picking up the pieces of
Windshield, heart and phone screen

Three thousand
Four hundred
Seventy seven sacrifices
Per day

Heads bowed
I’m sorry for your loss
Respect is due
A moment of silence for
You
Mindless slaves of prayer

Amen

— The End —
