Why

Jan 2014 Another girl

Just Me

Why

If I asked you what you loved
what would you say?

Can I guess?

Your mother, father, brother, sister
Reading, writing, singing
Music, friends
Everything

The list could go on and on
am I right?

I think I am.

But.

How long would it take you to say
the most important one

Minutes?
Hours?
Days?
Years?
Ever?

Would you be able to say it
Could you even say it

How long would it take you
to say
myself
I love myself

For some
It never happens

Why you ask?

How could someone not love themselves?

I think you know.
But you just don't want too.
You don't want to see it, hear it.

But I'm going to tell you.

Whether you like it or not.

So Why?

Why is because when she looks in the mirror
All she sees is an ugly face
An ugly body
And ugly soul
How could she love such an ugly being?

Why is because when she lies awake at 3 in the morning
All her insecurities attack her
All her doubts, her worries
Flood her every thought, drowning everything else out
How could she love such a weak pathetic being?

So you ask why some will never be able to say "I love myself"
This is Why
These are the thoughts going through their heads
The thoughts that never leave them alone

How long would it take you to say 'myself' Minutes, Hours, Days, Years, Ever

Think for Me (6 syllable lines)

Sitting here mindlessly
scrolling through search engines
trying to find the words
to express how I feel.
Nothing I find applies.
No it's not a heart break.
No I don't want him back.
Something that says I'm lost -
that my heart's been stolen,
and left in it's dark void
is hollow emptiness;
but I'm not sad, just numb.
Someone's epiphany
To steal and call my own.
Well it's been 5 hours
And still I can't find one.

I would liken you
To a night without stars
Were it not for your eyes.
I would liken you
To a sleep without dreams
Were it not for your songs.

Walkin With A Ghost

Walkin With A Ghost

How can you miss me?
I did not know I was gone.
I am still here,
surrounding you,
keeping you safe.
You are lost
I see your tears,
but cannot seem to provide
the comfort you crave.
I am still here;
remember the smiles and the laughter?
Remember me holding your hand?
You are my everything
and I am not gone.
I am the air you breathe,
and the wind that whispers your name.
Feel me?
I am the rain
and the sun,
and maybe even the cat next door,
when he rubs himself affectionately
against your legs.
See me?
I am marking you,
you are still mine.
By your side,
I am.
I am walking with you,
and you
are walking with a ghost.

Anorexic

Anorexic

Flesh is heretic.
My body is a witch.
I am burning it.

Yes I am torching
ber curves and paps and wiles.
They scorch in my self denials.

How she meshed my head
in the half-truths
of her fevers

till I renounced
milk and honey
and the taste of lunch.

I vomited
her hungers.
Now the ***** is burning.

I am starved and curveless.
I am skin and bone.
She has learned her lesson.

Thin as a rib
I turn in sleep.
My dreams probe

a claustrophobia
a sensuous enclosure.
How warm it was and wide

once by a warm drum,
once by the song of his breath
and in his sleeping side.

Only a little more,
only a few more days
sinless, foodless,

I will slip
back into him again
as if I had never been away.

Caged so
I will grow
angular and holy

past pain,
keeping his heart
such company

as will make me forget
in a small space
the fall

into forked dark,
into python needs
heaving to hips and *******
and lips and heat
and sweat and fat and greed.

Your wrinkles turn you blue.
Your hair makes you mad.
Your dress grabs your time.
Your wall posts state you’re insecure.
Even your eyeglass won’t help you,
To clearly see the obvious
Just let your worries disappear.
And take a deep breath.
Turn your head at your side.
Look at me.
Right then, you’ll figure out.
LOVE is all that matters after all.

Bottoms up; spirits down.

Last night I drank a bottle of wine
broke down and cried
about everything
that's not going right
in my life.

Worst of all is how alone I feel
every waking moment
every breath
every second I'm alive.

Don't mind me.

My Sacrifice

My Sacrifice

Test me against my wills
Throw me at my wits
Hurt me till I bleed

For the river still flows
To the ocean tides low
Till my last dying sorrow

Conclusion

For love I'll not forsake
Everything for your sake
To prove to you what I'm made
To love you genuinely
I'll take...
