Journey of Days
marked out
scars are deep
granulated
raised
hate designed this pattern of lace
body compensates for punches and kicks
pinned to soft pillows held with steel
bobbins twist and cross intricate designs
capturing events in delicate knots
infinite combinations
belying pain, tales, drama
to create a work of beauty
in silk and blood
triumph
you did not win
victory was mine
I wear the lace mantilla

Posé au bord de la fenêtre il regardait
Passer les individus qui souriaient.
Il s’était installé dans toutes les âmes de la terre,
Mais eux ne le savaient guère.

Posé au bord de la fenêtre il regardait
Ce qu’il avait bien pu infliger.
L’attente pouvait faire surgir des regrets,
Cependant, il le savait.

Il était posé sur toutes les fenêtres,
Partout, tout le temps, il était présent.
Il était posé sur la mienne, je lui disais « mais arrête ! »

Me faisant rêver encore plus **** que l’utopie,
Portant même un nom me donnant le tournis :
Espoir.
Put at the edge of the window he watched
Crossing the individuals who smiled
He was installed in all the souls
But them didn't know

Put at the edge of the window he looked at
What he had been able well to impose.
The wait could make arise regrets,
However, he knew that.

He was put on all the windows,
Everywhere, all the time, he was present.
He was put on mine, I told him "but stop!"

Making me dream even farther that the utopia
Have even a name giving me the sturdy:
hope.

I am whole with others but with you in my life, my heart remains broken. When you are not around, my heart is one. They say to heal a wound, you must not touch it. Over time I've constantly touched it. Every time I speak to you, my scab on my heart is ripped off and I feel everything you put me through. In order to heal a wound, you must not touch it. In order to keep my heart whole, I must distance myself from you... forever. I must refrain from hurting myself because I value the health of my heart.

"You deserve better"
I don't want better,
If better isn't him.
I loved him and I still do. Honestly I can't stand the thought of either of us hurtin. But we both need to get past this first. I can only pray that the best for us will happen, and he will live happily.

And oh,
it is almost
always
the same.

Unconscious, I have dreams:
and they are, usually, infected;
tainted by, and only
by: you.

Perhaps my tattered
subconscious cannot seem
to let go.
No, I suppose,
I cannot forget nor forgive
just how detrimental
an impact you had
upon my fractured soul.

Perhaps this is why
in all my dreams
I always see
you.
You're in the shadows,
always lurking, always
ready; ready to hurt me
a million times over
and over
and over
and over again, and god,
you really never left
this bed, did you?

You became my heart
Four years and eight months ago.
Through the windows
Of love
I envisioned you
Forever
For so long
irapairable and
Microscopic
Was the musle
Left
of my heart.
Superwoman
Has nothing on you
An angel
Grace
you brought upon me

A furry little kitten,
white, dotted with black.
No dominance,
it’s co-dominance!
Neither allele could make it through.
Running far ahead,
collapsing on the way.
Beauty shows in her phenotype.
Unfortunate signs in her genotype.
Kitty is diseased,
for heredity be cruel,
for her father killed by illness too.
Kitty,
a beauteous hybrid,
Her mother, angelic, snowy white.
Her father, dark and eerie.
What’s the probability?
Kitty be unique,
neither her mother or father,
finding a tad of both.
One Dominant or two Recessive alleles?
Neither.
Stuck in the middle,
Lies my Kitty.
A seventh-grade writing assignment I tweaked a bit.
