This is not anger.

This is rage.
Blood fizzing in your veins like carbonated torrents,
Stomach acids boiling over.
Heartbeat thunderous in your ears,
Your sight a hundred-thousand incandescent lights,
Unseeing and all-seeing at the same time.

This is wrath.
The kind that stills your hesitations,
And scrapes away all your inhibitions,
Making you feel infallible.

This is not anger.

This is anguish.
You have shattered pieces of me,
irreparably.

Because this heartache is never-ending.

I loathe that this woe festers in my bones,
I loathe that i continue breaking myself for you,
Every time i feel this sorrow.



Haven't I given enough of myself?

It may no longer pour when it rains
but with the drizzle
still comes veined creeks
moving in the same places
where raging rivers once eroded me
Time may not heal all wounds, but it dulls the pain

Your love remains
In the empty space around me
Long after you are gone

I talk to the emptiness
And sometimes
You still feel as tangible as you did before
Knowing all the honeyed things you would reply
And all the tender touches you would give
If you could

So I continue my conversations with the silence
And find solace in the way you linger
I miss you

Salacious words
can't help but fall from the slick of my tongue
and my shame has had all that it can take
cut off my tongue and take my mind with it

I always knew you would be my undoing.

I thought you were a blank piece of paper

because i never bother to look
i never bothered to understand

that i might just be a page in your story
but that is not all you are
my view of you was one dimensional

i could never fathom the width or the weight of your tome
worn by gentle hands
and tattered by those who took you for granted
like me
life is a book of many pages

What does it take to be righteous?
To loose the weight of your sins?
In knowing there is no atonement?

Because god may forgive,                                                                            
But my conscience does not                                                                        
If my guilt held me responsible,
Are my convictions what they claim?
Or just a way to punish me?
