I gave you my heart, but you’ve painted it blue
With youthful devotion I adored you
In your angel lips and sweet touch I’d boast
Now I am embraced only by your ghost
Nicolette Jul 2022
With divine hands our hearts were sewn together
Mine bound to yours, as if with a fetter
Alas, this sweet love has been torn as the seams
Now all that remains are memories

Six feet under
I still hear you say my name
Six feet under
It feels as though nothing has changed

I shall sit above you
just as I sat at your side
And tell you, "I love you"
Like I did the morning you died

In heaven whilst I am awake
But with me while I dream;
You lay dead during the day
But are resurrected when I sleep

Now to reality
I am enslaved
For when they buried you,
They put my heart in a grave

paper walls
and a cardboard floor
inside I crawl
and close the door

fixing my gaze
on a memory
of better days
just my box and me

a baby bird
fallen from the nest
blood, like honey,
dripping from its breast

there it lays with broken wing
and muddied face
as a heart's broken
and a dream's unlaced

it may not fly yet,
and dirt-caked wounds
take time, but watch
it will rise up soon

why do we become a little less human
when we aren't like the other humans around us?
Nicolette Feb 2021
I am black
I am white
am I still
human despite

the color
of my skin?
is there still
a heart within?

if I am black
am I a queen?
do you owe
an apology?

if I am white
am I racist?
walking around
with social graces

or is worth determined
not by genes,
not by skin,
but something underneath?
