  Dec 2017 Anthea

I may
be soft
but at least
I’m not
afraid
of my own
skin.
Anthea Dec 2017
He was my peach
My plum
My one true love
He jerks away his shoulder from my resting head
He's cold
Like his open window in November
The wind blows through me
He indulges my cherry heart
With sweet nothings tainted
And turns around to slap my hand
Remind me
How ugly I truly am
My peach
My plum
My one true love
The smell of mandarin lingers in the hallway
His smile comes to caress my cheek
It hurts my head
His Gemini spirit
Taunts me
This unavailable heart of mine
That's his

There was a picture of him
In my brain
Where his smile shined
And his aura felt purple like violets

Calm and safe
A gentle summers breeze
He made me feel young and innocent

There was a picture of him
In my heart
Where his eyes were empty
And his aura felt hostile and violent

No longer the man I knew
A stranger in my home
He made me feel anxious and dissonant

There was a picture of her
In my soul
Where her hair blew in the wind
Where her heart lived in peace
And her aura felt purple like violets

That girl was me
Anthea Dec 2017
Finally, peace
Happiness
Trust
Someone I can relate to
Maybe even love
Respect
For now...
He breaks my cherry heart
Over and over again
They always do
Fathers, brothers, lovers, friends
I'm tired of being hurt
Over and over again
All men disappoint me in the end
Anthea Nov 2017
My unknowing heart
Untrusting mind
A future as uncertain as the wind
She speaks too much
I learned too young to never get my hopes up

What will become of me
My tornado of disappointment
It ripped all the flowers from my garden
I need a future as certain as the tides
But I rarely go to the ocean

All the petals that fall from your mouth form a pipe dream
The dead end tunnel I reside in
I built a little garden at my feet
Ill try and use the new petals to build a way out
Anthea Nov 2017
His name is a compulsion
It's his name that comes to the tongue first
Was it love?
I used to think so but probably not
Love isn't suppose to crumble so suddenly
I am embarrassed by it now
I wish I had kept quiet
Let myself go up in flames and down in ashes
Because now the humiliation is too much to bare
Why do I only love him when I am sad
Why does my depression cause me to gravitate to him with such need for comfort
I don't love him
I love the distraction that comes with him
I never loved him
I loved the idea of him
