Jena T Feb 2020
Wrender and wrought
I've torn this world apart.
This was never my heart
It's long left me for a better part.
Jena T Feb 2020
A willow tree
Breathes and shakes
Speaking wisdom in its quakes
A child waits for it to speak
From a story she long awaits.
A willow grove
Listen to the leaves that blow
Whispers from the old,
A child waits,
For a story that she believes.
Jena T Feb 2020
Frankincense, Myrrh, and spice
Scents of home taken from my mind
Salty seas, hills, and olive trees
Sights of home, scattered around
A home long gone
Taken away in time and war
All but in my mind
Let me close my eyes,
And I'll breathe one last time
Take me to another time,
So when I open my eyes I won't cry.
Jena T Feb 2020
Say something sweet
To take the pain away
You drink tonight to forget
Just a moment of this life
But my blood isn't sweet
My heart doesn't skip a beat
I'll look you in the eye
I won't flinch or deny
I gaze at life in a strange way
Jena T Feb 2020
I walked for miles,
Before miles even were
Love me now,
While I'm home
Because one day I'll turn to stone
I beg to go
But life has cursed me so,
To wander this world alone
Wondering how I came to be
In a world that has turned its face from me.
Jena T Feb 2020
I have a fear
Of something real
And something dear
No matter the lies I tell it's clear,
I hurt and so I fear,
A stranger who nears
It's love I fear.
Jena T Feb 2020
I
Watch
The dirt shift
With blood and silt
Lit by a crimson dusk
Setting sun on fallen hate
Of all we lost and once made
Circular madness of life's final wait
Our sins writhing under midnight sun
Alone
I came
With haste
After long battle
In yesterday's play
With nothing to show
But a single hollow grave
Of all I was in love and hate
Wearing a mask of my making
Wondering why none see beyond
The very thing that brought us here
Ashen fields are calling out our names
Gehenna awaits
