Only at  Hellopoetry,
The heart counts hearts

if i could use
the stars to show my
love for you,
the entire night sky
would not be vast enough
of a canvas.

Look at me;
watch as my body
caves to your
everything.
Your hands are
like a poison
seeping into
my skin,
infecting every
inch of my body.
But please,
continue on,
I won't dare ask
you to stop;
You're easily the
worst, best thing
that's ever happened
to me.
-JRM

Quantum gravity
Big and small or not at all
Stringing us along

A lifeless corpse I lay on the floor.
I shake with fear you might return.
Clothes once on my broken limbs,
lie ripped and tattered on the floor.
Blood runs down my face
a wound from being too loud.
"Shut up! Someone will here you!"
A scream cut short by a blow to the head.
Blurred vision.
In my happy place I pretend that you are my husband and you love me.
Your hot breathe down my spine.
Your hands clutching my innocence.
Holding it above my head.
You've won.
Hazy memories engraved into me forever.
You will always be a family member.
But I will always love you.
Daddy by day.
Monster by night.

Life,

          ****.

Laughter,

          Shovel.

Praise to those
    
      who plug their nose

  and

          Dig.

Everyone does it
Yes, I’m aware
That doesn’t mean you had to
But you don’t seem to care
I remember when you were
My role model
My protector
My partner in crime
It was always
You and me, against time
But now I know
What it is you do
You’ve lost my trust
And confidence too
So I go alone
Down this path called life
As people I knew
People like you
Turn to ash
And blurry puddles
Before my eyes
I feel so small
I can’t tell you what to do
So we drive
And mind the taboo
But I refuse to do nothing
So I simply say
“Don’t die”
Eyes on the road
You say
“I’ll try”
I think of my friends
They changed long ago
They hand me a cup
“Here, swallow”
But it’s not really you
And it’s not really them
These people I knew
Just skeletons
Piles of bones
That beg me to stay
To join them
And start to decay
That’s not me
So I leave
I won’t join your pack
I run from the bones
And don’t look back
How could your pressures
Get a hold of me
When you yourself let go
Winters, summers
So long ago
You made your choice
And it hurts me to see
But I made a promise
And I’m sticking to me
One day you’ll notice
How much you have lost
Only then will you know
The ultimate cost
Yes you will see
In the end I win
And all because
I didn’t give in
