Too simple to mess up.
A narrative:

Thigh aching, body quaking, heart shaking breezes.
Tears can rack your eyes, trembling bones, cold stones
against blue toes.
Summer depression, sunshine heartache, shiny hot hellfire and:
-mourn-...
"mew" The kitten whispers.
Shaking laughter; Who could be sad?
Why did the kitten speak to the dawn?
Again:
Who could be sad at the thought of it, when you're crying out to the world
for a sign of major sorts
and a kitten, meek and small
mewls at the dawn
as you cry?
-------------
To Larry. You're my sign...
-this has been in the works for a while and I've finally decided to post it as it is. Love ya, friend!

How a serious sickness, well...
(Fickle disease, might I add)
It becomes a wall.
A threat beyond any measure of pain previously.
How a serious sickness
Becomes a tease.
An insult.
How it becomes a type of outfit...
A type of look.
How a serious sickness
Kills 4,627 to date
And STILL...


It has become a taste.
It's a knowing!
A pass into society or a card into
The Azkaban of the school hierarchy.
Lord knows how those 4,627 feel
knowing
  That I... AALIYAH                                                      
Am them.
Not in sickness...










But in health.
See, I was groomed MALLET AND CHISEL
To be ugly, a nerd, scary, stupid, clingy, an animal:
You, my love... You were NOT a tease.

And I am sorry. For them. For you.
--------------------------------------------
R.I.P. all who know; Or did, that is.
Coronavirus tribute from the schools of Western Virginia, if you feel me.

Bullying needs to stop. Please. It's LITERALLY killing me. More on that later.







Love me for me...<3
Smothered Divine Dec 2020
The waves crash down
With visible thrusts of movement-
An untouched power in the
MIDSTS OF DECEMBER.
I see them and question what they mean-
And the foamy shores mutter back 'nothing'

The wilted flowers whisper
In the frosted winter air
petals curved and red
Like my nails against your thighs.
I question what they said
But they look away absently.

Though I don't understand these moments
The message these things portray
I still sit on the docks
and watch the water sway.
I still lie in the fields
Letting pollen engrave the time into my spine.



Do you remember my smile, you said it lit up the room.
Or maybe you remember the blush on my cheeks.
The giggle in my throat
Or the way my eyes devoured you.

Maybe you don't.

But I remember your smile, how it lit up my world.
And the flush on your cheeks when I said I love you.
The laugh in your soul, the way your eyes never caught mine.
I remember your fingertips against my own.
And your hair, thick and soft, as if branching to hide your thoughts.

I don't read into these memories, I question them.
I wont get an answer, but I embrace their presence.
Might as well.
Might as well...

When I wake up I’m surrounded by the scent of his skin, the scent of cool rain and grass.
I can still feel the stinging near my spine,
but it's not as overpowering
as the nostalgia of the scents-
It's hard to hate a backstabber
when they were your backbone.
Smothered Divine Mar 2021
The summer he expired was the summer she thought hard
About the Autumn breezes in his hair,
And the Springtime words she locked away.
The winter was cold, yet side by side they flourished.
Pokemon cards and stolen kisses on cheeks.
Tree forts and dance battles.
Makeup and gowns.
Homework and swimming pools-
The life he left behind.

As she thought, she held her face taunt.
Her thoughts escaping through her cracked skin facade.
I asked her today, a year after passing, "do you miss is smile, his laugh, his presence? Does the loss hold grief in it's grip?"

She glanced away then held my gaze, and suddenly I knew the world had churned on.

You wasted over a month
Of the life I never wanted
Making me believe
YOU DID.
Smothered Divine Jan 2020
*** of life, a grip!
Behold all who fall.
Wallowing in their shame, they do.
Watch, self pitiful: They all are.
Slow dancing down the hall, lying on life's shoulder.
Purple hues and white streaks. Health! I'm revitalized.
I awake.
And no longer vital.
Save me, for I've fallen.

Short and Sweet.

Our minds are so morbidly scary
In bouts of silence and dark
That we can imagine death, destruction, blood, A SPARK.

Knives cutting holes in our paper-thin skin,
Kids throwing rocks till their brains turn pulpy,
Bridges rocking and creaking, skin hitting ice,
Smashing our souls on concrete..

It cures a hidden desire, worse than lust or need or want.

And on that note:
The world is turning
And with it, morbid minds.

why is my body the only feature that pulls him in
yet his very presence makes me float and I require no more
Smothered Divine Mar 2020
When you're here I can't breathe
When you're there I can't feel
When you're here I've got will
When you're there I can only seethe
Can't live without you
Can't live with you either
What to do without you?
Tap into my rage feeder
What to do with you?
I swear I wish I knew?
Not my piece, I was simply told to do this poem justice. Full credit to Genie and his works!
Enjoy<3

The refresh button leaves my fingers sore
And my heart disappointed.
Smothered Divine Dec 2020
My hips ache, acting as barriers,
Trying to hold in the pleasure.
Smothered Divine Dec 2020
My brain throbs at the thought of
Getting out of bed.
Smothered Divine Nov 2020
I could not find the words to describe
How your words were falsely unified.
In your brain, you plastered them together-
Hoping to win my heart back.

'I'm Sorry, I love you.'
Verbatim.

'She meant nothing, you mean the world to me.'
Verbatim.

Remember when these words slithered out
The time before,
And the time before that?

And I stand here, yet again like I'm on a loop.
Medusa won a staring contest with my soul
When I walked into our sanctuary and saw your
6" soul haunting her narrow corridor.

The walls shivered, our planets froze.
The starry colours left my sight.
I lost count of the moments between
You moaning 'I love you'
and her scream.

'I'm Sorry, I love you.'
Verbatim.

'She meant nothing, you mean the world to me.'
Verbatim.

I'm losing sleep, missing pieces.
I cannot do anything but change it all.
The life we lived
Is a life I must continue to live-
Not as us. But as Me.


I dropped my paint and let it splatter-
Our once white walls are now splotched pink
and light blue.
Periwinkle and Bumble bee yellow.
Magenta and Orange-red.

MY WALLS SCREAM MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE-

---
Our sheets are now my sheets-

But I hate the 100% cotton comforts
where we rolled and kissed and slept.

Where SHE arched HER back and came to me crying in the doorframe.

So I pour 3 fingers of whiskey as the ashes consume those thoughts.
I let the flames burn the grasses, dry the land, warm my heart.

MY sheets are pastel pink with white lace accents.

----
Our home became mine and our **** became mine and our hearts stayed yours.
I am a cigarette ****, scathed, warm in mother nature's soil.
I am a rose ripped to petals left to trail the way to something.
I am warm milk at the end of the bottle that the child cannot drink.
----

-I am soaking up the sun today-
-And for once, I am Okay-
-And I'm so glad you're gone-
----

♡I'm Okay♡
Kind of an aftertaste, a bit bitter, a bit storyline.
A postscript type sequel to one of my previous poems.
Leave a comment if you can guess which one,
And if you guess right let's do a collab.
Smothered Divine Mar 2021
Soft warm waves rocking slowly against my calfs.
Soothing my pale and cracked lips, sweet and cool.
And where were you when I offered off sips
Of this magical liquid-
Where were you?
Were you sleeping in your bed
or
Were you resting in her head?
Does it matter?
I suppose not.

Harsh, icy waves stabbing my thighs. Neck. Head.
Choking my lungs, salting my lips, pulling me lower and lower still.
And where were you?
No chance to pull you down with me,
But you do what you gotta do-
Lips blue, eyes red.

You did, you left me for dead.
Where were you?
Smothered Divine Aug 2020
How can I express a feeling,
Be it happy or sad,
That you yourself will never feel?
Because, well...
I am mental and I am me.
You are you, through and through.
Smothered Divine Feb 2023
If this is Earth, what is Heaven?

May space and time come upon us,
Give me guidance in times of need.
Experience shaping sight,
I beg for forgiveness
you once promised me an eternity
for as the hour draws near
I see my ending

A scarred heart
A scared mind
What is Heaven if not our finite time on Earth?
A question I find myself wondering often.
Smothered Divine Jun 2020
My world is whispering
PRAYERS
For every lost soul
I could not
TOUCH,
Because I was
SO
Lost myself.
Smothered Divine Feb 2020
Feel...
Exultant.
Although it may be hard,
That's okay.
Happiness will come tomorrow;
Endings will come and go.
Remember what I've told you here: Let your happiness flow.

Be a feather.

Word of the day: Feather.
--------------------------------------------------------­----------------------
Dedicated to Mikey Kania. Happiness seems to always be with you...
Keep it up!
Read the first letter of each sentence. Smile and be okay.

A field of vibrant, tall sunflowers.
Subtle rays of light filtering through the Autumn leaves.
Stalks of fallen hay, freshly harvested.
Ice clinking in a glass of tea on a hot summer’s day.
The gentle thrumming of guitar strings to a song I’ve yet to learn.
Shaunie’s laugh at even the smallest things; So vibrant and bold.
The SpongeBob ice creams from the ice cream truck on boiling days.
Biting into a sugar-coated lemon, the sour burst paired with lemony sweetness.
The lasting taste of a Sprite on my lips as I trace those old back roads.
Settling into the warm grass; Florida sun beating down on my skin.
The cool night’s air whirling against me as I ran home.
My cat’s fur as she curled up in the crook of my spine, the sun creeping through the window.
Yellow rejuvenates our souls, stirring up the old.
Smothered Divine Oct 2019
Inhaling clouds to excuse your lies;
High erupts in a fog of shattered and false hopes but only I,
and I am lonely as a drop of rain before the connect,
can hope to revive a high of shattered happiness.
Drop, cut, swoop down from your
pedestal of Narc and join society
before your shattered high of lies destroy your face and cut down your faith.
Join me before you bleed all your blood and fall(DOWN); In a heap you’ll lay.
Decay.
You’re destined to decay.

Smashing bricks, walls we built around us.
Gaurd our emotions! Before they are seen!
Don’t let us be discovered as damaged goods without a receipt-
Don’t let us be tossed...
I like coffee black and tea white as paper,
creamy misconceptions
and soul-shaded wake-up calls.
------------
I'm tired
