Voiceless
Virtuous Sep 2018
If I had no flesh
Would you take my heart?
If your fingers couldn't search my body
Would you search my soul?
If my lips couldn't reach yours
Would my name still be written on your heart?
If I had no voice
Could you hear me crying out your name?

Fires Breath
Virtuous Jan 2019
Your voice has many tongues
And yet they all sound the same
Cunning and destructive
Strategic with its aim

Arrows lit with your breathes fire
Quenched by waters truth
No longer threatened by the flame
No longer afraid of you

I see you hidden
Behind the faces of many familiar
Your plots are exposed
All of them too similar

One Rose
Virtuous Apr 2014
One Rose-so many meanings
Watch the petals fall like time
Marking everyday, every hour, every second
That draws closer to his future
Being written out in permanent ink
To forever mark his destiny
Unless love can look past his face
And rewrite the next chapter in his life
The pen called love
Yet who is the penholder
Her name is Beauty
Beauty and the Beast

Fruit
Virtuous Aug 2015
Why blame Eve for eating the fruit?
We all have our temptations that is the truth
Everyone's is different and appeals to their own interests
It only takes one bite to lead to pain and sickness
Each one has its own color and shape
Distracts its victim from what's truly at stake
Hanging from the tree in all of its glory
One wrong choice can change the whole story
Smells so good you can almost taste it
It's to the point where you can no longer face it
Without bringing it up to your lips
All the warnings so easily dismissed
Please...Take a moment and think
It's your soul your deciding to throw away or keep
One moment of satisfaction is not worth it
There is more to that fruit under the surface
Believe my word; don't try to find out
And take a bite out of doubt

Numb
Virtuous Sep 2018
It was loud
So
Very
Loud
The wind pushed me to the ground
As it howled like a pack of wolves in the night
Ready to hunt and devour its prey
It was cold
So
Very
Cold
The rain flooding down
Sending a chill through my frail skin
And straight to my even more fragile heart
It was dark
So
Very
Dark
So real that I could FEEl it
Hovering over me
Waiting for me to break
But I'm not so easily taken
It was terrifying
So
Very
Terrifying
The only thing louder than this storm
The beating of my heart
Like drums of war
Pacing themselves
Faster
And
Faster
Until ...
It stops
All coming to a screeching halt
Turns out the only thing I feared more than the storm
Was complete and numbing silence
A ringing in my ears
And haze over my eyes
Everything is black and white
Void of color and sound
Im not cold or scared
Im not anything at all
Is this what it feels like to go numb?
I used to battle depression and at one point went numb. This is how I know how to explain the feeling best. I'm in a much better place now. And I like to let people know that there is hope and a light at the end of the tunnel. Push through and keep fighting <3 and when needed ask for help.

People
Virtuous Mar 2014
Why do we treat people
Like some are worth more than others?
How long will it be before we discover
That no one is more special than another
Everyone has something that is unique to them
Tell me when will this prejudice end?

How many Times?
Virtuous Aug 2015
One, Two,
Ya that's cool
Three, Four,
What's that for?
Five, Six,
I'm feeling sick
Seven, Eight
How many times can a heart break?

A heart can only break so many times
Before it gives up and wants to die
The Pain is something
that can hardly be described

Dear Rotting Heart
Virtuous Jun 2014
Dear rotting heart...
Did you really think sweet perfume could hide where you've been?
Or that a veil could possibly shield your sin?
Your scars need tending to
You were at one point whole
But something has happened to it
Pierced your soul
Is it all that bad to be made new again?
Or are there other things you wish to attend?
Is it worth it?
The end

Poetry
Virtuous Oct 2018
It used to flow out of me
Pouring
What seemed to be a never ending abundance of words
Each one a window to my fears hopes and dreams
My pen would fly through the pages with ease
Unfolding all that I carried
Deep inside my soul
An outlet for the things that were oh so painful
But my pen
Has seemed to run out of ink
Suddenly so hard to clearly think
I write
I write
And I write again
I don't even know how to give this poem
An end

Run Run
Virtuous Jun 2014
Run Run
But you can't hide
From the very thing luring inside
Close your eyes
But you can still see
What is not setting you free
Cover your ears
But you can still hear
The sorrow of your destruction
Open our eyes, take a stand
Enough of these interruptions

Come and Go...
Virtuous Sep 2018
Seasons come and seasons go
So do people...
Or so I've been told
Year after year
It's become inevitably clear
That this couldn't be more true
No longer will I see this as an issue
I embrace what comes
Or in this instance what leaves
I've accepted the facts and made my peace
391 · Sep 2015
Wisdom's Crown
Virtuous Sep 2015
It comes at a price
It comes at a price I say
If only someone would just take it from me
Even if it was just for a day
The weight is too heavy
It's pushing me to the ground
I feel so small and empty
Someone take this crown
It's a great thing to have
I will not lie
But it can be a burden at times
To see what it reveals
To share or conceal
To always see things in a different light
To have a different opinion on life
390 · Sep 2018
Not Your Fault
Virtuous Sep 2018
It's not your fault

So please ... don't blame yourself
And know that it's ok to ask for help
Words may leave you feeling wounded
That your sad, pathetic, and stupid
Take no heed
Those degrading thoughts you don't need
I know that it hurts coming from the person
That you thought you could trust the most
But now is not the time to lose your self esteem and hope
What they say has more to do with them
Then it ever had to do with you
Making you feel like a failure no matter what you say or do
Do not...I repeat...Do not
Let someone else's insecurities and issues
Run your esteem into the ground
Let you fall and stay down  
You're worth more than you know
Time to get up and reach your full potential
Now go!

My reality
Virtuous Mar 2014
I like to imagine a world
Where flying is no problem
And I can dance across the sky
Where my possibilities come alive
Where I can speak to all living things
And everything is more than it seems
Where music is constantly in the air
And everyone goes about life without a care

Untitled
Virtuous Sep 2019
I don’t seem to have the words anymore
Maybe my tears can replace the ink
But tears don’t create sentences
Is it really only by words that we speak?
Have you ever looked into someone’s eyes
And known exactly what was going on through their mind?
If One can’t be heard
Then maybe they can be seen
I feel like I’m mourning
A piece of me
So can my tears replace the ink?
Or perhaps my blood?
But what will I use
Once those are done?

Have drifted off to sleep
Waiting

Faith
Virtuous Jun 2014
They say that Faith
Is taking the first step
Even when you can't see the rest
Of that staircase
Faith is when you believe
Even when you can't see
Its when you do
Even though its not yet proven true
Its standing high and strong
When your legs don't have the strength at all
Faith is the substance of things hoped for
The evidence of things unseen
Its the reason that I am redeemed

Today...
Virtuous Mar 2014
Today...
A Soul has died yet another is born
For every end a beginning is ready to soar
A season comes and fades away
Another springs forth to take the day
Somewhere out there someone is breathing their last
And another has not yet known a past

Head in the clouds

Million pieces

Shattered into a million pieces
I can't seem to pick them up
Whenever I so much as try
I end up getting cut

The Window
Virtuous Oct 2014
Staring Down
Squinting my eyes
Trying so desperately to see outside
So many colors fading into shades of grey
I can no longer determine the time of day
Am I doomed to reality only being a guess
I need to know! No longer feel depressed
I pick up a hammer and shatter the glass
The glass that represented my past
The past that wanted to blur out my future
356 · May 2018
The Depths
Virtuous May 2018
With the heart of a mermaid
And love for the sea
I was created to explore...
The depths of life and meaning
The depths of identity
And of the soul
So I dive
Unaware of what I'm searching for
And yet so ready to find it
353 · Mar 2014
Dreams
Virtuous Mar 2014
I close my eyes
And escape to a world
Where the possibilities are endless

Heart Breaker
Virtuous May 2018
"What's it like being  heart breaker?" He asked
" I don't know you tell me... You broke mine" I replied.

My Beloved
Virtuous Mar 2021
Counting down the hours
Till I can see your face again
This love I have for you is strong
The mind could hardly comprehend
I must say I’m not a fan
Of the time we spend apart
Beloved you constantly consume
My thoughts and my heart
I belong to my Beloved
And he belongs to me
I could gaze into your eyes
Infinitely
Not just because of their beauty
Which cannot be matched
Except by your soul
Which to mine is attached
I’m in love with my Husband
348 · Apr 2014
One Fear
Virtuous Apr 2014
One fear-that ruled her life
That caused her to be isolated and out of sight
To bring harm to the ones she loved
To never reverse what she has done
The one thing made her unique
Caused pain in her heart so deep
Not being able to except who she is
Or allow anyone to come in
In protecting family
She gained understanding
That love is the key to a frozen heart

Three Years
Virtuous May 2018
Three Years...
It's been three years
Since Ive seen your face
I hardly think of you now
But every so often
When your name
Is found in my thoughts
I miss you
And I have a question for you
I was too afraid to ask before
But something shifted
As the days turned into weeks
And the months turned into years
And I wonder
Who this person is that I am going to meet
When our paths cross again
Time changes a person
But I hope we still share some things
That will connect us again
And if not
At least we have the memory
345 · May 2014
Dancing through the sky
Virtuous May 2014
The wind dances through the sky
You can see it through the leaves
It never truly dies
Just silent for a minute or three
As powerful as a storm
As soft as a cloud
It roars and it howls
Have you ever heard such a beautiful sound?
343 · Dec 2014
Shades of Grey
Virtuous Dec 2014
What is my dream?
Quite frankly I don’t know any more
As I watch logic and reason close that door
Dreams that were once so real
Someone had the nerve to come in and steal
Imagination and hope as vibrant as the day
Start to fade into shades of grey
The roses are dying
I can hear them crying
I have changed my definition of beauty

Why blame the storm that brings life?
The moon and stars give off their light
Beautiful or boring?
Depends, on which window its seen through
On what one seems to be true
342 · Apr 2014
One Bite
Virtuous Apr 2014
One bite-that's all it took
To fall into an eternal sleep
To pass into a dream so deep
For the revenge to fully take place
Through the apple she so desperately ate
In hope to have a wish come true
But there was only so much she could do
But in the end there was still
A happily ever after
This is the first of a new series of poems I'm doing :) This one is snow white

Do I have Time?
Virtuous Oct 2014
Do I have time?
Or does time have me?
No matter how much I think
I can not see
I can not perceive
This concept beyond myself
339 · Jul 2014
Fear
Virtuous Jul 2014
Fear
is a choice
the absence
of trust
But having faith
In another is a must
Are you really protected
All on your own
Or are you not able to see
Through your heart of stone
You long for it
But you ask yourself
How can one desire
The very thing they fear
That's actually quite
a common thing dear
But you have to choose
To no longer hide
To finally show what is inside
Of you
335 · May 2017
Pretty Words
Virtuous May 2017
Behind every pretty word
Was a secret motive
Until that motive wasn't so secret anymore
All these mind games left me confused and unsure
I tried to play the game to the best of my ability
Until it came at the cost of my peace and tranquility
333 · Jul 2014
The Door with a Voice
Virtuous Jul 2014
A door with the face of gold
Covered with priceless jewels
Opened to discover the paradise Ive been told
Turned out to be a lie to lead me to my doom
Everything with the definition of beauty is fading
The ground giving out from under my feet
The things I love I find myself hating
This cannot be my defeat
The fabric of reality is being torn
The definition of life is meaningless
I should of never opened that door
My vision blurred from all the mist
Another door I hardly gave a glance
Began to call my name with the faintest voice
I told myself I'm done with this dance
He said it was my choice
I gave the door a knock
It flew open wide
in shock
I realized it was my turn to die
And in doing so I live
Not my life but His
I have found reality
The void in my heart filled
With peace I am still

Do You See Me?
Virtuous May 2017
Do you see me?
Or do you see what I can do for you?
Do you see me?
Or do you only see what I'm capable of?
Do you see me?
Or do you see a set of values different from your own?
Do you see me?
Or do you see someone you want to cry to and never want to share a laugh with?
Do you see me?
Or do you see a pretty face and body you want to **** with?
Do you see me?
Or do you see the offensive language I just used?
Do you see me?
Or do you see who I used to be?
Do you see me?
Or do you see who you want me to be?
Do you see me?

Toxic Tea Party
Virtuous May 2018
Come and have a seat
There's plenty to eat and drink
The table set with only the finest
the tea reaching our heads like a virus

Welcome to the Toxic Tea Party
Where sanity exists hardly
Every guest here has a story
Some sad, pathetic and gory
Many of them told to put it away
To live everyday the same
But here you can be anything you want
The acting can finally stop

So pull out a chair and your story we'll hear
You'll find that you're not alone my dear

Have a scone and a sip of our tea
And slowly lose your grip on reality

Pulled the String
Virtuous Jan 2015
Just when I pulled the pieces together
Best I could
You came in and pulled the string
I should of understood
That to trust is never worth the pain
There seems to be more to lose
Then there is to gain
Grabbing my needle and thread
What is the use?
I should just lock it up instead
Hide the key and keep it safe
Like I should of done in the first place

One Chance
Virtuous Apr 2014
One chance
That's all she had
To get a single kiss from a young lad
Before her life came to an end
And she no longer had to play pretend
To be something that she is not
On chance
That's all she's got

R O S E G A R D E N
Virtuous Nov 2018
Could someone show me
Where the Rose Garden lies?
The one that holds such beauty
Never before met by the eye
Many flowers that are being sold
Whether they came from the garden
Is Unknown
Approached by someone
With a stem in hand
Took me a minute to understand
“This Rose is yours”
They said
“And your body I’ll take”
Only to find out
What was offered was a fake
Made to look real
With an agenda
To steal

From me

Crossed paths with another
One who promised the title of a lover
But their rose came with thorns
And now there’s blood on the floor

Could someone show me
Where the Rose Garden lies?
It feels as though I’ve been searching
For a long time

What is love?
Virtuous Jun 2014
Love...What is love?
Is it at first sight?
Does it take time?
Is it the butterflies in your stomach?
Is it magical?
Is it heartache?
Is it hard?
Is it easy?
Unpredictable?
Or is it sacrifice?

Something inside
Virtuous Mar 2014
What is this inside that I feel?
A love that cannot be tamed.
A love that has raptured my heart
A love that has been there from the start
A love so beautiful and pure
A love that is so real and sure
A love that bring me confidence in who I am
I love that makes me understand
That Gods love is so real
315 · May 2018
Illusions
Virtuous May 2018
Oh to be in love with an illusion
Rather than be faced with reality
To be unaware
That the one who occupies my thoughts
And holds my heart
Is a character
As fictional as the ones I read about
To desire something so strongly
That I drink from an empty cup
And tell myself that it’s water
To be infatuated
Rather than in love
A tragedy indeed...

Raging Storm
Virtuous Oct 2018
I see the storm that rages inside of you
I see it in the rain that falls from your eyes
That your so quick to wipe away and hide
I see it in the sudden changes of mood
I hear it in the tone that you use
I know because I’ve had the same storm rage inside of me too

Writer's Block
Virtuous Feb 2016
Flipping through the pages
Of this book
Wishing I could rewrite some of the chapters
That have unfortunately been written in permanent ink
Some of these things are hard to read
Hard to speak
There’s more to this story
Than the cover cares to share

Editing is not an option
New chapters need to be written
But it appears I have writer's block

Don't know how to continue this story
Don't know how to move on
I'm unsure and I'm sorry
But it appears I have writer's block

There's so many directions
That this story can take
I can't seem to think of a single one
Should be easy to make
But it appears I have writer's block

Reality
Virtuous Jun 2014
What is reality?
Just because you choose it to be
Doesn't mean it is
Just because you wish it to be
Doesn't mean it's true
Just because you believe
Doesn't make it real
Yet the same thing could be said
The other way around
Just because you choose it NOT to be
Doesn't mean it is not
Just because you DON'T wish it
Doesn't mean it's not true
Just because you DON'T believe
Doesn't mean it's not real
What is reality?
I know for sure one thing is real and that's my God. #reality #life

Bridge of auburn and crimson
Reaching ever so high and long
In the middle I stand
Both in fear and in awe
Wind blowing profusely
With a loud howl it cries
Beckoning me to make a decision
To step and choose a side
