I use to know  
is long gone
dripped off
the blade ‘s
first stroke
blood stains
never  washed
away
just covered
with  steel.
My husband's unexpected  death changed me on so many levels , irreversible  changes that  made  me who I am today.  Some  awful, some   I had to implement  to survive  .
So very long we have sat together, you and I.
It has become apparent that you care so
Little about small talk or discourse or
Even interacting with me at all outside of your own convenience.
Now, after all these months, I analyze and wonder: Do you even
Care at all about me? Or have I simply existed
E*phemerally to you all along?
Where are the men of honor?
The men still willing to fight?
For their ladies, for love, and for God up above
Where are the noble knights?

Where are the men who see value
In a fair day of hard work?
Who come home at night to play with their kids,
and kiss their faithful wives?

Where are the men who aspire
to fill Justice's mighty shoes?
To fight and defend, no matter the cost
Men who'd die to do what is right
I am a wax wife
a parallax
a displacement of his
true love.
My position of wife
is viewed from
two lines of sight,
his and mine.
Our views are skewed
yet we remain
the same.
I'd like to relax in
His arms
as a flesh and bone
solid woman.
But, knowing you're
one of the ranks
rankles, causes
jealousy and hate
makes me want
to plant
an axe
in his head.
Time to smooth the
cracks in the wax.

sometimes i wonder
if the world i live in
is one i made up in my head
that exists only for me

and if that’s true
i don’t mind
because the world i’ve created
is filled with madness
but the best madness i’ve created for myself
is you

Bloodshot eyes, and a lopsided smile...
Apparition of the unholy night;
You grinned at me;
like we're partners in crime.
You  traversed the innards of my mind,
through  catacombs, where deathly secrets lie;
Like you know,
we could be sinners ; and raise hell together,
Or esoteric saints,  levitating to nirvanic realms together,
Like you know..
we conspired to be strangers in this life,
In another world,;
we could spawn sweet mayhem together.

It knocked on the door like an
unwanted friend

There was no escaping it

The sadness was back

And this time

You weren't here

To

Save me
We as humans, are nothing without time.
Clocks tell it and meetings are set by it.
And that is the one fatal flaw within humanity.
Man possesses one thing no other species or organism will ever have.
And that is,
The fear of
Running out of time.
