Thunder storms bring rain,
That makes the sky black.
Snowstorms bring hail,
That hurts my back.

My knees creak and snap
they didn't used to be that way
The weather, wet and cold
Snap, crackle pop, those days


Sub zero temperatures,
Blazing, fierce heat.
How I manage to still live,
Is a pretty sick feat.

Life is measured in time
in strength and determination
while standing in the fallout line
the doorway, to damnation


The weaker die off,
The stronger stay alive.
Tis the survival of the fittest,
Where only the best may thrive.

*Forgotten are the heroes
who don't reach their hands down
to pull up the weakest
so, none of us will drown

I came back to you to right all the wrong. My heart was left somewhere along the path now abandoned too long.. I thought it could be found on my way back. But after it all it's my dignity I lack. I was made to believe it was all my fault and these issues could be fixed. In my mind I knew the truth, in my heart my emotions mixed. We were doomed to detonate right from the start. I knew it in my mind. I refused it in my heart. It was years ago since I felt this passion which blinded me so. I wanted to stay, even though I knew it was time to go. It wasn't your orders to leave or spiteful words. It was the fact that it wasn't me, It was him you preferred. I gave you my everything. I gave you all my time. To you it was nothing. To you this is just a rhyme. I need to stay strong and show you I can do the same. As much as you've led me to believe. It wasn't me to blame. I came back everytime knowing how I'd feel. I just wanted reassurance that your bittersweet love was real. The length of us was due to my submission. But once again I'd been replACEd. He was the previously new edition. Compare him to me all you wish, you will never find what you seek. If it's me you truly want, but find it easier with him our relationship has reached it's peak. It's cruel to say I kept trying, while you left me on a limb. A spark I used to see so bright has now become so dim. I can't explain why you feel this way, I cant understand it either. My love for you, my craving for you, the pain is not worth neither. If you couldn't see I would've caught stars for you, then this is the unfortunate end. In all those months all I wanted to hear is that I was your best friend.

I was never enough.

Warm waters beckon me
Dipping toes then belly, filling nose
Soft world muted and gentle
Drown me in lore of lovers past
and unknown

Ask yourself:
"Could she be loved without the need to wither her leaves?"

My time is not meant for those who pretend to know me because they have seen an untanned patch of my skin
Do not etch me into your wooden bedpost as another tamed *****

Titles are not awarded for time served
and ***** licked in fits of feverish lust
Not your girlfriend barely a friend
Do you even remember why I was crying last august?

death is so near to me
How could you ever love
something so dark?

I can smell the bones of my ancestors

Brown hands in brown Earth
Assimilate this broken soul
into ground from hence it grew
Perhaps death will be pleasant
The first time I acknowledged death as a companion and not a nuisance

I am a frayed edge
Unraveling past the seam binding me
Multicoloured threads peeling away
I pray you see me
for the tapestry I used to be

My writing is strained, these days
I bite my thumb
And try to refrain from penning your name
But see
Even now I've given in

It seemed
She would leave her palms up
For anyone
these days
clenched fists convey a different message
