Is that me?
Is that really me?
That girl in the photo?
The one standing in her power,
Wrapped in chiffon and little else,
Looking confidently towards the future,
With her hands on her hips
And a glint in her eye,
Assertive,
Sassy,
****.
Yes.
That’s
Me!

I loved a girl once
She was everything I ever wished for
She knew how to brighten my days
Knew how to make me smile even when it was hard to beat the frown

I loved a girl once
We took photos and kept them in an album
Each time she was away
I could look at them and imagine she was near

I loved a girl once
She told me she loved me back
Did she?
My jealousy overrode me all the time
My mind was an architect of insecurities
And so each bright day got dark
Like our love flame was out of fuel

I loved a girl once
Yes I loved her
But that love was short lived
She walked away from me and never looked back
For reasons unclear
Only left me with questions
Was it love?
If it was, was it true or fake
Because it withered so fast without the sun even being harsh on it.

What if it came with storm clouds?
Would it matter if I flooded the space between us with tears?
I look back, 20/20 pulling ******* sore edges
Sorry has a place but not here
My fingertips can feel the warmth of your wanting
Pulling away just like my heart did
Slow, methodical, intent to hurt
No amount of what-could-be would turn me
Even now my words are silent yet I do mean their weight
Whether you've got an oar or not is no matter
Shame lapping at your distant shore
At least I did not ghost you, no no
Much worse in my eyes to me
I pulled along a tug boat with a jet engine
Even while you struggled to be free

The mark of a true artist
is simply,
if they are not creating,
they are falling apart

Walking along the sea shore
Twirling my hair
When a guy approaches me
His hair were so smooth
Just like silk....
I thought of him as an aquintance....
We ended up spending the entire noon toghether
He made me feel special.
We decided to meet up for dinner at my fav place
This made me feel special.
It was the perfect night under the moonlight, the perfect ambiance and the perfect man
This made me feel special.
The perfect food that made the night
It was special.
It was tym for goodbye,
The most difficult thing to do,
He hugged me.....
Our eyes met each other
I started to blush,
I think he felt it too,
It was strange,
Some vibe moving in my nerves,
I could not move,
He leaned ahead and kissed good night,
I knew that he was the one,
The special one......
It's been a month yet he is not changed,
This makes me feel special......

NightOwls
I scream out loud
No one hears
it leaves my mouth
light as a whisper
I’m angry
but mostly depressed
no longer able to breathe

Feeling used and abused
I open my mouth again
But nothing comes out
I try again
Coughing up words
As sharp as an arrow
blunt as a pickaxe handle

Blood red as a dying rose
escapes my mouth now
It runs down my throat
next to my beating heart
That no longer
can dance for you
