The flower of love I will let go//
to unfold in the wind//
to blossom elsewhere//
All has been said//
None have been true//
Walls and towers built//
over a hundred wood crosses//

Flowing velvet worn to rugged//
Snatched away by life and death//
this doesn't feel like home anymore//
this isn't my home//
Desperation holds the nostrils shut//
& ***** the air out of our lungs//
We settle for none// and love even less//
//On love and relationships//

Wait for it
The wind that blows down from the mountain
Wait for it silently
To refresh your soul
In the wind there is a voice
A whisper at most
What it says is unknown
But what it means is wholly understood

Don't **** with me
It's not a safe bet
I'm probably
The craziest Poet
You ever read
My words condemn
I rhyme unkind
I've sold my soul
Far too many times!
As for love
I have failed
So many losses
A survivor of hell
But...
If by some off chance
You stop by my page
And take a glance
Keep in mind
With tongue in cheek
I like to dance!

Oh my!!!
I do believe this could be it!
Nothing short of the end....
Some people will break
Others will bend
Guns and bombs
Shall shake our souls
The psychopaths
In our midst
Shall play their roles
If you don't believe me
Watch the News
They're coming for everybody
They're coming for you
Time to wear that
Bulletproof vest
Don't be a fool
This life is a mess!

God the taste was foul, bitter bile that didn't even come up all the way.

It just sat there in the back of my throat,
Burning out even more unspoken words.

"This isn't like me," I say to the reflection as I hover over the toilet.

"No, this isn't my life. This isn't me"
My mind can't even wrap around everything I did,
Everything I said.

The acid from my stomach could never be punishment
When compared to the torment inside my heart.

I know all too well
How useful "sorry" is
When it comes to making amends.

Not Very.
I'm sorry.

a sigh will suffice
despite the noise i wish to say
heaviness holds the words down
so silent memories will have to do

Some days I still have to count the days

Solemn and dignified I let the devil reach inside
To twist everything up with his twisted lies
Honey placed on my lips but a knife in my side
I let him slide past as he let me backslide
"I'm done with his lies" I lie to myself
Unless that lie is from him I can't tell anymore
Lines are so blurred like lines from tear stained poems
They're never good enough and I want to throw them
and throw up
Cuz I've never shaped up to the man I make myself out to be
It seems the seams of my dreams gets ripped apart by reality
My reality is I have no control and that scares me
Cuz holding on means safety
and I can't safely let go of things I'm too scared to fall
Let me talk myself out of this please
Reach inside and twist these lies
Just one more time

Open the cuts on my soul again//
to make sure the pain hurts the way I remember it//
Darling it's all I have left//
You a̶r̶e̶  were my addiction//

I tried to erase y̶o̶u̶  it but I just//
scratched the vinyl & carved your name on the walls//
so I'd never forget but//
always need//
//On her//

If you would just talk to me
I have words
but
I don't think they're worth speaking
Poetically muted, I'm on pause
Take a breath
Take a second
It's fine
I'm fine
Just a normal response
to my love
Is to become
Discarded
