Dacotah Ashes Feb 2022
swallowing honey won't make the glass shards go down easier
honey's still got a sting that sings
when it meets open sores
can't heal when honey drips from my lips
sugar can't make sweet what needs to be blunt
Dacotah Ashes Feb 2022
Between us I hoped
there was a cavern of silence
begging to be touched
by the sound of sorry
falling from your lips

But instead there is a glass wall
devouring rage and hurt
hurled from my throat
While you stand still
A smile on your lips

uncover your disguise

And they’re flooding my fears

As if the light will save them
Dacotah Ashes Apr 2018
flowers wither and fall
from the wall
they dissipate into the
shadows as if they
never existed at all
Dacotah Ashes Feb 2018
I scooped out everything that hurts
and shoved it behind the wall
So now all I'm doing is
bouncing these shallow thoughts
off the wall and out the window
no longer plagued by nostalgia
perhaps I can feel the silence
and revel in this emptiness
Dacotah Ashes Jan 2018
breathing silence into fragments
feeling incomplete perhaps
I should smash what’s left
