She walks around
with her eyes shut tight,
losing all self respect
Chasing men
who show little interest.

****** herself out
on dating sites,
thinking it makes her matter,
In reality
her life’s falling to tatters.

She can’t see her worth
only their words
seduced by their lies
And games.

It’s all a mirage
an optical illusion
to a deluded mind.

Men may crave some cheap ***
but they have little respect
For women who easily put out.

Oh how I wish we could go back to those days,
Where it was just you and me,
Sitting on the couch watching movies.
Laying in the bed laughing at our past weeks events.
Oh how I miss those summer days,
Where we walked through the fields, just talking,
How I wish we could go back to all that.
I wish it was only me you loved,
I wish it was only me you had always ever wanted.
I wish we could go back to those days.

When the last memory says
I have to remember
all the layers that whisper in these rooms.  
My fingers become blind
to the passing warmth of years
my lips have forgotten
way too soon.

I always knew
the rambling name
of the nights when I smiled
at the voices of the stars.  
This is when I felt the air lingering
inside of a time
when I knew I could stand
where you are.

Faded hours fall
from my childhood scars
like solemn words set fire in streams
to all I speak.  
Still, I accept your arms
and give you all my love,
knowing.......
no breath of mine will sleep.

A knowing is left
like a sound subdued in my ear,  
and I savor the notion
that your words lie underneath.  
I read each line
one more time....until,
the end of us
is a tear
I'll never weep.
