Sacred
IP Oct 2022
Long sacred
It now is unguarded
A sacred discarding
With allies now caving
I ask in this world
Is our nation worth saving?

The fight
IP Aug 2021
When I lay in my sheets
Still searching for sleep
I'm confronted
a fight from the gaping the deep
succumb to seduction, both tasty and cheap?
will I fall?
will my sleep still be shameless and sweet?

Beautiful Soul
IP Nov 2015
I can still feel your eyes
Disregard my defenses
I wondered how much you could see
How far to the inside of me
You were innocent, but deep.
...Sacred

Trust
IP Nov 2015
It can be cold
Ice cold.
Like snow.
So its hard not to trust the warmth
That some handshakes exude
But the cold that ensues,
can..
Freeze your inner organs solid

Passing Bye

dearly departed,
this is a word from the brokenhearted.
you slipped away
as was your right
but the ghost you left behind
still lingers in my mind..

I Opened Up

I opened up so you could see
a broken piece of my humanity

Paint me
IP Jan 2016
understand me
see..
the curve of my cheekbones underskin
the relax of my shoulders
as I exhale and..
I don't ask for perfection.
but try..

Carnivore
IP Dec 2018
I understand your taste for meat
But is your thirst for blood so cheap?
Your hunt so deep?
Your drop so steep?
So absent is your love for me?
You'd feast on your own family?

Infatuation
IP Aug 2021
I loved you with a thousand words
your photo was enchanting
I wish my love returned to me
to free my soul from panting

So disconnected
how I feel
nothing I loved was ever real

anxious
IP Dec 2015
anxious,
i shifted my weight
from foot to foot.
worried that
a mistake on my part
could cost the piece of your heart,
that I never had.
i should have realized
that love is unconditional..
or at least
less conditional than that.

Sorry But True
IP Mar 2017
I wasted so much time on you
the way I idolized
it's  true
and now,
I actually
kind of regret you

God
IP Oct 2022
God
I saw your beauty,
majesty
I was beside myself
with the deepest envy...
I wanted
the light that shined with you
the life that shook them with laughter...
And I found...some of it

my eyes x-rayed you as a stranger
as you were one
I knew I should give you a chance
But my heart refused to budge

unemployed
IP Aug 2021
should i sob?
my attempts are not working
i tried to find jobs
and should i keep searching?
what i do on this earth
never seem to be working
as day after week,  my depression, it worsens.
there are things that i dream
that I long to be free of
i try as
the blade
reaches deeper and deep in

Idols
IP Feb 2018
I idolized you.
my idle lies
don't begin to explain away
the way I explained away
the way you walked away
though I know you are not
what I say
though eyes close
I cannot push you away

Typical
IP Mar 2017
I'm not surprised
not disappointed.
though at the time the knife felt pointed
temporarily
but it taught me
if I love, do it responsibly

Judgement
IP May 2016
you haven't lived my life
and you certainly haven't died my death
so
I can't take your judgment seriously
not me
348 · Feb 2017
Assumptions
IP Feb 2017
I'm so much more
than what they see
who judge
based on the little
that they think they know
of me.

Step Back
IP Mar 2017
You say "I love you"
it feels much like hate..
and with all this distance
how can we relate?
but did you love me...
before you left me in this state?

accepted
IP Feb 2021
i sent applications
flooded your mailbox with prayers
would you accept me?
i would've jumped through any hoop
i've always wanted to be a gymnast
but my performance was never good enough
so, tired,
i knocked on the door
and you opened it,
just because you liked me

Magic doesn't exist
IP Mar 2019
I trusted you
I should have trusted what I knew
things don't get better
they never do
never have before
why have hope anymore?

Disease
IP Mar 2021
I trusted you
If anyone else did what you do
Not only would I erase them from my view
I'd undo any knot that tied us too
I gave you eons of loyalty
but I don't love you
not like I used to
I trusted you
not knowing the voodoo you'd do
181 · Mar 2018
You
IP Mar 2018
You
from the faint
i remember the way that you walked
and my mind oft repeats how it thinks you would talk
but still..
though I see other faces
it's  you that i stalk

for each misstep and mistake..?

That magic that enchants you in another

I Forgot
IP Feb 2018
Rushing,
feverishly flipping
through the empty folders of my mind
I search for that memory
that never happened

Simply the Worst
IP Mar 2019
Those who in past years,
I revered
left me in tears
were
more cruel
than I'd have ever imagined..
I lost respect (for them)
the way a dying person loses blood..

Another day
Another try
Another failure
My heart is dead

too late
IP Feb 2020
though for years I have tried to be kind
even nice
my tears have been frozen
my blood is like ice
its too late for the words
wish you'd long ago said
the part of me that they'd appealed to is dead

Branches
IP Feb 2021
The leaves flew away when the cold wind blew
I wasn't entertaining enough.
The branches seemed okay,
We walked as we talked
And we lived.
I thought we had something...
I went out on a limb and they snapped.
The cold wind blew
And before I knew
What was left to grasp?
Was anything sturdy?
And then came the root.
But by then I could not trust
Even what I knew to be true
I met You..
As the (cold) wind blew

In silence,
I suffer

Discipline
IP Feb 2020
From one art and yet to another I've drifted
My mind has completely entirely shifted
but maybe to something that's not in my gifting
