sorry
Juanita May 2023
I didn’t look after my body
and now she’s bruised
pained and weeping
reflecting my disfigured heart

pruned
Juanita Sep 2021
your fragile flesh weeps
but even your blood soaked tears
cannot stain, steel with a conscious
your branded with your sorrows

but one day
you’ll grow new skin
because your disfigured heart still dreams
and your soiled scars will soar into stars

beaten hearts
Juanita Dec 2020
now the sky is blue
just last night you were my muse

as our feet left this earth
we shared a dance with the moon

hearts beat to their own worlds
then the ocean’s waves spelt
I love you

yet now
our stars have soared into scars

my lover
Juanita Sep 2020
such a beautiful monster
my lover is
he haunts me
with his cruel hands yet soft touch
he torments me
then
he adores me
at times I fail to tell the two apart
such a beautiful monster
my lover is

Regret
Juanita Jan 2020
An empty canvas
I once was
Clear, pure and yet to be discovered
I desired the simple touch of paint
And envied the true essence of colour
But
When the day finally came
I wasn’t painted
Beautifully
Yet invaded
Brutally
By the darkest shade of misery.

Endless
Juanita Jan 2020
Travel to the loneliest
Part of my mind
So dark
That it’s hard to see the light

There lives
The hope I once cherished
The dreams I once adored
And the pain I fear
Cannot be escaped.

Tormented
Juanita Oct 2019
The hatred that lives to burn within me
Is ever so intoxicating
That it will soon become a flame
And one a reflection
Of the demons I once but all captured
Yet, now threaten to break free
Only to ignite a sorrowful fire
I fear water cannot tame.

Tonight
Juanita Aug 2019
Tonight is the night
When I tell you
My truth,
My truth is my love
My truth is my sorrow
My truth are the tears
That fall off of my face,
My heart is in ache
For all it’s ever known is pain
Tonight the scars will be on display
While my eyes paint
A picture of dismay,
As this feeling of void
Has become too hard
To avoid.

Flower
Juanita May 2019
She was a delicate flower,
That had yet to be picked.
He was the vicious wind,
That torn away all her petals.
Her happiness soon became
the victim
Of his gusty blows
Now,
There’s nothing left
For her to show

Lost
Juanita May 2019
I’m ever so confused
Never do know what to do
So alone
In a world so cold,
I’m just trying
To keep my hold
The more that the days
Go by,
The less that I feel alive
My eyes no longer shine
And maybe the reason why,
Is because
My life is no longer mine.

Blue
Juanita Mar 2019
They say her eyes are,
So blue so beautiful
Like the sky.
But if only
They could see
The ocean
That they become,
As when the tears begin to fall
She drowns.
