Awakened to *******.
A man's misconstrued idea of what a woman needs to do.

His misery, he slowly found comfort. He tried
to **** me into an everlasting hole of darkness
for as long as I can remember. And I refused
to cave.

Never would I diminish the joy in my soul for a man
like you. There is no comfort in mediocrity, better known
as you.

For the last time, I
solemnly swear that I will never give my energy
to a man's wants and needs. I come first.
And I always will.

So sorry for being so MIA. I've been busy with life, lol. I can't wait to get back to sharing my poetry for National Poetry Month.

I don't want you to be broken anymore.
You may say that you aren't but I can feel
the sadness of your soul. The shadows of
your past haunt you because you refuse to
accept what's true. You are scared of what
reality may do to you.  And with every
passing day, the wounds your past left you
with stay a while longer and hurt a bit more.
You have given them no chance to heal.

It seems as if you've forgotten that you're
human, and the universe we live in is out
of our control. Your soul quietly begs for
freedom but always resorts to war. There
isn't a day that I can't sense sorrow finding
comfort in your heart. If I had the power,
I would release every demon and heal
every part that has had their struggle.

I don't want you to be broken anymore.
And  I want you to realize that a closed
mind will never help you escape the
regrets you withhold. I may not be able
to do everything for you, but I've been
listening to your soul's cry. And I
promise that the happiness you once
felt will eventually be restored.

Your hands caress my skin as if I am the most delicate of flowers,
and your mouth retrieves the nectar from within.
You consistently lock eyes with me and express your love so willingly.
That you are so determined to give sweet love to me.
That you promise to do what God intended passionately.
And with that, my temple is yours.
Every motion, every ****** validates this for me.
The rhythm we create arouses me.
You leave marks on the most obvious of places so the world knows you've explored my canvas like Columbus.
Navigating your way from my neck to my inner thigh.
Moments so divine that I still get chills like the coldest day of winter simply thinking of the time we've shared.
And for some reason, you hold my body like you'll never see me again.
Maybe because it's clear that there's someone else.
I know this because at the break of dawn, the only thing I feel with my eyes closed and my naked body buried underneath these sheets with your presence all over me is the warmth of your body disappearing.
Maybe it isn't love. I'll assume that it was never meant to be.
Even with the sweet nothings whispered in my ear and
the vivid memories of you fondling me.
Every single time, you quietly say that you have to go, apologize for the mess you made and you're sorry about leaving.
The ****** escapade you were dying to experience doesn't suffice.
The look in your eyes says enough.
My body you so desperately wanted to see has done no justice if you leave when the sun begins to rise.
I wonder when I will hear the creak from my bedroom door once more, and your heavy footsteps going across my floor.
I wonder if you'll be reminded of how vacant this space has been without you, and how much my body yearns for more rounds with yours.
Sure enough, the next night you realize it was time to start over.
Time to give you exactly what you need.
I guess I confused lust with love making.

The path once traveled with Gemini was filled with
reasons to believe and healing bruised hearts. Praising
our flaws and forgiveness being for ourselves were the
lessons. His name trembled from drunken lips of mine.
I got what I thought I wanted but it seemed as if those
alcohol-filled weekends got the best of me. I loved him
so foolishly, and the fork in the road made me determine
whether he was a stranger or my enemy.

Remnants from a bittersweet past and Sagittarius
beamed with a spirit so bright you could tell he was a
warrior of God. The month of December reminds me
of him. Back then, my once blackened soul entwined
with the magnificence of his heart. And I found him to
be my companion. During our journey, I was shown to
break boundaries and to analyze my soul as an individual.
I experienced the art of becoming, and I give thanks to him.

When winter was no longer the season, new interests
began to bloom and Capricorn came along. He was
in love with power and being in control. He has a heart
made of stone, and he tried to keep his insecurities behind
closed doors. Over a year and some change, his stories piled
up. Lying became second nature to him and the truth came
out in his writing. The rhythm of his music kept him sane
when we dealt with doubt, a love slowly dying, and shutting
each other out. He pretended that my sorrow from love at
first sight gone wrong didn't exist. When I left for Cancer,
he only fought for us because he hated being by himself.

I was swept off my feet by my once upon a time best
friend, and we knew it was happily ever after. The
excitement of us was what we lived for. Cancer let me
explore the most vulnerable layers of his soul. I was
curious to know as to why solitude was what he found
the most comfortable. Little did I know that it would
soon become so deadly. Filled with unspoken expectations,
our love began to grow accustomed to struggling.
Resulting in a shattered bond and one-way heartbreak.

Pisces dreamed of perfection, as did I. And we made
supposed figments of our imaginations reality. Being
the queen to his king, his innocence washed away with
my experience and I made him believe. A force to be
reckoned with, we began changing the minds of the
anti-lovers. They had no idea that time decided to
change things for us. We couldn't put everything in
the entire picture. The madness stemming from the
emptiness in his heart was a call of desperation for
the one I was used to replace. We believed problems
would be impossible but we spoke on that a bit too late.

Virgo came along and showed that he is the epitome of
wearing his heart on his sleeve, the definition of what
love's supposed to be. With the power of aiding to any
soul that needs mending, he proved that he is invincible.
Eternally grateful, he never loses touch with his spirit.
Connecting to reality with possibilities never ceasing.
He is forming, he is being. Out of the ordinary, he shifts
away from the idea of escaping every opportunity.
A breath of fresh air, that is he. He continues to inspire me.

And I blame it all on the stars.
They are why this came to be.

I'm used to people leaving without warning.
"See you later" nor a final "goodbye" parts
from the lips that used to say "I love you."
Each and every time, I assume their silence
is their way of exiting, their way of not causing
too much damage. And memories we created
were meant to be something to remember them by.
Eyes watered with tears filled with words
I cannot verbally express, and I ask myself,
"Why do people leave when I'm so **** easy to love?"

You came around and changed everything.
You are unaware of the power of your presence.
You may not physically be in my sight but your
energy radiates from the amount of miles in between us.
In between us lies heaps of unconditional love,
answers to questions so deep, and many truths
that have yet to be said because the hesitation is taking over.
And I can't help but to think how different things
would be if you were right in front of me.
Eyes locked and analyzing each other's souls,
with the inability to see through each other.
I am patiently waiting for the day.
With you, tomorrow is never too late.

I wish I could save you from your demons.

I pray for you every night.
I pray that your spirit is lifted soon.
I pray that your soul finds the peace it deserves.
I pray that your mind is at ease during the hardest of times.
I pray that your heart makes room for greater amounts of love
and rids itself of the pain. I pray that you, one day, realize how
grand you truly are and reach your full potential. I pray
that you find the strength to break the bonds of
negativity one day.  I pray that positivity
uplifts you and increases your faith.

Every night. I promise that I do.
Just thinking of you. Like always.

Like all things, you need time.
Time to unwind and release the ache
your soul has found to be the most comfortable.
Time to lift the burdens from your shoulders
and begin anew. For your heart continues
to grow in abundance of love that you worry
may steer you wrong. The lessons it has
learned and the stories that it holds have
taught you to move forward with no one
to give them to.

Kiss the shadows of your past goodbye.
The pieces to the puzzle called your soul
depict a new journey for you. Let the
wings of mercy become your safety net.
For they shall cushion every blow.
They shall surround you at every waking
moment because that is what you truly
deserve. May the spark of a new light
shine so bright within. May its warmth
renew your life and rid you of your
demons. May it give you hope for the path
only heaven has in store.

For the many years to come, cherish every
breath you take. Never stop wondering
about how much better life will be. Continue
wishing for brighter days. And remember
every person that has touched your soul.
