You think it's going to be your way or the highway but that's not how it's going to be.
You'd better change your way of thinking if you want to continue to be married to me.
You are not always going to get your way.
You'd better learn that if you want me to stay.
You need to learn that marriage is a two-way street, it's not a one-way street.
When it comes to our marriage, I'm not going to take a back seat.
You don't care about my dreams and desires, you think it's all about you.
If you don't change, I'll have this marriage annulled, that's what I'll do.
You've started laughing because you actually think I'm not serious.
When I talk about this problem, you think it's not worthy to discuss.
It won't be your way or the highway but that is something that I have failed to make clear.
I no longer want you for a wife so I'm going to pack my bags and get the hell out of here.
EVEN THOUGH THIS POEM IS FICTIONAL, I REALLY WOULD LEAVE SUCH A PERSON

One day i will not need love anymore.
I will not rise to open the door cause that sound i am hearing is all in my heard.
You loved him the way fragile kids love candy.
You wrote songs and letters about him.
You still sleep with his shirt  to smell the cologne on it.
Anxiety will not let me breathe.
Because i was a fool in love.

When i caught you cheating.
You made my heart bleed.
I attended a nearby funeral procession.
I joined mourners there to cry my heart out.
Than i realized i never loved you.
I felt pity for you and couldn't let you go.
You were suicidal and lost everyone close to you.
I did not want to see you in that dark place.
So i stay to keep watch on you.

It became a devil snare for me.
I got trapped in a situation where you always came first.
I tolerated your toxic behavior.
I had to support your childish trait.
Find myself accepting your drunkenness.

I really wanted it to be you.
I so badly wanted it to be you that i will walk with the the alter.
Until i understood i was never in your plans.
I was your cry shoulder in your darkest moments.
You had someone to entertain you daily.
Until you get bored and came running to me with your problems.

I was never a boyfriend in your eyes.
You loved me because i reminded you of your father.
So instantly i was a father figure you wanted to uplift you..

I loved you when no else did.
I sacrificed my sanity to se you smile.
I can't put into words what that did to my heart.
I was hurt so deeply that i thought i will never love again.

Now that the dust has passed and settled.
I found somebody to help me find myself.
Who appreciate and values my love for her.
I bought a dress and a wedding ring for you.
This person will wear them in your behalf.

I saw that's there's nothing painful like regret.
Wondering what could have been.
In this love month you are sending me messages for forgiveness.
I am preparing a wedding for myself.
I can't worry about spilled milk.
While i have a platinum in front of my eyes.

Finally i realized that i was never asking for too much.
I was with a wrong person to give me affection.
You were with me because i was your therapist.
I am with someone that love and support me whole heartedly.
You gave me a lesson in life..
That don't stay in a relationship because you are afraid of what will happen to another person.
Stay in a relationship because you are loved and appreciated.
Knowing someone out there is praying for you.
I am a living testimony of it.
I have found that one whonis os dearest to my heart and soul.

I tend to romanticize, 
I romanticize friendships and love and all relations,
Makes them a little more than what they seem,
Doesn't it?
And maybe that's what the flaw of romanticizing life is,
Once you start romanticizing it you ignore the practicality,
That the real-life beholds,
One part of you stuck at the expectations,
And other tries to avoid the befalling of this little kingdom,
Your mind survives in,
So you romanticize bad memories too,
As if you were really dead every second someone scolded you,
Or crumpled your ***** of life,
And in this loop of romanticizing, you end up hurting everyone,
So you tell yourself to wake up,
You force yourself to be awake,
And when you finally are,
You see there never has existed a premise,
Where you were playing your orchestra.
It feels to me the world I live in is crumbling down and I am washing away with it.

Did you realized that every drama is about love?
Don't you think love is dramatic?
Anais Vionet Oct 2020
Write on me - I’m a blank page,
here to meet expectations.
Scribble, erase - copy and paste,
refine me with your impatience.

I’m a canvas for you to paint on
make of me what you will.
Make of me art - I’m ready to start,
paint me into a corner.

Showcase me in your gallery -
display what you've acquired.
I'm a mannequin for ******* -
arrange me with your desire.

Put me in your drama
I'm longing for the part
improvise, I'll close my eyes
the ****** will be art.
one of the cornerstones of art is romance - if not more...

Death,the end of life
Is it the end , i doubt
It's the eternal truth
that can not be denied
that can not be avoided
Death,where we all end up underneath some sheet
Death,the never-ending sleep
Death , it's peaceful
Death, where your soul leaves your body
And ascends to a higher reality
Death, it's the end of an identity
What remains behind it
Just Remains the reminisce
Remains the memories
Remains a cold soulless body
A body that will rot away  or turn into ashes
soul that disappears in a split of a second and finds the path of eternity
The soul that is eternal
Leaves behind the reminisce of the past
The person who used to be someone's parent , child , lover or friend doesn't exist anymore
They are just a memory now/
In a split of a second...
Death , it's a path to an endless road of rediscovery
Death , a path towards reincarnation
The beginning of a new journey
death,it means just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character
Death,the next great adventure
Another journey of mortality
It's not the ending, it's the beginning of a  new journey
An endless journey between mortality and immortality.

A power prompted, a hammer swings,

A coil strikes like a match, agitating a flicker,

A burst of dynamism, kindling of fervor,

Swift expansion, as adrenaline burns,

Isolated fury, with no aperture for relief,

Pressure for freedom, a miniscule brute runs,

Immutable plans launched, ruination inescapable,

Velocity augmenting, blood rushes like lead,

The crack of thunder, a missionary departed,

Destiny and doom controlled by a mortal spirit,

A rise of rage flies, thrill fills the heart,

And then, contact is made,

A soul lies slaughtered, smoking gun left standing,

A world to come, cut short,

By fate controlled in one man's hand.
For an October goal of writing one project every day.

smoking makes me happy
the pain in my lungs reminds me
i am merely man
suffocating myself
just to feel something
not of self deprecation
you keep me safe up here
above the smoke
beyond the barriers of this world
a simple touch
takes me places i could never go
without blackening my insides
