#ginny
Here we are, starting fresh But I don't remember what it feels like to feel whole How do you fix a hole in your chest? A band-aid?A cold compress? If a tree falls in the wood Would it make a sound, if no one was around to swing the axe To cut off my head and stop the train of thoughts. To derail the track and divert from the one-track mind I have? Having to go through things that make you strong weakens you It's a catch-22 so, what do you do? The flame, the heat licking at my skin to a beat a rhythm, a release The flame consumes me I eat the pain or it eats me A cavernous, carnivorous beast with an insatiable appetite and I'm just a bite and I'm gone As whom I once was goes up in flames I'm trying to change, to grow To tie this all up in a neat, tidy bow But I'll never know right and wrong weak and strong A binary that has complexities and shades of grey And I just want to be okay I can't keep burning through life this way Will it ever stop? There can't be more shoes that drop I need hope that all will be well That my heart will swell and fill the hole I need to accept what I can't control The secrets are told There's nothing new to learn or unfold I need piece to gather the pieces of my soul Or I will burn until there is nothing left

Beginnings
King tree of life hello I'm full of dew dripping willow me for you Two virtual emperors, like you write deep sensual ink. Striking similarities to yours; one is owned by his wife I ignite a phantom fate spark. Another is one way street. Yes I am born a self existing yellow star, a curse a blessing. Portal to heaven by birth chart. But you were bridge, something in the way you brew my wine. Fiery red gold key my six-nine. Then silence, gap, abyss. Into your own ginny you are! No longer into mine! Your ginny of yesterday. ~~~~~~~~~~ Me and Mrs Andrews-k

Ginny of yesterday
I mangled my tooth, Munching on the moon, Whilst the war raged forth. I smirked something, “sinister,” Later Tuesday; lights on, And Ginny’d lay waiting. I’d shower guilt, And a 2:00 AM excuse, now Wednesday, so clogged the drain. I’d know defeat, Come morning, hair, every strand swept, Nigh and not a piece left for me.
