Final Rest
Fretina Exum Jul 2020
Running like the wind through my mind with the feeling I’m running out of time, as I continue to run I see an light directing my path wondering will it last or continue to feel further away with each step, looking around me there are no trees or animals just the gravel burning the bottom of my feet with each step I take looking to the side of me no one is around not even a sound as I run I think to myself, is this a dream? Why am I running like this every time I try to stop, I feel as if someone one is pushing me along I try to sit but it doesn’t fit .What is this happening to me? Wondering how long it will be before I wake from this on going dream. Hours past I have not waken still running, as I look ahead of me I see a bed, I try to make myself run faster so I can rest , as I get closer, it seems to be at a stand still. I reach for the bed looking down to my surprise its me with no life left inside me  it is not a dream, just a scene of where I was before I laid my head for the final rest.
who really knows when your out of time .

No More
Fretina Exum May 2020
I swallowed the words you spoke to me , every word became my destiny, as I
                  filled my belly with the lies you fed, I soon started to dread the full chorus
                      that was left unsaid. Racing through my head was every word, the more I
                  ate I began to ache, tears were falling with every bite, wishing I could put up
                  the fight yelling about  last night. Was this the life planned for me , eating
                myself into obesity filling my self with every word believing it all to be true, I
                had no clue, as I took in the last chorus I couldn’t take any more I was full of
                 the lies you fed, when suddenly I hit my head wondering if I was dead, what
                else could be said, then I heard you say stay  with me my love, ill say not another word for as long as we both shall live, from that moment on you spoke nothing more . Wondering why you began to cry pointing at the words on the board  , I cut out my tongue to hurt you no more..

pieces of me
Fretina Exum Jan 2020
My eye are for you to gaze into to feel the emotions that you can’t
                            Compare with just a stare, my lips are for you to kiss to the way you do
                          When I am not with you , my ears are to hear the words that hurt , you so  ‘                        dear when you tell me the way you feel is unclear, my cheeks when they
                        Rise to form a smile thinking of the joy you bring, my hands are to feel the
                         Warmth of your while walking down the narrow path, my arms to wrap
                        Them around you to feel your heart beating next to mine, my legs as im
                         Walking down the path towards you, as these tears fill my eyes begin to
                           Fall , my lips forming a smile to make me feel tall, my ears that hear all
                      The awws , my cheeks begin to go down a I begin to frown, my hands are
                     Hurting from holding the thorns from the ground, as I reach the end of the
                   Path I see nothing there but the pieces of me you left behind.

Until this day
Fretina Exum Feb 2020
I chose to love without a clue the things, the things I knew felt so untrue, you came to be my wildest dream as crazy as it seems I was being pulled by a strong that ran on, off and on for years, I his all my fears.No my dear the twist began when I felt your hand up against my face, as I began to cry and wonder if this is the blessing I do longer for, before I could say goodbye next thing I knew you blacked my eye, promised to love me for as long as we lived placing that ring on my hand with an awkward grin, as time goes by I gaze at the sky wishing I could fly away and leave everything behind, as I turn my head to the side you were there looking in my eyes.As the years go by I start to cry barely able to move from the last time, call for help you say, there is no way.Days have past you began to go weak stricken with sickness for me to care for you.As I look at you I want nothing more but to take from you as you have from me,should I help you well or just let you rot in hell, I pace back and forth undecided , when it hits me love is blind, I begin to pack my things, I look over at you coughing reaching for my hand, I look away and continue to pack, I rise and come towards you. You open your eyes filled with tears I've cried for years, you know see as I walk away, that love doesn't hurt until this day.

— The End —
