A million times a day
I sit on the bridge, over the bay
asking what if life is just some sick game?
then I hear a voice saying
"Why don't you stop playing?"

Demons come out to dance at night
All eyes on them, as they enter the spotlight

Darkness inhabits every space
Only two dull eyes shine on my black face

I’m forced to witness what they call entertainment
Waste of focus, energy poorly spent

I’m tired of the fights and the arguments
I close my eyes, I can no longer handle it!

sexual tension
ZL Nov 2017
it's hard in times like this
when I'm away, that face I miss
when you talk, I watch your lips
fantasizing about our first kiss

not sure if you're taken
or if you go this way
but **** baby,
you make my day!

I've been here before
and yes I am afraid
but I won't let you go
until I get laid

Over the years
I vowed to wear
My emotions
Less.

Since the beginning
Of time
They were the reasons
I stressed.

Recent failures
blame them
For creating this
Mess.

How far
can I get
Being
emotionless?

I'm not sure
but it's worth
a test.

protecting myself became a art
my canvas was a blank heart
pure and innocent at first
but my gift became my blessing and curse
I became an abuser,
a user
I was the biggest loser!
because I too
caused harm
with superficial charm
and leading many men on.

proximity
ZL Aug 2015
Excuse me while I make love to you with the lights on
we slow dance to your favorite song
I admire your perfume that I inhale in my nose
as I melt from your body heat
as I pull you close.

You inch closer for a kiss
I try to relax, body tense
This is merely imagination,
but the thought alone
had my heart racing.

adore my beauty
before it grows old
look into my eyes
before they grow cold
undress your body
before I go blind
tell me you love me
without lying
kiss my lips
before they go dry
give me a reason to live
**before I die

ode to onions
ZL Aug 2015
I let you go,
to only want you back.

I fell in love,
to only break your heart.

But I was the only one broken from the start.

I fed you sweet nothings,
to feel like I was really something.

Now I'm stuck with lonely tears,
from my own stinky onion.

I miss your presence,
but most of all I miss your loving.

Right to remain silent
ZL Mar 2015
I have this sick feeling
in the darkness of my soul
something so tempting
yet something so wrong.

I've tried to run, but nowhere I've gone
in years my body has grown
yet I'm still a confused little girl
alone in a big empty home.

Lust I have sown
my flesh is weak
but my will is strong
evil is all I have known.

One day it may win,
or at least for a while.
For now I plead the fifth
until my due trial...

Hands once warm and steady,
are now distant and heavy.
I crave to touch you ever so slight,
But I keep it contained with all my might.
Eyes once curious and brave,
stay dimly lit to soften my graze.
Heart so gentle and true,
now hesitant with loving you.

heart in your large hands
legs weak, hard for me to stand
held captive to a evil man
I could leave, I know I can
but its scary out there
foreign land

I promised not to fall for you
quick sand
I promised not to love you
feelings banned
but I live for you

yearning to be loved
ZL Jan 2015
And I remember being in your home
In your bed
Insecure thoughts
ran through my head...

Like, do you love me?
Do you really care?
Satisfaction and pleasure
I could not share...

I knew I shouldn't have been there
I had the answers
And the truth hurt
But it was too late to go...

I had already dropped my skirt.
Yearning to belong but still alone
And repeating the same old heartbreak  song...

I'm sorry if my love was not enough
Life was about time,
I was always in a rush.

So much to do,
so much to see,
I guess I forgot you needed me.

Now I lay in the ground alone,
covered with dirt and anxiety.
Hoping you knew I loved you entirely.

Abusive boyfriend
ZL Sep 2015
From the sky
I gaze down
trying my best not to cry
I am finally free!
I can finally fly!

From the clouds
I can hear screams sung aloud
I glance down to see
a woman,
a man,
a child.

The woman is heartbroken
the man's shirt is full of sweat and blood,
it's filthy and soaking
the child has tears on his cheeks
confusion and pain slowly running.

I begin to die, as the child starts choking
I too, was in abusive relationship with a man named Life
the sun nor showers would stop him from beating his wife.

He loved me when it began
but he could never get past my affair with sin
then one day God heard my prayer and let me in.
To hell went my husband and boyfriend
I knew it was over.
This was the end.

Stolen kisses

my lover asked a favor
I refused, his agony I savor

mouth drenched in gold
breathe ice cold

lips as gatekeepers
passion they hold

the power of a kiss
is a secret untold

never ask for what you want
Take it. Be bold!

Suffrage swallows glad,

I could make a ***** jealous.
I have enough sin in me
to make the devil envy.

exhausted heart doesn't want to be touched.

but I have loss too;
the abiltiy to feel
and trust you.

I've always only been somebody's maybe,

never anyone's baby.

I've always been good at masking my sadness,

Now I seem really angry.

Once little miss sunshine,

Now I'm cold, they call me Shady.

thinking in the past

only wastes time

energy and thought

lectures; my friends preach about.

For those moments of us are gone

But, tell me you do it too

that I won't feel so alone.

so I can continue to gloat on.

in misery of a kidnapped heart

bound at your home.

wonder how he's doing,

does she make him smile?
are they known around town?
does she make him frown,
like I did, way back when he was all mine?
what we were doing seemed fine
thought we would age together like the best wine
but we ran out of time
and that bottle broke!
our memories scattered the floor
leaving nothing but a joke.

One more heartbreak
Added to my score
Liking you became difficult
Like a mandatory chore

One more heartbreak
Against my name
Paint me the bad one
Portray me to blame

prevent you from feeling blue
it went unnoticed
so here's a clue...

beware of lust
be slow to start
beware of love
guard your heart
love, heartbreak, romance, breakups

because loving you is wrong
it's a sad, beautiful, romantic song.

you tell me not to fight the feeling
but you're sick and kind of contagious
my health you're killing.

you are no Angel of mine
so, I can't love you right now
nope, not during this time.

My God does not approve
you are the sin my heart will never choose
this will always be the right move.

It was the closest thing to love
I ever knew.
It's funny how this tiny
feeling grew.
I said I had felt it all
I had not, it was not true.

warmth you gave,
soul kisses you blew
so, no matter who I'm with
I'll forever love and thank you!

we were too young to understand
I was not yet a woman, you weren't a man
even still, we did the best we can
the both of us lost in LaLa land

you gave me more than I could ever ask
though loving me was no easy task
way too fragile, I broke the glass
quits you called it, way too fast

your heart fell to pieces, my tears fell down
our love laid helplessly on the ground
from my nightmare I awoke, but you weren't around
vanished through my dreams, never again to be found

looked after by one burdened cloud.

I grew alone,

in a ****** open field they left me.

Waiting to be free
expectation has become my misery.

Day by day I decay,
I can't continue life this way.

for the love we lost
The price I paid for pride
wasn't worth the cost
shaking your time, energy, and effort off
dismissing you as an employee as If I were boss
the struggle between man and woman
the fights, fussing and cussing
poured down on our loving
vulnerable hearts, left open, no covering
what went wrong?
is all I'm left wondering.

with whiffs of your scent
savoring in this goodness
assures me this was meant

a heavenly body
laying besides mine
glistening gold
from citrus sunshsine

i can feel you here
although you are gone
never tell the secrets
which inhabit my home
