at night the pills hit me
like the wreck of train.

I smile, I recall your face
high as hell, but I remember your name.

I replay your sweet voice,
in my chaotic brain.

love is life for me,
but for you it's just a game.

no, it's not healthy
but it's keeping me sane.

Drinks at day,
pills at night.

it's all that gives me peace,
with them I don't have to fight.

ZL Sep 2016
in the beginning was you
a beautiful lie
promising me something true.

in the middle was us
caught in the crossfire of love
All we did was disagree, fight, and fuss.

in the end is now me
realizing with you is where I need to be.
searching for something I once had

*you drive me crazy, you drive me mad

I had my first sip of liquor in the womb
now they tell me I drink too soon.

coffee for breakfast, ***** at noon
I drown out my pain, swim to my tomb.

genie in a bottle
reality I swallow.

Afterall, Jesus turned water into wine
so have mercy on my sorrow, lecture me some other time.

woe to man who created pills
they give me chills
they make me feel
take too many they'll make you ill
they deceive my fantasies
their thrill is real

woe to the man who made **** pills
with every one I take,
a piece of me is killed.

pills to sleep
now I don't eat.

pills for anxiety
now I don't act like me.

pills for mood
so I don't seem rude.

pills for that
pills for this...

They'll forever be my friend
until I no longer exist.

Dear God,
and stupid cupid
will you ever send me
someone that I love can back?

The boys hand me their hearts
and I hand it back,
later their bodies are found
from an apparent heart attack.

easy lover
ZL Aug 2016
I was never the easiest to love
no man would fit like O.J's glove

I was never the easiest to leave
countdown to go, like New Years Eve

I was never confident with my hearts emotions
I am the shallow part of the deep blue oceans

I was never in tune with my souls true feelings
lying to myself, seeking ****** healings

Now I'm left with all my ******* and baggage
empty affairs have created a Savage

could bring me such glory in such filthy sin.

only freaks know what I'm talking about.

I had no choice
due to my lovers abandonment,

A love story
ZL Jul 2014
You saw me first.

I was flattered to know,
I had an admirer.

I was told, "you thought I was warm like sunshine"
I knew then I wanted you as mine.

My walk changed,
my smile opened,
and I wore a little more perfume.

Then on day 1, I lite up
after seeing you in the classroom.

Nights reign supreme
As I obsess over your entire being.
Memories don't do any justice
As I recall sweet times between us.
Maybe it was real,
more than likely not....
I toss and turn burning hot,
waiting for the flashbacks
to finally stop. .

so cherish her now please.

to multiple hearts,

ZL Sep 2015
I vow to no longer be used by men,
sacrificing my soul for the sake of sin.

gaining nothing, after giving them my best.

I vow to be a woman, no longer a *****,
because my heart and ****** is tired of being sore.

passed by a mirror, caught a glance
the devil is beautiful when he dance

dark shadows walk slowly

voices kidnap my head
held hostage till' I'm dead

How did I
Allow myself to be used?
Too compromising
Abused thereafter
Searching frantically
For a clue
Why would you?
How could he,
Hurt me so badly?
Maybe I’m selfish
Or foolish too
I can’t come to terms
With the things he do

If I could, I would build you a heart
one that could not be broken
one incapable of falling apart

If I could, I would wash away your tears
drown them in the murky waters
with all of your fears

If I could, I would shelter you from harm
shield you from dark days
and frequent storms

If I could, I would protect you 24/7
saving you from this hell
until you ascend to Heaven

I do not know how to say no
I let people in my life
and welcome them to come and go
while I'm left feeling low.

I do not know how to love myself
so instead I love everyone else
or at least it's what I like to believe
although I can't cope when they leave.

I do not know how to live
so day by day I die
death shall be my greatest high
and for the millionth time I'll say goodbye.

the sun will always shine after the rain
as pleasure will appear after the pain
for I am the calm before the storm
seems as if I was doomed before I was even born

I tell them my heart is dislocated and my soul is torn.

Rare of your kind,
forever is your time.
Fine as red wine,
you live in my mind.

The light of your eyes
makes my soul shine.
Honey love, lemon drop
could you please be mine?

I love you
no, I'm lying
I want you
you see I'm crying!

up
why do I cry when I look at the sky?
knowing one day, I'll say goodbye
leaving all my hurt and all my worry
life is slow, but deaths a hurry
I only hope I did all I can
wishing God has mercy, he'll understand
apologies to women, sorry to man
at Heaven's gate, I'll proudly stand!

Who am I to deserve?
I was once a Queen,
but now I serve.

Who am I to dream of hope?
Just a sinner,
I inhale pain to cope.

Who am to exhale a wish?
Angels I've abandoned,
Demons I've kissed.

Who am I to wrestle with earth?
I afflicted myself,
that day, at birth.

I didn't ask to be born into this world
there's too much pressure
being someones babygirl.

Delicate, with dignity
I once was
but I turn into a freak
as dawn transforms into dusk.

At night,
I close my wide eyes
and darkness consumes me entirely
no more light.

I defeat God's will,
there is no more fight
no more worries,
little to no care.

Atlas I transform

until a mothers worse

Today I had three dates.

One was pretty,
the other needy,

I did not get to see any.

I am not sure if I have any love left in me.
So, until then I am going to stay away.
But soon my lovers, I'll have more lies to tell, more flattery to say.

I became cold
stress aged me quickly
I didn't want to be old.

I became cold
promises turned to lies
truths were no longer told.

I became cold
which you mistook as shyness
my anger was too bold.

I became cold
because carrying the weight of the world
proved to be too heavy of a load!

a childhood of misery.

when I don't want them to be.

and all the nasty things we do

clock in clock out
your body knows what I'm talking about

minutes to hours it takes

at 12 I'll have you for lunch
I'll heat it up with my warm touch

5 pm and it's time to go
you ask me to stay----but no

wait yes-----
I could use this over-time ***

why does living feel like dying?
and pleasure feel like crying?

why are we expected to be good,
when we are told we are bad?

why do they tell us to be happy,
when our souls are sad?

why do I hate them
and love them too?

Why can't life be a new rainbow?
instead of depressing old black and blue.

A blue liquid began to spill
at the moment I began to feel--------- LESS

He broke my heart,
and I was depressed already
so now I bleed BLUE.

I had one chance

You wouldn't look at me,

you wished me well with life,

but without you, I may as well die.

I've become dangerous.
Poison pumps through my veins.
My troubled heart is to blame.

My arch nemesis is cupid
who seems Hell bent
him and every ex of a *****.

I Bet he gets paid
every time my soul gets broken
or some guy gets laid.

some devils have love made
while sweet Angels like myself
end up getting played.

I don't think I will be loved this lifetime
no one will claim me and says she's mine.

I don't think loneliness will ever leave my side
he's my husband, and I'm his bride

I don't think intimacy is something Ill achieve
they will get too close, and I will fearfully leave.

I only wish someone was brave enough to stop my self-destruction
after all I'm just a delicate woman child in need of severe loving.

sin II

No matter how much I clean
I can't escape this filth
this dirt, this blackness...

this sin that is me
I swam a million miles
and even tried to cross the red sea,
it washed away my hope
of who I could be...

I crawl out my skin
to have it only grow back
darker, stronger, more black
more sin...

it chokes my soul
when it returns,
"Where have you been?"
I lie, telling it "No where,
I could never leave you my friend."
