For Her
A desert grows
Inside my once fertile womb.
Your child once lived there.
Strong, smart, and creative,
Everything you stand for.
A desert lives
Inside my heart.
A heart that used to trust!
Now broken by your infidelity,
I need you more than ever.
Building a desert
Inside lungs that used to breathe.
With emotions I betray him.
Whispering softly words inside my heart,
Steadily calling you home.
Retreat
Your hasty goodbye reminded me that it’s time to let go.
I’m not sure if I’m ready to do so.
I want you to feel…
It’s clear that you do not.
I have no choice but to let you walk away.
If I kissed you
Sometimes I wonder if I kissed you, would the spark still be there? If I looked in your
eyes, would I see the same carefully hidden yearning folded neatly, tucked
behind a cool mask of self-assurance? I remember the way you touched me,
the way your hands shocked my never-knowing skin with electricity, with excitement.
When things went bad, you turned off the power switch. But now it’s back on,
and I can hardly resist the heat, the passion, the hunger, the ferociousness. The love.
I can hardly resist you.
Untitled
With these words,
You pick apart.
Patiently explaining all my
Shortcomings.
Underneath a little girl is crying.
But an adult,
Though with a wavering voice,
Calmly,
Defeatedly,
Takes on the responsibility of change.
Untitled
Shivering
To the cold sound of the lamp buzzing.
Light shines brightly,
But no heat is given through frigid beams.
I visited your past,
And saw her face.
White porcelain skin,
Eyes that tell secrets,
Making words optional, unwanted.
My words, my spirit!
How can I live without
My words?
I visited your future,
And saw a child.
Your eyes,
My hands.
A blend of my jealousy,
with my precious words.
We become whole.
I can only hope your past was incomplete
And temptation never rules over happiness.
I trust you when you say it's only us.
I just with I could be everything for you.
And not something to get used to.
So Let Me Breathe
So let me unfold into your arms
Where you will erase all the restrictions
And scraped knees.
Where time has no boundaries
And I am free to exist.
I am not a gaurdian angel,
a genius,
better,
lower,
I am simple.
So let me find comfort inside your arms
Where everything is simple.
Trust In Me
A calling within the chaos.
Slowly inspiration comes creeping back.
With those words,
Each one tearing a new hole,
You instantly take away from me
Everything.
Would you forgive me
If I ever just let myself die?
Would I forgive you
If you let us die?
I know where we belong.
Just follow me!
Drifting
I'm held together with paper clips and kid's paste.
One wrong move and I've fallen apart.
Where are your hands that heal?
You've given me words that destroy.
Need can no longer explain.
There must be a stronger word
For me
Without you.
Unsure
I can't stop the thoughts
Or the love for you.
I can't stop the time
And rewind
And pause
Nor the words that you dealt
Or the betrayal I feel.
Were you fleeting?
Will you stay?
I can't stop the time.
And rewind.
And pause.
Untitled
I want to yell and scream
I want to cry and break down
But I will remain quiet
And wait for your words to come
Untitled
I'm not who you thought that I would be.
Things have gotten in between
In between you and me.
I felt your eyes.
They put me up to size
Have you changed your mind?
And is it true that love is blind?
Dissonance
It's finally caught up to me.
I've been pushing you away.
Hoping you'd never catch up.
You're leaving
I'm growing
I just want to be me
It's starting to drag me under.
I've been fighting on the surface for far too long.
Hoping you'd help me stay afloat.
You're perfect
I'm insecure
I just want to be me
Untitled
Turn to me and I will show you the fruits of the night.
All of the colors and insecurities wating in the brink of soft darkness.
I show you now all I have to offer.
Sincere words and open hands.
Waiting calmly to crash into the reverie of your skin.
Our nights will only know restlessness.
Turn to me and know adventure waits placidly with the moon.
Bitter
I am growing weary of this constant ache.
I know my yearning will remain one-sided.
Despite its many dimensions inside my skin.
How naive of me to wish that things were different.
I opened up to you.
I showed you my wings and my sky.
I offered you a taste of me; you politely took a sip.
Was I not sweet enough?
Letting Go
I find myself running back to you.
Your tuneless words linger, leaving me searching for melody.
I want to remember how beautiful you are.
And forget that you hurt me with the sharp end of what you said.
Our time is drawing to an end.
With each step, the clock shudders.
The hours have stretched.
Now seeming long and unbearable.
I try not to remember the way that home was in your hands.
Saying goodbye has never been so hard.
I conformed, hoping to blend into you.
But it's time that I be true to who I am.
I am finally letting go.
Untitled
Timidly with pencil I drew your painting.
Too afraid to make mistakes.
I etched and formed, comforted that I had an eraser.
Now I have found my color.
Uninhibited, I splash reds, greens and blues into my life.
Into my painting.
