Did I Kill You (Again)

did I kill you again did I wrestle from you what you died to gain did I kill you again walking on eggshells, desperate not to hurt both of us are already broken in parts we’ve been beaten, failed experiments someone wanted us to become new instead we just became again I walk the nights […]

Her Right Eye

take our love break it over your mouth purple juices splatter on our hands drip down your neck between breasts the vessel of light magnified I lose track of your eyes, bowing now to clean up our mess wet tongue on the parched skin did I pass the test or should I look up at […]

Been There

Been there, by my side Resonating through our conversation Intertwined with the distance we share So finish the task Because I’m with you Till the end of the line Answers can be found when we listen Not to them, but us Not to everything, but the little things Assertive convictions kick down the doors I’ll […]

What We Both Know

I could never, ever tell you why There’s something underneath the shadows Of my eyes, of the time, of the rhymes I spend in excess devoted to you There’s a lady in white, smiling right back at me There’s a lady in white, smiling in the mirror Right behind me At first, I thought she […]

I’ll Never Wonder Why

There’s never a time when I wonder Why I became friends with you Sure, we didn’t like each other at first But that’s kinda the point I don’t like everyone I meet immediately Although I know immediately if I’d like you Or not And I always felt we’d come around It took time, but any […]

What Words Bring

I had to get rid of me To find Me The suicidal depressions And disappointment brewed From pornographic misconceptions The boiling, bawling anger I couldn’t control Tearing myself from the flesh I called home Descending into the valley, alone I couldn’t come out until I figured how Embrace my unique in a cookie cutter world […]

Nobody Listens To Me

Why should I listen Nobody listens to me When I say I’m tired, pouring on the pain Becomes involuntary Like the assumption that I’m slower Or not there at all Because I’m so still, so quiet Thinking, wondering, adding Really, you should try it But don’t ever ask how I’m feeling, no They only see […]

27

27 Riding off into the dark Not a thank you Nor a middle finger Just a sigh To keep the bind Passing time Till I blend my rhyme With the flame in your eye That punishes my good Rewards my bad And makes me wonder Where I’ve been along Time never seemed emptier Days never […]

This Child Becomes Undone

Don’t mind I’m just writing Clues for you Clues for your heart to follow And yours hips to ride on Write on About how I don’t appeal to you Your sensitivity, shaken, curiosity, awakened Yet I feel I’m a pawn in your sea But you’re the one to be sunk By the weight of my […]
