Choices

One's anger has my soul writhing in pain.
The other does not, will not trust my love.
I'd give my life to end the toxic rain.
Will the forgiveness be what I've dreamt of?

I had no idea it was possible,
But I am finally letting him go.
This new love I feel is unstoppable.
Can he accept love that can only grow?

To cause him pain would mean my own demise.
If I should walk away, would he follow?
Could I convince him of love he denies?
Does he suspect my truth to be hollow?

I know that my heart will never waver.
If he turns away my dream could shatter.
If love's not accepted, truth I'll savor.
Doubting me would make nothing else matter.

Is there anything left for me to lose,
When between the two I'm forced to choose?

Dignity

Some have the dignity
To admit that all they have
Is mortality

Others only show
Their corruption
Through drugs

Yet all are the same
In the way
That they
Are ecstatic
Because they have just
Enough endurance to get through
Life

Some cut to find
Harmony but only become
Mindless drifting souls
Slowly dying and turning 
Into the forgotten

Others drown themselves
In the notes and melodies
Of music to find peace
But are only criticized
And put down

Yet all are the same
In the way
That they
Change to find
A sense of comfort
WIthin themselves

Some turn to waves
To drown out the shame
And save their virginity
To escape conflict

Others fly kites
Over rainbows thinking
It will keep people from finding
The hate and fear inside

Yet all are the same
In the way 
That they
Have anger and depression
Deep within their soul

Those who chose
Not to accept this way
Of life followed
The evil and decided on death

For some death is suicide

For others it's drugs and alcohol

But it's all the same 
As it's all about a decision
Of feelings and desperation
Of the heart

Toxicity

The tears
They fall
Like a toxic
Rain from
A sky of
Hate

The drops
They burn
So bad
So painful
Like acid

The pain
It hurts
Worse than death

The death
Being slow
Being the hardest
Thing you've ever been through

The love
It touches you
Deep in the soul
Like the hand
Of a parent

The parent
Holds you
As if they were
Protecting
You
From a raging
Storm

That storm
Being the most treacherous
And harmful thing
You've ever
Suffered

Rising

Like an oath to quit
Or a plague from below
I become blindfolded
To the sickening
Pain
Deep in the soul

Dark hate
Consumes
Her heart
Like a black hole
In the universe
Of life

Understanding

Anger burns
Deep
In my soul

Selfish desire wells
Up
In my heart

Confused frustration fights
To escape
The restraints
Of my mind

To understand this
Is to love
Yet love
Only brings
More
Unexpected feelings
Of hate.

More Than a Father

The ring of the phone
And she answers.
I already know what it was.
A gasp of pain
As Momma falls to her knees.
She weeps like nothing I have heard before.
Running to her side
No tears for me,
Not yet,
No time.
She needs me.
Screaming with terror
And disbelief,
Momma can't breathe.
I try to hold her,
Try to calm,
She doesn't want it.
She wants him.
Not me.
Weeks go by
Without dry eyes.
All but me.
There are so many questions
I'd yet answered.
That wasn't the time.
I held strong for her Daddy.
Just like I always have.
Just like you'd want me to.
