Before I Knew You: Not a Personal Experience

Gone and flushed out my life not through the simplicity of adoption,
But through another type of passing, this was my only option,
With no financial stability I lost all capability,
To care for you, they stripped you from me through my own admissibility,
How could you know I was your mother, I never even gave you a name,
I stripped my precious "No Name" of life and put myself to shame,
No face do I have, don't look, just turn away,
I feel judged as my face perceived my thoughts in a disarray,
I hear them all talking, screaming, "Murderer, killer!"
I can't bare this type of torture they yell, "Kill her, kill her!"
The voices in my head force my hand a little more by the day,
I took the life of my own and now my heart is starting to decay,
But deep down within you try to find some inner peace,
Oh but how that can never be see how your peace became so brief,
But don't think the simple feeling of stitches will give you healing,
With a sudden sigh of relief you could never compress this feeling,
All the shame and the pain and the hurt and the lies,
Sitting there all night in the mirror while you cry,
You do the crime you pay the time is usually the story's moral,
But I got out with an easy pass, oh how my thoughts begin to quarrel,
Sickness taking hold of me, but this is different from before,
Because this sickness isn't caused from the beautiful soul I once bore,
Once more, I live a life that feels like a living hell,
Can't you tell by my outward expression all the inner pain I dwell,
Of course I have times when I sit up all night and cry,
Maybe it's because I feel a part of me within has died,
Even though the sad reality is that a part of me was killed,
So maybe I shed tears at the thought that my own blood was spilled,
Cold chill going through the inner course of my vein,
Slowly but surely it enters the course of my brain,
FREEZE! And it coerces me to deliberate,
Stuck between tears and silence I now am left here to hesitate,
I made my decision before I even knew I cared,
Paranoid, my thoughts are overruled and now they've got me ensnared,
Not ready to be responsible I had no clue what to do,
So with remorse I sent you to your demise before I knew you.

Disease of the Heart

Stranger by day, best friend by night,
Overwhelmed by conversation, loss of breath by your sight,
You slipped through my barricade smoother than any criminal,
We kept everything under wrap all flirtations were subliminal,

The love we had was dangerous, but never ceased to expand,
No matter what the risk, no matter what the cost at hand,
I should have taken the time to build my wall a little higher,
I was unequipped with the tools that this job required,

Sweet medicine to my heart, yet so poisonous to my life,
Making me lose my sense of self, disobeying my duties as a wife,
He slowly became my weakness while he doubled as my crutch,
I tried to drop him, find a replacement, but he was nonesuch,

Oh how the time would go by amongst this spiritual high,
You were my refuge, I could breathe and kiss my problems goodbye,
So unique, a gem of excellence, no one could compare,
Unaware how far we'd gone into this vast love affair,

So we paused; unsure of how to deal with it all, we broke,
My world collapsing down, I looked to you, and you choked,
Running around in the dark with no solution, I'm blinded,
Making excuses for my actions, but there's no morals behind it,

And now look at the place that we have ended,
A place where our thoughts and emotions become suspended,
Replacing love for like and leaving feelings at the door,
Forgetting every single detail our relationship once stood for,

Chemically composed we became physically exposed,
Intertwined in a way that neither one of us had ever chose,
Purely overrated, I was solely obligated, 
To put myself in check, believe these feelings were outdated,

The painful truth is within my heart will forever be engraved,
And to your spell I know I will forever be enslaved,
“ I've conditioned my heart to be yours forever”,
Thus the beautiful end to a lifelong love letter…..

A Stroke of Perfection

I sat in front of an empty canvass the other day,
Thinking of the perfect portrait in which I wanted to portray,
I began, and subconsciously I preceded to perfect my stroke,
Molding wonders until I hit a block, and my art began to choke,

Attempting to find myself within the collage of thoughts my brain created,
Getting weary though I watch my hands as they are unabated,
I try to consummate my masterpiece, but I lacked proper formation,
My creation was deficient without any present inspiration,

Though the colors were all of beauty, I found no amazement in my work,
I wanted to see the bigger picture, yet my eyes were consumed by murk,
I introverted the inner thoughts within my mind,
To grasp the feeling of a stunning work of art I'd hope to find,

Restrained by the idea of what I felt to be perfection,
Merely lacking understanding of my art's nonexistent affection,
As I meditate on my shortcomings the image is surely clear,
The raw emotion of my mental art is bigger than it appears,

As I alleviate my mind, I close my eyes to find a clue,
Mental images of your physical features start to cloud my view,
I chiseled jaw, facial hair, a coat of chocolate brown or two,
The perfect portrait lacks perfection without the image that is you.

The Depth of Distance

You couldn't begin to imagine the pain that I obtain from your absence,
Trying desperately to find the words, and yet my voice remains absent,
Visuals of what you are only witnessed within my computer,
My heart searches for her recruiter with no one there to recruit her,
Oh Captain my Captain with you I vowed to share my life,
The dreadful distance transformed this bitter soul into a loving wife,
I fear the bitter sound of silence each waking moment that you're gone,
Yet I grow stronger from every trial that we must come upon,
Insomnia commenced from your side of the bed I kept void,
My King will soon return, my sleepless nights far destroyed,
No time or distance shall ever keep us apart,
Come back to me love, come mend my broken heart...

Sos

Where did our love go within a week?

What happened to all the empty promises you promised you would keep?

I apologize if I did something to push you back,

I guess open communication is still a skill we often lack,

Yea, it’s pretty obvious that we’re slowly diverging,

And the bitter feelings I thought were killed off are now emerging,

And the many smiles and laughs we once shared have turned to silence,

So I let the agony of this distance be my spiritual guidance,

You owe me nothing since we never even established a title,

Were all my “I love you’s” just a waste, is my existence still vital?

Is my embrace still your comfort? Are my kisses still wanted? 

Are the dreams of our uncertain future life still undaunted?

Does my voice still excite you? Do you still treasure my smile? 

Or am I now faced with the bitter truth that I’ve gone out of style....

Either way I’m signaling for you, waving my heart up to the sky,

Hoping you see my S.O.S. without turning a blind eye.
