Dear Dad

Anxiety crawls in my mind, 
Shame and guilt combine,
To make internal distress,
Caused by your mess
Mixed with a little alcohol
And then you get the rest.
F*** you for making me bawl.
These days I don’t feel like living at all, 
Due to fear you’ve placed in me,
I’m trying to stay above the water,
But you’re pouring more and drowning your daughter.
Just put down the bottle please, 
Addiction is the disease. 
Stop blaming me. 
Your mind games, I’m done. 
This pattern of dust and destruction, im begging,
Someone. 
Chance after chance,
You keep returning to, 
A cat and mouse dance,
Staring, you. 
This rope of lies you tangled around my throat,
Paralyzes my will to fight. 
Freedom is the antidote. 
Instead I stare in the eyes of what I fear most,
Your selfish,
Manipulative, 
Scathing
Ghost.

Internal Conflict

My thoughts of you turn in my head.
How do I move on?
When you did so quick?
I want to move on, I really do.
But God, you.
You haunt me.
You tie my wrists.
I want to want him.
But you fight my fists.
Beat me,
Bruise me,
Call me unworthy.
He thinks I’m worthy.
But you once did too.
Liar, Liar.
Why can’t I just love?
You turn my mind inside out,
And beat me, my love.
You will consume my thoughts,
and make me fear him.
He can’t be you.
No, he wouldn’t hurt me like you did.

Dearest Lover

It’s addicting.
You pull me back in again and again.
I need you.
I try to run
And you grab my cut up wrists,
Pulling me back under.
Breathe.
Cut.
Breathe.
Cut.
The words pulse through my weapon as I lay it down.
The pain rips red through my veins.
The sting brings happiness.
Confusing, tortuous happiness.
Let my world fall around me.
It doesn’t matter.
The pleasure of the pain builds the walls up
As my world crumbles.
I fall back into your loving arms.
You have been there,
Throughout the light and dark,
The blood streaks as comfort.
I can’t not control the control I feel with you upon my thigh.
No one understands me like you do, 
my dearest lover.

The Fire Inside

The Fire Inside,
Makes me stronger.
I am happier.
I am braver.
I am resilient.
Because of The Fire Inside.
You can not destroy 
The one with the angel’s wings.
I will fight for myself.
I will fight for others.
I will fight,
Until my last breath.
The Fire is empowerment.
I am me,
And no one will take that from me. 
Time will tell,
The fire that grows,
In my soul,
Will be more powerful.
You tried to burn out the fire.
But the flame grows
In amidst of overcoming it. 
Take me down,
And I will return.
Stronger.

Heartbroken

I’m not yours anymore.
I never was
And I never will be.
You said you loved me
But what do I know?
You break glass,
And blame it on me.

The final bow,
The last rose,
I realized,
I’m not over you.
You haven’t given me my heart back,
But you’re long gone.

It’s over.
It’s been over.
But you’re there.
You are always there.
You walked out on me.

Your anger stained my skin.
It’s there even when the mark is long gone. 
I’m not innocent anymore.
Thanks to you.
I forgot what is was like to miss you.

I remember the beautiful parts of you.
I just don’t understand.
How can I still love you,
When all you did was destroy me.

64

64 days since you last spoke to me.
Or even looked at me.
I am nothing now,
Simply the one you played
Upon your chair, you liar.

How dare you
Make me fall for you, in that way.
To touch me like that,
To love me like that,
To throw me aside like that.

How dare you
Tell me you love me so
But your love was not of soul and heart.
You crave objects to dance for you.
You pulled my strings, and I lost everything.

You’ve harden my heart, oh deceitful snake.
You remorse not, my love aches.

64 days my love, my desire.
Since you played your game. Admire,
Your tricks of trade.

64 days from my other.

64 days without you stronger

Flashback

Your touch.
Your love.
Your voice.

Comes back to me
in flashbacks.

Your pain.
Your hungry gaze.
Your possessiveness.

Comes back to me
in flashbacks.

Your anger.
Your guilt.
Your power.

Comes back to me
in flashbacks.

My brokenness.
My pain.
My memory.

Comes back to me,
In flashbacks.

Abuse-- Pick a Topic: Heartbreak and Loss

December 1st 2017

Best friend.
Car drive.
Mental illness.
Love subside.

First kiss.
First touch.
First love.
First f**k.

Ripped clothes.
Bruises blue.
I’m sorrys
And I Love Yous.

All fights
Fire and ice.
Stubborn love
No patience can suffice.

Dirty secrets.
Broken past.
S***ty lies
Damaged everlast.

Fake promises
Blaming games
Complications
Open veins.

Soulmate.
Other half.
Twin flames.
What a laugh.

Broken heart.
Anger rage
One last bruise
Then You Left The Stage.

Back To the Start

Forever connected,
We are,
One,
In two bodies.
Let’s go back to the start.
When I didn’t know you,
And you didn’t, me.
It is the beginning,
Where I found you.
Take me back,
To the time I didn’t know you.
Forever connected,
Even before that day.
Let’s start over.
Before I loved you.
I was yours.
Let’s go back to the start;
You take me back to the start.
The path before us,
Next time,
I’ll turn away.

A Letter To You

I miss you.
God do I miss you.
I love you.
God do I love you.
Maybe what happened didn’t actually happen.
Maybe you never did:
Throw that book,
Or push me against that wall,
And yelled that it was my fault.
Maybe you really did love me.
And you didn’t mean it like you said.
Maybe I had actually said yes,
Not out of fear,
But love, like you said.
I miss your laugh, your crude jokes,
I miss our plans for a future, 
us protecting each other, 
and loving each other
when we couldn’t
ourselves.
But God did we fight.
God did I scream at you, and you at me.
I was scared of you.
You were a new person each second.
Would you love me this second?
And try to kill me in the next?
Maybe this is my own creation,
and I left you, instead of you
Leaving me.
But either way,
God do I miss you.
