Harassment at home
At 7 she is at her father’s mercy She will be shown no mercy A life with absolutely no love She will be like a lonely dove Sitting in the nest Doing her best She will never taste true love She will never be as free as a dove Being groped and touched by her dad Is a life that is so very sad She...

If Someone Had Stayed
Everyone slept after spilling their pain into arms that held them without asking, while I sat wide awake, longing for someone who never came to ask me how I was holding myself together. If only someone had been mine, maybe sleep would’ve held me too. But every time I get close— they remind me gently, cruelly, that solitude stings less than love that leaves mid-sentence. I...

Bestie became enemy
?? "Bestie Became Enemy" Bestie became enemy, sharp like a knife, I never thought you'd cut me out of your life. I gave you my secrets, my soul, my trust, Now all that's left is broken dust. You knew my pain, you held my hand, I thought you'd always understand. But jealousy grew where love should stay, And now your kindness fades...

Premium Member COUNCIL OF WHISPERERS
COUNCIL OF WHISPERERS they gather— the council of whisperers. their tongues are like daggers, sharp and jagged. distorted by the lens of others’ eyes, each word, a falsehood, an inuendo. they script the downfall, a play of betrayal where the protagonist stumbles. they do...

Dulcet whispers, pairs of three, Enact a dangerous dance. What on earth is eternal? Springing up from her stupor, Tosses her ceremony- Golden ring of fantasy. Truth tastes like sun in her throat....

DIVINE DIVERSIONS
The devil couldn’t reach me, so he sent diversions in the form I desired most. He wrapped lies in laughter, gave them cute faces, glittered them up like gold. And I forgot, sometimes a wound wears jewels, sometimes danger looks like everything you ever prayed for. So I fell for it. I wasn’t the sun in their day, nor the star in their...

How much do you love
Do you still love me Jehovah. If you do, why are my troblems so many. Why are my enemies like the grains of the sand. Why is calamity my predator. I am afraid to chose, to talk, and to act because the repocussion is like an untimely bomb. I chose to serve you, and yet...

I Am Not Yours to Shape
I am the river, wild and wide, Not yours to dam, not yours to guide. You cast your stones, but I still flow— A deeper truth than you can know. The wind does not explain its flight, Nor asks permission for its height. So why should I, with open skies, Bow low to soothe your jealous eye's You lied with ease, then turned...

Premium Member The Twine that Binds
Out of my mind and lost in time Holding on to a love unkind Unwind the twine that cruelly binds Me to my severed valentine Her voice still calls through echoing halls As madness clings to crumbling walls All consumed in lingering perfume Her presence like a ghost haunting this room. Left behind—a love consigned A fantasy born within my mind She gave...

The Dagger
I’m reminded of you in everything and everywhere. You’re the coolest thing for the eyes to see. The most beautifully crafted piece in the collection. The harmless object when it’s inside its box. I see you in the sharpness of everything and everywhere. You’re the scariest thing for the heart. The deadliest weapon for the soul. The...

Premium Member The Hollow of Farewell
Watching the empty streets As a heavy rain wash the dirty town. Deep darkness drape the drives That lead to dead ends. Drafts of wind dash hanging pots, Ruin is the reign of the time. She barely breathed a farewell. No whisper weaving a soft adieu Not even a hug or a parting kiss. My heart echoes a hollow hum. It beats like the harsh...
