The Co-dependent

Opening the door onto your secret,
my heart pounds at the display of old wounds. 
Healing achieved by clinging to nothing—
a future only obliquely glimpsed.

My heart pounds at the display of old wounds
where other’s careless words and barbs had pierced.
A future only obliquely glimpsed
through a whiskey bottle nearly empty.

Where other’s careless words and barbs had pierced,
going

Person Dependent

There's a stuffed animal
that sits in the kid's
corner of the coffee shop
closest to my house.
It seems like a dog,
but it's wrapped head
to tail in what appear
to be bandages. 
A mummified canine. 
I used to think
this oddity was a bizarre
choice for a kid's toy, 
but I think I understand it
now.
Behind the screen
of a body cast, he's
a

The Intelligence We Evince

The intelligence men evince
Is what should others convince
That they have been working hard since,
Now and again, from sure pains wince;
Not Radiance of the king's Clarence:
The White Dependent on Black Prince
But Legendary Night Nurse Florence
Whose story still place hands on chins...

The intelligence we evince
Should make us, if need be, words mince,
To, later, our stained lips rinse:
Like

Game

all this while
I had been knocking at your door
waiting for you to traverse the space
from your locked room to the door front 
take the keys from the door side table 
and let me in

and all this while
in being the knocker
I forgot to lock my home
the doors were wide ajar
the windows un-hatched,
you’d raided all of it.

Don'T Be Dependent On Anything

Don't be dependent on anything 

Feel it use it but be wise 
What is sweet kills easily
The sweeter the killer 


Feel it use it but be wise 
Don't be carried away 
By the sweetness of life 
Life is sweet but it  need control
Self control matters 
If truly you need to grow up 


Feel it

Dependent On a Man

I had a niece named Karen who
at twenty has mapped out a plan
for a 'strong, independent life',
she’d be 'dependent on no man.'

And, oh, she took such pride in that,
her college had made her this way,
but badmouthing men for the past
seems quite dumb, so I had my say:

“While I cannot disagree that
women once needed men to

Dramatic Attachment

Sweet when it's convenient
Taste as I'm obedient
Starve me like when I'm too busy to come home and feed my cat for a day, She will live
Love me when I'm near and forget me when I'm far, yet I am the distant one
The dependent one
The one who can't sleep at night as I pray for scraps

Being Dependent Upon Jesus His Source

Being Dependent Upon
Jesus, His Source.
By: Tom Wright

The stranger at the well,
having a broken vessel,
sides and top,
Related to me his story
and could not stop.
I come to draw this water
not to store,
But to drink as needed daily
to quench my thirst.
Always returning at other times
to drink the more,
Often drinking until I fear
I'll burst.
With vessel new,
I came but thrice

Destitute

Everywhere she goes the grass is greener
And all the time I doze in my misdemeanor 
Her eyes can make the sun come out
And I have fun just wandering about
When the sky is dark and the ground all mucky
She lays on the ground as if she's lucky
In spite of all my meaningless fear
She can make it

When I Came To the End of Me

When I came to the end of me
and stopped trying to fix it by myself mentality
in desperation I would cry out to my Father
hoping that He would answer when He saw me now on my knees.

For if I chose to humble myself 
under the mighty hand of God 
and I did come with meekness humility

Co-Dependent Confinement

Picture a man and a woman naked side by side, 
chains wrapped loosely around their necks 
attached not to each other, but to the familiar horned beast that towers over them. 
To others it appears obvious they could easily abdicate, however the couple does not view the same landscape
They stay comfortably bound to the monster

Dependent On You

The only way to define it is
Co-dependent confinement
The earth off it's axis
The planets out of alignment
all this time spent in silence
of my constant reliance 
I'm in need of some guidance
out of your hypnotic trance
at first glance
the roads all lead to pain
I'm too used to being a dispensable pawn
in your twisted chess game
what do you have

Completely Dependent On You

I hang from the strings I tied to you
that I’m too afraid to cut;
too afraid to tug on
when you can’t feel my weight.
I'll cut myself some slack,
only for you to pluck at them once more.
The strings are thinning out;
I'm thinning out. 
Please do not let the strings break,
for I break with them.

Dependent

Emotions, carried by the wind,
Get through the mind,
Accumulate in heart - make me dependent.
