Destructive Poems

The World's Most Destructive Chemical Experiment

The feel of a touch, 
the sound of a cry, 
the joy of hello, 
the sorrow of 
goodbye. 

We entangle, we combine 
we fall apart -
but in the end, 
we get up and 
we try, try, try, 

to form a connection 
that doesn't end in absence. 

It all ends 
for those already absent. 

Be present,

Your girl forever

Dress a girl a letter,
Printing numbers on her back.
Buy her flowers,
Give her powers,
Wrapping poison round her neck.
One day she’ll leave you,
She’ll deceive you,
And you’ll be better off dead.

So, you won’t get far with that head
Unless you break your neck

And yet you still ask to the sun
If the moon has won,
If the war has really ended
Or

Destructive Solitude

One foot stuck in the tar pits of my way,
A fossil forming with time,
Me and my nibbling conscience,
Sinking slowly but it’s mine,
Whispers like razors,

It’s trouble, the way that i’m jogging 
Chasing shadows far into the night,
Every step a hopeless confession,
Nothings going save me or stop it,

A runaway rhythm,
The horizon taunts, distant but sure,
But my feet

If you think climate change destructive

As powerful as the forces of nature are,
There will be humans who adapt an survive,
Until balance is restored in the eco-system.

The wind can calm itself,
Water will recede from flooded areas,
New growth comes after volcanos become dormant,
Fires will burn themselves out,
Earthquakes only result in better building techniques,
Ensuring more people survive them, 
And even if mankind through

Premium MemberGlobal Warming

The windows are boarded up in preparation for the storm
A weather event of this intensity is becoming the norm
Global warming continues to find a way to rule the day
For the planet to survive we must all strive to do things in a different way
If we could just drive a little less, recycle a little more,

Self Destructive

I'm self destructive a ticking time bomb
I'm impatient and impulsive with a lot of feelings
Mixed into  a delicious cocktail so sweet and creamy
sure does taste good at first but after so many sips of me
I'm too intense for you too heavy on you
now you put me down thinking I'm not good for you

Self Destructive Wickedness Arrested, Convicted, and Gaoled

Self destructive wickedness arrested, convicted, and gaoled...

with kidnapping little boy 
ordered to suffer
life sentence without parole.

The deadly scourge of  
one obsessive/compulsive disorder
nearly left me starving to death.

Anorexia nervosa absent bulimia 
nadir of onset 
diagnoses schizoid personality disorder 
severe social anxiety still legion I aire
behavior which agonizingly 
elicited slow suicide 
courtesy self starvation

Selective Memory's Destructive Power

Through the fog of time, memories fade, 
Selectively, they dance, a masquerade.
They choose the fragments, both light and dark, 
A tapestry woven with a heartless spark.

Tenderness vanishes, like morning dew, 
Only scars remain, vivid and true.
Forgetting laughter, joy, and embrace, 
Selectivity memory breeds a barren space.

A weapon disguised in forgetful guise, 
Tearing apart bonds with

Addicted

Afraid of letting go
Destruction I have caused
Damaging my body
Illegal behavior 
Convincing myself it’s okay
Toxic life choices
Estranged I have become 
Denying the truth

That I am Addicted.

Self Serving Destructive Sociopath

a sociopath
selfserving and destructive
egotistical

God gargantuan
favorite of mine has been
at end say Amen

snow fell on shoulder
could cause him to be colder
when he was older

reminds me of them
handsome looking very trim
happy never grim

Holy Destructive

She gathers her child
With switch in hand
To hurt her bottom
Til she understands

He places a needle in vein
Just to end the pain

They monitor every move
Waiting for a crack to appear
The Kingpin moves with ease
Confident they will hear

Good God Almighty sits on His throne
Watching them fly their drone

Many say that everyone gives up on them. The sad reality, is that all to often, this is painfully true.
But then, you find someone. Someone different. Someone who has endured more for you than anyone else has. Someone who has over & over proven to be true to you. Someone who has proven to be
