The quiet moments Of my day Reveal the words I'd love to say More in the wings Than headline star Not quite goodbye More au revoir No end, just waiting At the start The work horse Eager for a cart A sense of purpose Nowhere to wander DNR For first responder It's kind of weird This sense of loss Yet beautiful Above the dross The ache a pill Just can't restore Quite satisfied Yet wanting more Suppose it's...

Sweating profusely while staring at six grams of pure pleasure on the coffee table. My stomach is deprived of relief two days going. My spoon gives the tea a burned taste that elevates my nausea. The nights feel longer as the days burn brighter. Depression is compassion in the time leading to the death of my former self....

A gutsy move to say the least, A desperate reach to say the most. There's nothing I can say right now, If I'm to meet my greatest ghost. This feeling of the ending near, Yet I can't seem to lift my hand. My pores secreting this iced fire, How was this ever what God had planned? Sinister music heard in the background, As...

And on a rainy morning he swore resenting Driving me to physical therapy, And before the settlement,...

Alone. Screaming in agony Out loud and also in my brain Turn it off. Phase it out GIve me something for the pain Writhing under the sweat stained sheets Trembling, shaking out of control Can’t get up. Can’t make sense How did this destroy my soul?

You come in as submissive My inner circle you dominate Blood line circulate never ovulates One silly move you in it for weeks I meditate your lust My past I garden you to die Water you to drown Milk it my bones will carry me Breathe, weed, smoke, air was always air Lifeless solutions you benefit I live...

Here everybody drains the swamp The chunks of toxic glitter And brazen meat Intelligible only to the daunted fool Who filled it so Pour the acid wash Of peace and indulgence To cleanse the slop o’ plenty Time for mixes and fixes That clear paths meant For hot-air balloon rides The kind that tussle deep in minds Your liquid child Who gulps, swallows and bears The scorekeeper’s duties Flits to...

Giving up her dreams of a husband and a family of her own some day. Setting her standards higher as she tries to save face. Crying herself to sleep. Longing to...
