Divorce
Do you remember how it felt? Do you know what it feels like to feel worthless, not enough, to question love? Do you remember not knowing how love was supposed to look because what you thought was love was completely shattered. No more two in one bed, no more two in one place. No more...

Crime of Sex
They called it short gratification— but I lost my soul in the trade. A moment’s pleasure, for a lifetime of emptiness, a spark that consumed the temple I once was. O Woman, your body is not desire’s playground— it is the chalice of divinity. If you fail to respect your sacred form, no man ever will. Each man you lie with, leaves an imprint upon your soul. And...

WELCOME TO THE SLAUGHTER
I didn’t want to light the flame, But damn, you handed me the match. We played a bitter little game— Now neither one can scratch the scratch. I offered peace, I begged, I tried, You laughed and chose the sword instead. So now the happy parts have died— I burned the photos in my head. The goal was never you or me, It somehow...

what more can be taken
What More Can Be Taken I came from a house where love never stayed, Where fists did the talking and kindness decayed. Where silence was safer than saying a word, And a child’s small heartbreak was never once heard. I ran to the bottle, to smoke and to fire, Chased numbness like peace, sank deep in the vile. Got locked in a...

Of Crows and Possums
Sitting on a long deck At a trailer In South Georgia Wind in the Pine Trees Reading Nathaniel Hawthorne My stomach is empty except for this longing and guilt A murder of Crows loudly soar through Creasing the boughs of the Pines It is only Them and I And Love that I left Love that I lost A hollow serenity settles in I pull at the Scarlet Letter Blazing on my chest Hester exposed As...

Words to You
I have an innocent fellow in me, I keep it hide from around me. He has no mind but only a heart, so pure, so delicate and innocent, I need to keep it away from all, world so wicked, intentions of devil. He needs faith; He speaks the truth, But around disguised in devil faith, And You did a dangerous thing. Assured him as...

Premium Member As This River Gives, Rock a Bye, Lyrics
As this river gives, not giving a damn Emptying out the lake of hate, I am This ecosystem dies, but was it alive? Just surviving on dreams that I kept inside Confusion fills me, deep as this hole The sinkhole depths mirror my soul No reflections to see, nothing left to find Just hollowing cries, and thoughts unkind Saturated tears, muddled in fears A...

With this demand you hoped to evoke in me the fear that made even your bones cold from exposer frail and bitter the sound they made as they rattled around at the knees. But You can not own even this for the words were not yours to speak of dissolution and disparities. and still you uttered such falsehoods an attempt to hurt...

Am I drowning?
Another conversation within myself. Another riddle within the spectrum of possibility. Wouldn't it be wise to search for someone in this moment of desperation? Fighting to wipe away these tears that wont keep. Standing in the rains of despair. The machine becomes obsolete. How to find clarity? Diluted fantasies? I know somewhere my questions cease transcending the mark that keeps them guessing. A fallible...

A Pound of Flesh
What is it that you need from me? - I pray that you do tell. For everything I've offered - hasn't gone over too well. Patience as you grow? - As you learn from your mistakes? No, that cannot be it - because you've never really changed. Could it be understanding? - For me...
