I rememberI still remember
The girl you flirted with
When we went on a break
And weren’t seeing other people.
Your friend told me
You were out on dates
With your ex
Baby momma.
(She took your profile pic
I used to stare at forever.)
He...

If he wanted toIf he wanted to,
He would.
At least
That’s what everyone says.
You spend your time
Defending someone
Who never tries
And is never there.
You’re on your knees,
Begging
And pleading
That he visit your house
(It’s what your parents want.)
There’s hope that he will,
But...

snooze and loseIn court, the accused
is produced and
charged with abuse,
no evidence is adduced,
the sentence is reduced,
he is not amused
to pay his dues
his name is in the news,
the public giving views
they have no clues
defense counsel does not...

titled(This time I've quoted my own poem titles. Everything in quotes is a title.)
"Dear reader," again, this monolog persists.
We're no longer "sparring" with figurative fists.

I Have Known PainI have known pain.
How to hide it as I live with it
Stuffed down
The muffled sound
Of objections to be silenced
It's latent trait subject to violence
I wait for grey skies
And hope that it will rain
So that my...

Back in the backwoods with your pretty little smile
You taunt me, teasing my heart, pulling...

CulpableWritten for Ink Empress' 'Unwritten Absence' Poetry Contest.
Your unwritten absence unravelled much
Disrobing piteously your impure intent
Starkly exposing a ravaged soul as such
Cocooned in dark yarns of deceit, I lay spent
In golden gilded cage...

Woe am I to whom your words have torn bits
Out from my heart only to smooth, console
Until I have again untangled wits.

Drilled into my heart by your darkened...

Not my choice Pt 2He met me
At my weakest point,
The first boy
To give me attention.
Maybe that’s why I fell for him.
Not for his charms,
His looks, or his laugh,

Not my choice Pt 1First times
are meant
To be special
Or so I wish.
With a lack
Of experience
And a timid
Demeanor,
I never learned
How to say no
To a person
That I liked.

Back on it now,
I think to myself,

nightmares,
screams because the
instigator never
letting go,
entrapping the victim

defending themselves as an

who now threatens my
safety and security.
Pain and torment over many years,
living like this...
