Gone Girl.....

That razor blade
Is her paint brush/
That canvas... Is her wrist
Her rush
Of blood/ To her head/
Means/
She's been painting deep into her flesh!.....

Her pain is still aching/
Her hands dripping with blood
She couldnt stop shaking/
That Paint brush...

But my heart was so heavy, my tongue cleaved  
To the roof of my mouth and it felt as though 
Something has fallen through the roof

These were letters written in tablets of blood
We wrote the pains of yesterday today wittily 
On this seaside of swaying embargo of tablets

Between a broken home/
And an empty grave/
Lies a lovestruck soul/
That nobody saved/
Not a rotting corpse/
Or a ghostly dream/
Something from nightmares/
And the in between/
between a promise broke/
and a romance lost/
Lies a trace of hope/
with infinite cost/

In searching for a heart of gold, 
with standards higher than I deserve.

That cold February night that the wife walked out on me.

just chips and egg crates in front the Playstation.

With visions of you that I carry when you were still at home
I await daily to feel your...

Here we go 
again
No room left to 
pretend

The word 'love'
Is just junk
It's meant to 
cover up

The scars and 
the bruises
Of fights day 
and night
The mental 
abuses
It just isn't right

Surviving 
together
In this torture 
room
This shattered 
home
Can...

They divorced in the late sixties
I was young, just turning ten and listening
To their arguments, their disagreements
Revealing words that I knew were injurious

They walked away from each other
Determined to find… a new way, a new...

A LASTING MARRIAGE

As you look back in time to the day you said, “I do,”
You didn’t know back then the things you would go through.

“For...

Never want my kids to see what I have seen
Little girls dreams broken at the seams
They say kids don’t remember the bad things
My childhood is made up of the sad songs that people sing
Grew up...

Once upon a stranger
A girl A well intentioned woman
With open and adorned soul
Askance behind silvered eyes and sighs,

Revealing her concealed seraphic smiles
In an unending sequence.
Yielded in gleams in day dreams,
With folklores and odes chronicling her...

Dear Daddy,
 
I remember when I was little,
 
there was nothing I looked forward to more,
 
than dinnertime coming around,
 
and hearing your voice at the door.
 
Everyone always knew you were my world,
