Rotted Residence

Beige is the itch inside my head 
The dreary, drab walls I stay locked in

I’m a townhouse with a freshly painted facade,
But moldy wallpaper and carpets that are soaked with the stench of cigarette smoke  

I’m trapped in this house
Blinds nailed to the sills
Doors latched by keys long lost
Milk spoiled
And the fridge smells stale

I

Rotted Fruit

I sat staring at the rotted fruit

Smelt the fetid citric scent

The blackened bananas

And mould covered plums

The soggy pears say their time is done

And as I sit reflecting on the fruit

I think of how this seems an apt metaphor

For me and you

Once ripe and delicious in truth

But now past its best

And leaving behind an acrid smell

Of

Forgiveness Feels Like a Rotted Grave

Apologies have the potential to be sincere,
Forgiveness is rarely sincere or realistic,
With every mistake you bury yourself alive,
One more foot deeper than before,

You can feel your lungs collapsing as you gasp for a pitiful breath,
You pray to be released from the coffin where your broken relationship lies,
Facing endless torment and torture,
Never to be allowed the

Forgiveness Feels Like a Rotted Grave

We were sisters, but more like Cinderella and the ugly sister variety ...
and of course you always made me feel like I am the ugly one!

I’ve done so much for our parents for years
but you got all the glory ... and the privileges
A house, private college education, a car 
Enough money to open a bank!
You

Forgiveness Feels Like a Rotted Grave

Our love was like a fairytale dream,
the kind you read about in a romance novel;
we had it all, our future was bright;
who could ask for anything more.

And still you chose to have your tryst,
and toss our love to the wayward wind.

It was you who decided to walk out the door,
to cast the death knell on

Forgiveness Feels Like a Rotted Grave

She left him angry and alone

Broken and in despair

His heart a shredded bleeding mess

His feelings for her were bitter

They were toxic and cold

As he felt the knife she had driven

Deep within his lone dark soul

The taste of aspic poisonous and rife

Why had she destroyed him

Why did she tear him limb from limb

And yet deep within

- Forgiveness Feels Like a Rotted Grave -

For the person who waived
and lost something that was of value: forgiveness
Is it easier to get forgiveness than permission?
Admittedly, ghosts are also seen by highlights
Forgiveness requires a lot, it is a virtue to be able to forgive
Some have wandered around the earth like roaring lions

I refused to let myself be called coward without reason
But, no

Forgiveness Feels Like a Rotted Grave

“If you do not forgive
you bind them to your self.”
Words spoken
by the unknowing
to those who know
the death of self.
Demon’s be damned!!!
Come
commiserate with me.
Join me
around the fire
of scorched souls.
Carry this stain,
this fearful thing,
this death
of all that was
or might have been.
Resurrect your self
remake your broken soul
escape their rotted grave.

FORGIVENESS FEELS LIKE A ROTTED GRAVE

Some have said that forgiveness feels like a rotted grave.  Perhaps to some, that is true.  But allow me to share the feeling I receive through forgiveness.  Over my lifetime, I discovered that I had wrongfully hurt people along the way.  Then I discovered that I

Rotted Flesh Now I'M Blessed

ROTTED FLESH NOW I'M BLESSED

I’m of clay covered in filthy rags
I am just clay covered in filthy rags
Stinky, smelly, filthy flesh
I’m of clay and I’m here today
A hung of flesh soon too decay
Stinky, smelly, filthy flesh
In a sinner’s mess
Repented forgiven now I’m blessed

Rotted From the Inside

Rolling onward, toward the goal,
Only slowing for a moment.
Take the time, enjoy the roses
That is what I was told.
Everyone told me I did too much,
Did I heed advice, no.

Fear drove me, fear consumed me,
Razed the ambitions I had,
Only for a moment, I grasped at a glimmer,
Maybe, I thought, I could touch the intangible.

Terrible, liar, I
