I remember her from my daycare
Not even sure if I was yet in underwear
She had blue eyes and blonde hair
I guess I was dab and debonair.
From the first day we began to play blocks
We hit the point of stealing each others socks
I could tell it was heating up
Because she drank from my spill free cup!!
At days end we were lining up at the door
She jumped in front of me as she had done before.
Then it happened, it happened so fast
It was a magical moment from my wee little past
She bent slightly forward, eyes closed, puckered lips…
I thought what is wrong with her face and hips
I did not see it coming just thought something was amiss
But she ended my day and started my life with my first kiss.
Now this tale might be a little tall
But so was everything when I was small
Her name was Shanna and it did happen in daycare
So my story is not too tall from there.

How can one capture
Life's bitter sweet laughter
Wrap tightly in a box
No keys no locks.
From safe to sound
To no evil bound
For those chains don't exist
Misery left standing pissed.
This is my dream
Where I never scream.
If only it were real
But I awake a haunting chill.
Bitter sweet reality
Slams right through me.
With open arms misery waits
For my soul she takes.

How do you
Put in words
The poison that
Spills inside
Filling your heart
Untill it bursts.
No more tears
Left to cry
Fighting a war
you can not win
in a nightmare
That will never die.
Empty eyes have
No reflection
Not much left
Before I break.
Falling fast with
No protection.
Consuming all
That you are
Growing deeper
Within
Alone...you bare
The battle scar.
