Innocence Gone

He had great disdain for her
Enough to eliminate
The soft parts of her
He never associated the bones
To the pale girl

Took a bite of me.
Chewed a while and spit me out.
Left me in a mess.

Crushed faces
Shattered hearts
Lifeless inside
Now apart
Joy became hatred
Love destroyed

And left a void

around my shoulders
and my waist.
I miss the way you look at me,
I miss the way
you taste.

A pang of sadness
for the old magnolia tree
cut down and paved over
to create a parking lot
behind the new beauty salon.

Expelled from its host
Where does immortal love go
Forsaken to roam
Soul chilling darkness and cold
Of its new eternal home

Snakes

Hearts beat like stars die,
Footprints are washing away.
Snakes uncoil,
Demons fly.
Save yourself,
No one is getting out alive.

into the depths of brown eyes

while actions said another

I long to be fooled again

uncertain tender shoots
beneath the snow
fear spring thaw

Seek no swap
Enhance your mental range
Love not for exchange.

My Unbreakable Heart

My heart was only made of glass
When you held it in your hands
But as soon as you let go
It was a strong, unbreakable

then drifted on high into the clouds and out of sight

Hold my hand and tie a noose
Close your eyes and let hang loose
Watch the world fall out of sight
And darling, hang with me tonight

Fake Love

A LOVE IN YOUR HEART

NOT PURE FROM THE VERY START

BECAUSE OF YOUR HATE

TO THE PERSON WHO HURT YOU

AND GAVE YOU THE GREATEST PAIN
