The Cold Hutch
Living in the sunless cold hutch of till death do us apart, sits a chipping soul. Never had he thought she did be a blotch of many shades. Spitting and pouring scorn on his dreams of a happy home. “What? Are you even a man? Your mates are out there...”...

Again
I’ve been here before Before the cruel reality reappeared Shattering your warm embrace War rages between us Bloody secrets strewn through the night sky “It’ll be okay” But a white lie is still a lie You shine Bright as ever the center Of my universe My northern star, I always find my way back to you. Stars burn. I ignite Burn away into the starry night A mortal and...

Toxic Relationship at its finest
Shoot me down. Say your worst. Stupid and dumb, I heard it all. With a vengeance, you even called me a bad mom It's louder and louder. The neighbors can hear. I'm just stunned, stuck like a deer. The triggers inside of me. I hold back tears, and I can't even see. Let me catch my breath. You sucked the life out of me. You...

linger
I ripped the skin off my fingers, I didn’t want a fingerprint that had touched you to linger. You could never deserve the feeling that my fingers could grace your skin, spat out your kisses as if I didn’t love the taste of toxicity that dribbled down my chin. Never known a love to stay,...

Unbalanced
We play and then fight I'm wrong and you're right You're happy I'm sad I'm content and you're mad You're hot and I'm cold I'm yes and you're no We go up and then down You swim while I drown I'm short and you're tall You stand as I fall I'm young and you're old You're fast and I'm slow I'm weak...

Used To Be Love
He started off patient, He used to be kind, What she didn't know? He told her pretty lies. Anything, everything he knew would capture her like some prize to be won. He got her with charm. He smiled, played the card. 'Vulnerability'. Went for the heart she wore on her sleeve. Held it in his hand and crushed it on the spot. He won it fair, but his was elsewhere. He...

Phone Booth
Your "I love you" is like a noose And your touch is a touch too cruel You swore you'd treat me apple pie sweet I should've tasted the cyanide Known you were killing me But now you're all stuck In my lungs Cigarette smoke It's a slow choke You'll never let me free or Leave me alone Goodbye love I'm hanging up the phone...

Abhor
Your ocean waves have, Beaten me down, Across the rocky shore, As I lay facedown, Thinking about our lore, How nothing I did, Seemed to even the imaginary score, Nothing I ever did, Seem to matter to you anymore. My stomach will always be, Too soft for you, My presence will always be, Too grating for you, My love will always...

Love For a Stranger
LOVE FOR A STRANGER How can I love a stranger? Just when I laid my eyes on him Before even talking to him I had an immediate connection with him the moment we met A connection so strong that I was drawn to him in a way I never felt before As the days turned into weeks and weeks into months I...

Behind Bars
Eff around And find out. Freedom don’t come easy. The steel bar resort Ain’t no place to be,. But, eff if I know, I ain’t ever been to jail. Should have been, But I got lucky. Toothpaste on the walls, To hold up the memories. Watch how you talk, Or it’ll be your back against the wall And you’ll be just someone’s memory. One hour outdoors, Privilege ain’t easy, It’s...

Codependency
I need you to need me, So I can be happy. I just want to help, Let me love you, Let me care for you. Please, Don't hate me. I just want to make you happy. I’ll be yours for as long as you'll have me. Forever, infinity, You’ll be my always, For as short as that may be. I’ll be your dime piece For as long...

Ocean
Your mind is like an ocean Beautiful, yet unpredictable One minute you're caressing me with gentle waves The next you're drowning me in whirlpools I don't want to get sucked in But your mind intrigues me I never know what to expect Tidal waves? Tsunamis? Right now I feel a gentle breeze The sun dances in your eyes, reflecting the crystal clear waters But is...

Posion
You pulled apples from the tree. A tree that was not yours or mine. “They aren’t ours to take. Let’s go,” I plead. But you just threw a smile at me that was so divine. I couldn’t say no when you look at me with that shine in your eyes. So, I grabbed your hand as we slowly walked away- Bug eaten...
