Eclipsed Eve Poem
Why are you back
Looking in the mirror and only seeing disdain
These things begin to taint my brain
Why are you back
Intrusive thoughts of severing skin
Again they begin
Why are you back
Inability to feel joy while surrounded by it
Numbness consuming me bit by bit
Why are you back
I told you to go
I knew you didn't want to; I felt the no
It reverberated through my bone
Leaving me feeling oh so hollow
But now you are back
And I feel everything that I lack
I feel it tenfold
And nothing can hold
Me together again
Sadness begins to pour
Over the edges of my soul
Drowning until I'm left in this blackhole
I'm scared. I'm scarred. My vision's gone black
All from the fear that you might be back.

Eclipsed Eve Poem
God works in whispers and slight nudges
Some choose to blast the music of the world
They drown Him out and claim He isn't there
They run away from Him tapping softly for attention
He follows
But not with screams and shouts and shoves
He doesn't work like that
If only we can learn to quiet our minds and lives to hear
His words of love and nudges reminding us of our path
He knocks on the door of our hearts
All we need to do is let Him in
Words, nudges, and knocks to remind us of our true home
Home with Him in eternal happiness

Eclipsed Eve Poem
I am mortified by the morbid reality of death
Of the fact that, on an uncertain day,
In an uncertain way,
We will all inevitably take our final breath.

Eclipsed Eve Poem
And as the numbers rise
So does the water
The waters of insecurities
That I am slowing drowning under

Eclipsed Eve Poem
How can you connect with someone who's just not there?
Like you can sense their presence but all it is is air
The life of a ghost isn't easy
No one notices when you begin to feel sick and queasy
You unwillingly lie with a smile
It takes a while
But you begin to feel the numb
Of the loneliness that you can't overcome
You start to accept that this is life
You are a ghost and here is your knife
It's blurry but you remember the girl with a smile
A true one that you haven't seen in a while
The life of a ghost is hard
You're a shell of the past, just a shard
You feel alone
Even when the voices follow you home
It's the curse
You've been getting worse
The waters rise
So you tell more lies
You try to get more out, try to say
That the words get stuck day after day
In the waters of pain
They drown words; I don't know what they gain
They feed on the soul
Who knows their goal
Where does it end?
How can you mend?
The truth is the life of a ghost is sad
But instead I'll say it's not that bad
You get used to it. Well, most
Hello to our new ghost

Eclipsed Eve Poem
I bring you to a place
Where between us
Is time and space
So far away
Though I wish it not
And always ahead a day
This place is loud
It's thunder claps
It's screams in a crowd
It's violent and bold
It's waves crashing
It's fire taking hold
It's quiet and shape
It's a dagger and a blade
It's haunting notes on a harp
It's thoughts screaming
It's silence deafening
It's tears on a cheek gleaming
It's crying all alone
While you are asleep
Pain felt in the bone
We fight alone
With the other's name in mind
But each in our respective home
It's separation across time and space
And somehow we must last
To one day, together, grace the same place

Eclipsed Eve Poem
There's a hole in my chest
My heart's flown away
My eyes tire from crying and crave rest
The hole burns all day
My world's gone sideways, now at a slant
I am missing my heart
But it stays with you while I can't
The pain leaves a flavor sour and tart
The feeling of a missing piece of me
Burns less than that of having lost you
I broke at picture of us in my gallery
I'll see you again but it feels far from view
I gave you my heart from the beginning
Despite the pain, I do not regret it a bit
Because while I can't hold you, losing and winning
My heart is with you through all of it

Eclipsed Eve Poem
As we grow, we start to green
Then they go from more to mean
They insist to see things we don't want seen

Eclipsed Eve Poem
He stares anywhere but my eyes
But boys will be boys and he's just a guy
I should smile and be happy
Because it means he likes what he sees
That's all that should matter to me
I shouldn't be greedy
Little girl, little girl
You don't know much about the real world
But little girls in this world learn faster and faster as numbers rise
and they get catcalled by guys
But things always change
Things always range
It starts with a whistle and a wink
Then things you couldn't even bare to think...
"She was only 14"
Is this where we've come to?
What do you mean?
That's too young
You all knew
Don't play dumb
That's too young even if she was ten years older
No one deserves to remember those handprints left cold below her shoulder
"But what was she wearing?"
How aren't you caring!
She was 14 for God's sake
With her friends at a dance
But her skirt was too short and her shirt went too low for him to keep it in his pants
He says "She was asking for it"
When did those words leave her lips?
Was it between "no more" and "stop it"?
Her heels were tall and her shirt was tight
But that does not give you the right
We are not for me; we are women
We know this should stop but the question is when
How many more will have to suffer through it
Before, as a society, we change it?
Girls are made of steel these days
We will not so easily bend to your ways
I wrote this to remind
We need to go back to being kind

Eclipsed Eve Poem
Away away away
Again I will say
Away away away
This is day after day
Away away away
I see blood dried on you
I know you forgive me
But when will you learn not to
When will you learn to flee
It's coming soon I see
I don't want it to hurt that day
These thoughts they plague me
That is why I say
Away away away
Again I will say
Away away away
This is day after day
Away away away
