She handed him her bible,
told him their forever depended upon him,
and slipped away.
Defeated, she finally asked,
"Do you believe in miracles?"
"Of course. I believe in you."
She was sick of lemonade kisses-
sloppy mouths pressed together craving hints of summer sweetness.
Dreary loneliness
sealed away at wedding's kiss.
Two lovers share
Long-awaited night of bliss.
Through all the hurt and neglect, I never stopped loving him; and that scares me.
There were no words between us, just his arms as his hands seized my throat again.
Following
Dainty
Footprints
Stamped
Into
Mulch
Reaching
To
The
Murky
Lake,
Water
Was
Stagnant.
That dog-walker has a gun in his pocket
Someone watches me through the crack in my blinds.
Fill, fill, fill the hole
Level it with the ground
Tap, tap, tap the top
The body won't be found
The cat leaps from the dumpster, green eyes glowing. A pet cat once shared my life, but not like this.
