You walk within walls as a freak of flesh

Never once, did I relate to you in visceral mesh

Who will I ever tell? Whoever it may be

That I used to wake up crying from this memory

Unknowingly, I seduced a beast

An understatement, to say the least

The anguish is deep in my soul

To shatter it was your only goal

Your heart is carved of arctic stone

That’s how you made me feel lost & alone

You took my innocence & feeling of safety

My ability to trust and changed my intimacy

I ink my scars with a ballpoint pen

Get over it? I still don’t know when

At three, zero, zero, you made up your mind

An action that forgiveness will never find

You tore me apart for your own joy

Broke me down, throwing me just like a toy

You had one too many drinks that night

These are the words I feared to write

You pulled the covers over and whispered in my ears

Never caring how made me feel, it appears

I believed your lies and the love you pretended to share

As the last person left, I thought you did care

I want to believe that things will get better

Because all you are to me, is a dead letter

I may stumble, fall and have all my flaws

But it’s better than being held in your jaws

You will never know all the nights I cried

All the dreams I had, hoping you had died

It only took one time and that single kiss

For what it’s worth, that, I will never miss

Forget about boys. You are worth more than a broken heart from who only wants you temporarily. You no longer have to be afraid to embrace who you are. You are a beautiful soul, goddess, life force. Embrace your identity and live in your truth. Your ambitions are bigger than the opinion of someone who thinks they know you. In reality, they never have. You're beautiful, step into it.

He changed

I saw it in his eyes

I felt it in his touch

I heard it in his voice

He is not the same,

But maybe he never was

Today or tomorrow

Crimson will begin to show

Dancing in the autumn sun

The falling of leaves has begun

Leaves are on the street

Leaves are at my feet

Fluttering down from trees

Swept off by a strong breeze

There's a storm I'm creating

The fire burns within my eyes

I grew up resenting & hating

Among these stars in the skies

Lay me down & serenade me

Sing me the sweetest lullaby

It makes me feel wonderful, free &

Apart of the stars in the sky

When I'm not feeling strong

The thunder of your storm empowers me

You never prove me wrong

You know how to break me free

She loves herself in countless forms

She comes back to herself through many storms

Her heart knows things her mind can't explain

Her empathy can heal your heart and take away pain

She is comfortable in her own skin

She unconditionally embraces the wild within

It's anything but a dream

Everything, it may seem

You've stolen my heart

Only once, from the start

We were only young

The same song was sung

'You'll grow out of this'

'Stealing only but a kiss'

We've fought, we've lost

Loved one another at a cost

Twelve years

Twice as many tears

We lost ourselves out there

Life has been anything but fair

We've brought calm to the storm

And taken what we have to transform

A soul mate

The opening of a gate

To suggesting the possiblity

That it could be something more than civility

But, a twin flame

The feelings were the same

What we have after all

Is nothing but beautiful

Lost and found

We knew we'd come around

It will never be a phase

Only, forever and always

They sat in silence, both unsure of what to say

The silence was not what would keep me all day

It was the sparkle from the depths of his gaze

The strength of my heartbeat growing in size

It was the endless feeling of the now

The touch of a wordless vow

Some things are just perfectly simple

As watching him smile with his prominent dimple

Some things you know the answer to

Like how much you could put yourself through

Souls don't speak, yet ours spoke fluently

We are only but flesh, standing congruently

You are the poem I never knew how to write

You stole my heart from the first sight

When your heart knows, it knows

That feeling naturally flows

Her life stands in uniformity

She will not be caged by conformity

Her visions release a prophetic dream

A separation of light and dark by a seam

Every night she prays

'inside these  empty walls

let me see the light'

With each passing day, her hope slowly fades

She swallows the dark and it cuts like blades

She is but a vessel for her foolish ways

The life she leads seems nothing but a daze

Her feet & desperation learn another route

She has nothing stopping her than lingering self-doubt

Remembering that life is about how to thrive

Touched by the sunlight, her corpse comes alive
