When my thoughts poke out like wires, this is the part I hate the most. When my vision should be complete, but the emotions need attention. When trouble finds you and consumes me, knowing we don’t want this. When exhausted and irritable after a long day, the circumstance make us angry. When the eyes of…

I have thought of many ways to kill you, beat you down, tear you up, cut you diagonally, and spit you across the room.       However, you were the one I touched not long ago, and the face I kissed before we parted ways, ours souls entwined forever in our dreams.   Now, …

I saw you to be around ten feet tall. Maybe, eleven on a good day and twelve on a great day. Let’s be honest with each other.  I wasn’t there for your supposed height. It’s your mystery that mattered. Your projected image in public. I suppose your shyness took over. You turned your back to…

Open the door and shove it inside. That’s where it should go. That’s where it will stay. Remaining in the dark. It grows. It contorts. It survives. It’s the ugly part I keep. Buried under my living conditions. Like a poisonous mushroom. I want it to be hidden. No one needs to see it. The…

We knew. You didn’t have to threaten us. The poison ran deep in our family blood. It left indents whenever your fingers moved up and down our arms. Hatred led your cracked hand to that full syringe. You can’t pretend destruction never existed within you. There was no amount of stitches to close what you…

There are many things that make you ask what the hell? But, if you want to be accurate, it should be written WHAT THE HELL? Some days you need to add behind it YOU STUPID IDIOT! And if you’re really feeling punchy, YOU STUPID, FUCKING IDIOT! But, this isn’t one of those times for you,…

I looked it in the eye Right in the middle It was deep and black. When the flesh softens And the bones are intact It waits and wants. What a pretty face Not an oblong shaped thing That takes different names. It isn’t for everyone But inevitability come with a mouth That sucks you in…

“Hang your head low, don’t look up,” those words were said to me. I had not the slightest idea what direction they came from, Or who said them. It’s not my time to disagree with the disagreeable, When my head hurts from all the living. As I made my way, I smelled the fires burning…

I knew you consumed me. You were on my mind. When my eyes closed, you prevented me from getting rest. I knew you wanted to be close, but familiarity is better than risk. Our glances no longer mean much today. The lines on my face have disappeared. When your last breath was taken, my imagination…

I know the itch I can’t reach. I know the one.  It’s on my back just far enough away. My fingers can’t get to it no matter how much I want to relieve it. I run to any person nearby to scratch it. She misunderstands me. I run to the next person, and he can’t…

I felt something as I turned the corner. Those around me never knew how much pain I felt. When something goes wrong, it doesn’t have to end in defeat. My team was counting on me.  I was counting on myself.  Quitting never was an option. I could taste the victory, yet still not able to…

Your long, flowing hair. I know you’re thinking about it. It’s not what should have been. Hundreds of years you’ve had it that way. I know you think it wrong. Hair grows back. I pray that it does. It must fit the mold. You realize that. Don’t have any fear. It’s been put to use.…

Dear lady of the night, I applaud you for all the things you haven’t given me, And those things you will yet give me. Thanking you enough for your hospitality cannot be done, For you keep giving me something I shouldn’t have. The hallways of your home have become my pathways to freedom. Don’t worry,…
