BECOMING ROBOTS

Do you ever feel like you have a million things to say to a hundred different people but you don’t because you are afraid they won’t hear you? They won’t care? They won’t understand? We are becoming words on a screen.  Body language is being left out. I can say I need help but you…

BATTLEFIELD H8

I hate someone. I am not proud of it. Hate is like a tick I can’t get rid of.  I don’t enjoy the feeling and I don’t like its all consuming nature. I have tried forgiving this person I hate for her careless judgements and her senseless attacks but it’s hard.  It is hard because…

IT’S IN THE PIECES

Our relationship wouldn’t last long I could see the end before it even began I knew that truth even as I held out my hand Your eyes were speaking volumes Damaged they said Handle with care they said Your words carefully guarded Small hesitant snippets here Carefully thought out sentiments there You need my help,…

YESTERDAY’S FACE

I wander through the hallways Straightening pictures that I took Smiling at the memories And every place we stood I’ll leave them hanging As I pack every single box There on the same wall With the same ticking clock I will leave the story written For others to erase Because I don’t have the heart…

UNENDING LOVE

A DANCE WITH SIN

Sins accent is thick and heavy Its eyes are dangerously dark It wears such a sexy smile The kind I dream about Sin begins to dance Taunting me with its sex Beautifully mesmerizing Its body whispering in the shadows Hands reaching for mine And just like that I am drawn into its arms It holds…
