Toxicity

Toxicity

Trusted with this physical being

Responsibility to protect the mind, and the body

Hearts connected, through vulnerability

To the touch, pleasured

The voice, pleasing

The quiet, all words are heard

Actions, speak loyalty

Treatment brings clarity

Dominance provokes security

Family intermingled

Emotions intertwined in a dream

The goal, to live a lavish li...

Wrinkles

Wrinkles tell a story

Blue spider veins protruding

A ginger walk

Eyes that are piercing

Wiser, with wisdom

Weak body, quip mind

Survival through the changing tides

Delicate hands

Love that’s morphed, as life evolved

Exemplary Role Model

Resilience to any pain cast upon

A plethora of great memories

Stronger than most

Knowledgeable by way of experience

Leade...

Shadow

Standing behind you

I’ve become your shadow

All of my emotions invested in you

Your part time lover, and I’m in love with you

I’m the other woman, I’m your shadow

Standing behind you, capsulated inside your dark shadow

I’ve settled for this, and I know better than this

Your words have no meaning, each one is a lie

Falsely, I want to believe in you

My time, only a mere co...

At that Time

At that point in life, no visionary could say, this love wasn’t a true need

Looking back at the past, reliving the memories in old pictures

Our smiles tell the story of love, but the heart spoke a different language

Everything divulged in the relationship, trying to be a symbolism of the rock glimmering on the ring finger

Every ounce spent trying to become a perfectionist, struggling t...

Baby Girl

On a path of self destruction

Late night partying, drugs, and too many days that can’t be remembered

Drowning in the deep end

Consumed with the uncertainty of not knowing what to be

Simply not knowing how to be

Finding love in various broken ways

In the arms of the unwanted, in several friendships based on convenience

Unable to call out for help, due to stubborn pride

Than ...

Little Sisters

Little Sisters

A deep love inside my heart that will always stay

You were so little, and I wanted to guide the way

Still unsure of life’s daily battles, I’d still chose to protect you with all of my being

I’d make troublesome mistakes that I didn’t want you to see, but as sisters you never stopped believing

Age did not matter, the both of you still my very best friend

Holding you...

Lost without you

Immense amount of pain

A loss of everything, that was to be a gain

Guilt stricken, that resides in the depths of the soul

Able to crave with a heightened sense of emotion

This devastation was not suppose to be in life’s potion

Inside feeling the sudden pitter patter

Now all preparations do not matter

Building a home with the foundation of joy

Every object a reminder of the ...

Beat me

Beat me. Black and blue

What, happened to you?

Tangled in love.

Beat me. Black and blue

Once crippled by happiness

Beat me. Black and blue

 

Beat me. Black and blue

Consumed in love

intertwined in chaos

Whatever, happened to us?

Beat me. Black and blue

 

Beat me. Black and blue

Once protection, now simply fear

Justifying brutal actions, with one single ...

What is today?

I woke up today, somehow no different than the last

 

Although twenty plus years have passed

 

I’m still a little girl broken on the inside

 

I’m dreaming now, wishing for my eyes to open wide

 

I see you, in a white light with a aura that exudes a sense of relief

 

I see your happiness, but I’m still sensing my own bitter sadness

 

I realize today is just anoth...
