The Worst Caregiver in the WorldI watched my sister fading away.
She did as she was told
Day after miserable day.
Do this, don't do that,
It's bad for you, good for you,
Mustn't get fat.
Could Nurse Ratched not see
The harm that she caused?
The pain she inflicted
Gave me pause.
Play by the rules,
Sound advice for some fools,
But not for this one.
I make my own...

Dear OneDragging my pen along the walls of the well,
The ink of meaningful words runs dry,
Blind to who you've become, and serving only to dampen empty sockets,
The misty drops of moments lost become the meaningless tears I cry,
And the blink of the eyeless is, likewise, frivolous nictation,
For it was yesterday upon them your image permanently seared,
And...

why dont we see enormous men on missing person postersI look at the missing person poster
Another young girl with long hair, pretty face
One hundred and nineteen pounds
She looks like all of the other missing person posters
Why don’t we ever see grandmas on missing person posters?
Where are the posters with enormous men?
Why are no plain janes missing?
It is always the beauty queens
Petite and gorgeous
And small...

I say that I'm over youI say I'm over you
Yet I see you everywhere
In the beach
Picking up shells and pretending
That I'd bring them to you
Saving the iridescent ones
For you
And I'd watch the sunset
Act like you're next to me
I can almost smell your cologne in the air
Then I turn and realize again
You're not there
I say I'm over you
And I...

Missing HeartMissing heart
Missing life, missing situations, missing lady
Following my dream. Follows me. Love of love
There is no heart in my chest. An empty, dead body
Vultures and hungry ravens had dinner in my body
No heart, no love. No. No. And no. Without a mermaid
Missing love, my heart eaten by mermaid sharks in the ocean
Destroyed heart
Someone looked
Looked...

undertowi should walk away.
i know that.
i rehearse it,
mouth the words
like a prayer i don’t believe in.
but you’re standing there,
and it’s already too late.
she trusts me.
he trusts you.
we are the knives
in their backs,
still warm with guilt.
you smile
and my ribs crack open
like old doors in a storm.
i don’t want this.
but i do.
i wish wanting you
felt more like...

TORN 2025I can’t change, and you can’t change. We are two separate people with two separate hearts. When did this road shred apart? I can’t force this love anymore; I am lost in deep thought. Emotional pain hurts, but when you add mental games and a teaspoon of lies, it becomes as ugly as a newborn...

LATE NIGHTSLate-night talks have always been the best. The love I have for you is priceless. I don’t want anyone but you; you have to be mine. I need those late-night conversations. I want to feel reconnected with you and ensure that this love will last forever. I need to know if this love is permanent....

I miss you.
Maybe I should tell you.
Maybe I should tear through the distance
with something as simple, as foolish,
as a “hey, you crossed my mind.”
But what if you see my name and feel tired?
What if my hello feels like a burden
you forgot to put down?
What if I am the ache you no longer want to revisit?
I...

One of the Herd is Missing!Oh my, she's cooking one of her own kind!
Has she gone completely out of her mind?
Sauteing that cut of beef is all too altruistic
even worse, her behavior is cannibalistic!
I don't know who she's trying to impress
but her folly will put her diner under duress.
After one look at Molly May cooking a steak,
whoever it is will...

The BoxI was grateful for the love of family and friends
But I was longing to hear your voice just once again
Then I came upon a box that I had not seen
There was a note that read ‘just a few keepsakes to you-from me’
I would recognize that handwriting anywhere
It was from you, my beloved my dear
I...

First ResponderAs the world tends to go around
I look up at the sky, from the ground
Can't shake this feeling of how blue it can be
So, I ask myself why has God chosen me
Don't get me wrong it a beautiful thing
To be chosen by the creator like an angel with wings
Then, out of the light comes the...

What's MissingI thoroughly liked the western soothing delta breeze
I don't like the southern discomforting delta freeze
But it's a new season, and in time, I will adjust
And anticipate the good things that's left
It's starting to feel like the place we belong
It's a familiar region where I once called home
But presently, my childhood friends are gone
Our best friends...
