The Worst Caregiver in the World
I 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 One
Dragging 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...

Premium Member why dont we see enormous men on missing person posters
I 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 you
I 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...

Premium Member Missing Heart
Missing 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...

undertow
i 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 2025
I 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 NIGHTS
Late-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...

Premium Member 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 Box
I 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...

As 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...

Premium Member What's Missing
I 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...
