The Weight of Time

I feel the weight of time
Pressing down on my neck
I thought the weight of
stress would dissipate
with time 
but the frosting 
no longer tastes
better than the cake.
How could the snow
no longer look the same?
Santa nothing but a
monster in a closet.
A hammer glimmering 
in the mirror.
The Easter bunny
with sharp bloodied teeth.
The Grinch makes
more sense than the Who’s.
I wish I had that clamoring
monkey to ignore their
cheery exclaims.
When did horror movies
become reality?
Anxiously looking around corners.
Checking what’s lurking behind.
Waiting for him to find
me once more.
To officially end me.
Scared to see the color of red
because blood is brighter
than the color itself.
Washing over me
like a hot refreshing shower.
Becoming my home.
Because somehow awaiting
my faithful end
brings more assurance
than anything else
in this world.
Murdered brings more
comfort than Santa
& the Easter bunny
ever did.

A Seed

A seed does not stay the same.
If it did, it was stunted
& died.
A seed planted
In soil
Nourished,
Watered,
& fed;
Grows
Changes
& shifts
To it’s
Environment.
Growing, growing, growing.
The plants
Around
Infuriated
Trying to
Drown,
Strangle,
And quench
It’s need
To grow.
To quench
It‘s need
for more.
Jealous of 
it’s strength.
Trying to 
get ahead 
In their game.
When it’s clear 
on the outside 
looking in, 
that there’s more to 
life than 
their petty games.
Our leaves can’t turn 
green when games
are all that are played.
Too busy 
tying up knots.
Focusing on other’s
instead of 
trying to plant  
our own roots and grow out further 
Then we’ve ever been before, 
before there is too much to loose.

Mom, did you cry on your wedding night?

Althroughout childhood, you would  talk about your love story 
 how when you’re older 
“you just know! you just know!” 
but when I told you I was engaged, 
the story changed
 it wasn’t love but pregnancy
 that brought the two of you together.
 What about this WONDEROUS love 
that brought the both of you together?
 But instead, it was a child conceived out of wedlock
 whispers of love and promises, only said in tangled up sheets
 but, when it’s all said and done, they fade away.
 I wonder is there ANY resentment from HAVING to get married? 
Did you cry when the child was dying 
And “have to” marry this man was leaving your body?
 Why did you go through with it? 
Of course, you gasped and couldn’t understand why,
 his and my love 
because sadly, you’re never felt it. 
Those tear stained faced nights 
And fleeing for safety 
Our close knitted bond 
and waking up to screaming 
your entire life thrown out 
ALL for a lie
for a baby that didn’t even survive. 
Mom, did you cry? Did you cry? Did you cry?
Mom, did you cry on your wedding night? 
And why did you follow through with the lie? 
Why didn’t you pick up and leave once the child died? 
run run run 
run away from the fear and hollowed pain
 run from the sex that was considered to be ”love”
 which is far from the same 
no wonder you fear that your daughter is doing the same
 You tell her she can leave 
 she doesn’t have to stay 
would you tell yourself that on your wedding day? 
you tell me that we can stay engaged
for as long as we need no rush you plea
do you wish you did the same?
Panic clenches and grips your vocal cords.
Mom, did you cry on your wedding night?

Anew

Flowers in bloom
Sky’s of blue
Pink pink petals
All around you
Everything’s greener
Hope’s anew
All because you decided
on a different view 
hopeful sunrises replace
Dreadful nights
bright orange sky’s instead
Of a bruised sights 
All because a boy
Showed you can trust the light
Rushing towards it
With courage and might
He gazes and smiles
It was true all along
erases the feeling
That I do not belong
Stay in this feeling
Sing my new song
This is my being
She can never be wrong
I feel like a fool 
Not sticking to You
Never was it too
good to be true
Oh how this time
I know what to do

Celestial Bodies

Celestial bodies,
coming together as one. 
Finally at home in each other
after roaming the galaxies 
alone & scared. 
Finding comfort & home
in each touch of the skin.
Trying to hold back, 
but it avails to none.
How can we hide 
from the soul that
has held us in many past ones?
When our knowings of us 
aren’t limited to 
just this one. 
No more grabbing or grasping,
choking or having to heal
from more loves.
You are the one that I want,
whom my soul loves.

how do i understand?

I am deeply sadden
That I couldn’t have more time
Oh! How the roles have switched!
Deaden the grip
On what’s within
Now it’s ready to soar
Nothing to hold it back
The clamp has been
Loosened & fallen away
There are no more rainy days
Just sadness of what was
& why it had to be that way?
My mind has gone numb
From the swirling thoughts
Crashing against my skull
Only if my soul could
Understand the turmoil
It’s been through
Is there any sense
To what has been?
Why couldn’t this
Life come sooner
Always playing out in
My head without any end
Always stuck in her
Own little world they said
But it’s no longer my
Own little world
It’s OUR little world
That we are constantly
Building living & breathing
Ebbing & flowing through
Each & every day
Right next to you

Will You Withstand The Storm With Me?

Fear and shame
Gripping at my veins
Are we both
Feeling the same?
Doubt clouds
My memory
Of the love
That we shared
Do we both
Feel the same
Outside forces
Bring a consistent
Storm
The clouds bruised
Looming over us
Our new ceiling
Lightning flashes
Thunders crack
Epp! Will you hold
Me & protect me
Through this storm?
Do you have a rain coat
To get through it?
Dance & kiss me
Sweetly through it?
Or will you run inside
Deadbolt the doors so
No one or nothing
can come in or get through it?
Will you stand beside me
& withstand this storm?
Hold my hand & walk through it
Or are you all just the same?
Saying promises one day &
Then fleeing another?
Will you stay & embrace me
In my pain?

Consuming Fire

Licking my wounds.
Recovering from the pain.
Is it supposed to
feel this way?
Empty, cold, and dejected.
Ashamed of not enjoying it.
Radiating heat filling me up
from my pelvic floor.
Somehow, I am wanting more.
More of the pain
without it there’s 
no freedom for what 
lies between my legs. 
I am ashamed of 
how it leaks, throbs,
& pulsates for more.
Maybe one more time, 
it won’t feel this way?
The all consuming fire
that takes me to
hotels with strange men.
Maybe it gets better
Or the best it will ever get?
But the high weighs more
in the moment.
To keep me sailing 
away from the fear 
and shame.
 With the pain, 
I do it anyway
Slowly as my heart, soul,
& sanity fade away 
While my pelvic floor screams
to breathe 
While my body crumbles 
from the destruction
a single man brings.

Sun

Sun. sun. sun.
Shining brighter than the moon
The very thing I have always hidden behind
 always longing to be as, bright as, shone as, loved as, longed for and exposed 
I let him touch me a couple of times before,
 but always went back to hiding behind the moon. 
She’s always felt safer 
the darkness around her and soft hue
Always made my wounds feel at home 
 the sun, warm, bright and masculine.
Makes me feel like i’m on a cold disinfected examination table
Cut wide open 
His love feels like being poked and prodded
Left wide open
At least with the moon, 
Darkness surrounds her holds her and makes her whole
I get to hide in her darkness 
Be held and not exposed by her
She doesn’t force my legs open 
Nor my heart or my soul 
But allows and accepts me as I am
The sun does the same 
it’s just exposes everything 
It makes me squirm 
And seek for safety in isolation 
It longs for safety 
For it’s loving warmth
 cold hearts and misery  and pain feel safer
This feels scary 
Always an arms length away 
I say so his warm lips will stay away
Until another rainy day 
But even then
Push him away before
He sees all of my stains
From previous days

I don’t know what to say to him,
The sun
I’ve been running for so long, that I don’t know how to live, breathe or move in the light.
what does it look like? I just don’t know because living in darkness is easier.

stains

There’s so many stains on my floor 
From your cat’s 
To the bleach 
That spilled on the floor
I wonder if the 
Scent of my room
Had changed
From the very presence 
Of you
& not in a good 
Way either
Might as well 
Dismiss the 
Rest of the
Trauma because 
Living with you
Felt like my all time 
Low. I feel as though
I can’t recover 
From living in that 
Filth
It has traumatized me
Left a stain
That was molding
Left a hole
Never to be
filled again
Can never 
recover from
To go back to
My high
Standards 
Of messy
Your filth 
Has plagued
Me
Left me 
Feeling broken 
My feelings 
Of never 
Being enough 
Amplify through
The streets
Never to 
Return
Or be rebuilt
Again
No amount of 
Cleaning 
Would do the
Job
The stains are
There 
Permanently
Staring back
At me 
Consistently
Reminding me
Of the mistakes 
That I can’t 
Take back 
That followed suit
To loving you
