Dirty Laundry Today my heart is heavyCarrying the burden of youYour pursuit of winningno matter the costLeaving me not knowing what to do You have sacrificed uswith no thought of consequenceManipulating the truthIn glory of your own egoTo the point of dominance The self-indulgent splurgeon your version of the factsLeaving me shockedfrom my sensesLike a blow fromContinue reading “Dirty Laundry”

Rules Change
Rules Change When did you stop caringWondering how your actionsand all the distractionswould ultimately affect me So caught up in your own dramaImpossible to see another’s painBlinded by your own disdainThis is not how it should be Putting my feelings in boxesAs if that’s where they belongExpecting me to play alongYet you threw away the key You haveContinue reading “Rules Change”
Weeping Willow
Weeping Willow The Weeping Willow’s tearsPoured into the rippling waterUntil the swollen river crested So full with her griefSwallowing deeply, ingesting her painUntil she no longer protested She came often to share her thoughtsThis time she brought her anguishIt was as if her heart infested The Willow absorbed her criesThe deep sobs of the woundedIt was there forContinue reading “Weeping Willow”

Blindside
Blindside I wasn’t ready for what happened Blindsided by your volcanic eruption Spewing your discontent Leaving me without an option Again, I missed the trigger You pulled it when I was unaware I tried to salvage to no avail Leaving the evening in disrepair In a restaurant of all places With family and friends presentContinue reading “Blindside”
Jealousy
Jealousy Green is the color I favor the least It is the color Of jealousy The two horned beast It rears his head When you least expect Spiteful and cruel Wounding deep Too hard to accept I always forgive and forget Have an ability to move on You however will harbor And retain your envyContinue reading “Jealousy”
Alone
Alone The moon is still dark Where you once stood Refusing to shine its light Hiding under the cloud’s hood The days are long Nights full of shadows You will never return I am left to suppose Emptiness lives where My heart used to be It went with you When you chose toContinue reading “Alone”
Holiday Hell
Holiday Hell An effigy of you is burning in my head Starved of attention and gaining momentum There is danger ahead Another holiday With sharing bread Full of apprehension Fraught with tension Wishing I was dead Insanity is doing The same thing over again Expecting different results After all weContinue reading “Holiday Hell”
