Just another face
in the crowd.
I don’t want to be
that girl
anymore,
the one you
destroyed.
I am but a
shell
of my former self.
Time to rebuild.

I awoke this morning
to what I thought
were the sounds of
thunder and rain.
It only took but a moment
to realize the storm
was inside me.
My heart thundered
as it broke
into a million pieces
and the rains followed,
tears streaming down
my face.
You’re dead to me.

She emits
beautiful light
a soft glow
illuminating everyone
nearby
from the shadows
her warmth
radiates
though self-consuming
opening hearts and
minds
as she fades

Your pain is mine.
I absorbed it
whenever we kissed,
with every touch.
I carry it with me
everywhere.
And though it’s been
more than 5 years since
I last looked you in the eye,
I know you.
We will never be
strangers.

a ring on the coffee table
where your glass once sat
beside a coaster
the other room, spare again
I hear myself think in stereo
no bottles hidden in the trash
and I can’t smell you anymore
dead only to me
and two motherless children
yet somehow alive
existing to drink
and relive your pain

a voice breaks
the tears come hard and fast
your pain is mine

Heat blackened sky ( Read more... )
