Dream Date



We pick something fun with lots of bombs
and a predictable ending.
You wear your favorite tee and a pair of old sweats.
I'm wearing my glasses and a dozen dots of zit cream.
My head is on your lap 
as your sock covered feet rest on the coffee table.
Your fingers play with the tips of my braids.
I'm trying to throw popcorn into your mouth.
You tease me, when I squeak during the tense scenes.
I tease you, when you drool over the cars.
We aren't trying to impress each other.
We are happy.
Carefree.
We are living the dream.

Therapy

The wishes I have are simple.
The hopes I have are not new.
The things I have seen are not unheard of.
The faith I have has been betrayed.
My trust has not gone untested.
My heart has been broken.
But my eyes do see things.
My ears do hear.
My ways may be different.
My insight difficult to hear.
But I do know one thing.
It must be heard.

Twisted Love


In the beginning,
we enchanted each other.
Intoxicated by the other's touch.
Then the cracks started.
And the mirrors shattered.
We started down a path.
To heartbreak.

Quiet




There are times when I feel unloved.
When those around me seem like figments of my imagination.
Their thoughts foreign and filled with indifference.

During those unloving moments,
my thoughts race,
my heart sinks,
I wish for just a moments peace.

During those unloving moments,
my skin feels dark and covered with rashes.
My lips cracked and bleeding.

There are times when I feel unloved.
When the silence and the dark mingle together.
I try to love myself but sometimes things are just so quiet.

Circling Currents

I speak and sometimes it feels like the words just fade away.
No one hears.
No one listens.
I scream and it echos for only me.

You Nag.
Are Unforgiving.
You Live in the past.

Labels surround me.
Bombard me.
But they are just words.
So like mine I let them fade.
I don't listen.
My ears hear nothing.

Pen and Paper

I write because some words can't be spoken aloud.
They stick to the base of my throat unable to make a sound.
I struggle to express my thoughts but others still think that I am mute.
.
I write because some words can't be spoken aloud.
I can't explain the depths of my emotions.
I can't explain the anger or my fear.
I can't explain the unseen scars or the newly formed wounds.
.
I write because some words can't be spoken aloud.
My scars are deep and my voice can't express.
I struggle to open my mouth and let the words form.
.
I struggle to release the betrayal,
to share the hurt.
I seek understanding.
I seek acknowledgment.
.
I write because some words can't be spoken aloud.
Because those who should hear,
don't.
Because those who should see,
don't
Because spoken words can be forgotten.

A Simple Touch



I feel him before our skin makes contact.
A heat flows through my body,
As a chill causes the hair on my skin to rise.

Anticipation makes my blood throb.
To me he is like air.
His touch causes an excitement I wish I could harness.
His voice elicits moans of submission.

When it happens?
When that sweet caress touches on my body?
I give an involuntary shudder.

Nirvana.
It is a drug.
My drug.
His simple touch.
