Don’t

Image by Imilla

Don’t make my eyes cry

Don’t feed me those lines

Don’t ask me what’s wrong

Don’t stare at my poor soul

 

Don’t come too close

Don’t dare reach out

Don’t try to fix my issues

Don’t try to give me tissues

 

Don’t question my style

Don’t remark on my frown

Don’t beg my heart

Don’t even make it start

 

Don’t say you’re the one

Don’t stand in my sun

Don’t bring the clouds

Don’t make the winds howl

 

Don’t ask me to

Don’t share the future

Don’t break me further

Don’t shatter my cover

 

Don’t tend to my wounds

Don’t try to mend the heart you broke

Don’t bother with my worries

Don’t bother to say I’m worthy

 

Don’t touch me there

Don’t open what’s left

Don’t make my will bend

Don’t ignore my sins

 

Don’t take what’s left

Don’t blind my sight

Don’t erase the past

Don’t forget too fast

 

Don’t try to understand

Don’t do it, just try not to mind

Don’t shoot my stars

Don’t gray my skies

 

Don’t forgive me

Don’t hate the melody

Don’t force me to suffer the pain

Don’t make me do this again

 

Don’t ask me why

Don’t make me lie

Don’t waste my time

Don’t settle, that’s a crime

 

Don’t do what I need

Don’t desire to feed

Don’t shed my skin

Don’t let me in

 

Don’t squander my love

Don’t pander to my heart

Don’t act like you care

Don’t you Dare

 

Don’t wish it was better

Don’t blame it on the weather

Don’t say it doesn’t matter

Don’t believe me,

Cause I’m just

Too shattered

Hold On

Hold on

Don’t stop

Keep breathing

Cause…I still need you

With me

 

Found you on the floor

Covered in your blood

As I rushed to you

Screams echoed through

The silence that had brewed

She just couldn’t take it

She just couldn’t fake it

She just couldn’t make it

Anymore

So she grabbed a razor

Reached for the door

For some exit

Some way to get out

Of here

 

Hold on

Please keep breathing

Don’t go

Cause…I still need you

With me

 

I held you close & tight

Praying out loud

Wondering just how

To get through, so

I scooped you up

Held you aloft

As I ran to the car

I just couldn’t wait

Not any longer

As your breaths

You barely still squandered

 

Hold on

Breathe please

You can’t go now

Cause…I need you

With me

 

Racing against time

Racing with all speed

Your blood dripping through

The stained towels

& all over me

The proof of your short life

Dwindling down until

There was no more left

There was just a wish

A prayer & stillness

 

Hold on

Please keep breathing

Don’t go & leave me

Cause…I still need you

Stay with me Please

 

White coats & blue scrubs

They raced to tend to

What was left of my love

Now spent & ran through

A cold corpse, a limp body too

But nothing could stop them

They worked so hard at it

To bring back that life

But then the machines

Went silent

 

Hold on

GOD is she breathing

How could she

Go & leave me

Cause…I still needed her

With me

 

There were no words

Nothing left to say

Just sign the dotted line

& hope & pray

She’s gone now

Damn it why did it have to be

That she just couldn’t hold it

For any longer

Not even for me

Covered in a sheet

Toe tagged & bagged

They wheeled her away

Along with that fact

 

No more holding on

No more breathing for her

No more left

But this seething angry me

She left though I begged

She just couldn’t hear me

Why didn’t she know

I needed her

With me

I’m

I’m a walking contradiction.

I’m a waking dream.

I’m a million people if you can believe.

I’m nothing like you’ve known.

I’m just a little worn.

I’m not your average woman.

I’m not talking a dime a dozen.

I’m a fighter that’s full of fire.

I’m the breeze that moves the trees.

I’m the dim light, in your foggy night.

I’m the shadow, to your light.

I’m the nightmare’s worst fright.

I’m the bitch, who lays dormant inside.

I’m the lady who speaks polite.

I’m the child who needs some guidance.

I’m the adult who craves new environments.

I’m the thorns & the petals.

I’m the storm of your desires.

I’m all the stars in the galaxies.

I’m the worst at realities.

I’m the reason it sometimes fails.

I’m the solution to the day’s travails.

I’m the feather that tickles your fancy.

I’m the hard weather we all have to suffer.

Words for Fortune Cookies Sept 2018

Don’t bleed me dry, unless you take the demons inside.

---

I don’t want you to show me your pride. I want to see what’s inside.

---

Silence is Not Golden. It only allows the fear to grow.

---

The Death of the Past was the Birth of the Future.

---

You can’t beg them to be there. You can’t plead for them to care.

---

I cannot stand still. Not for anyone, not even Myself.

---

The past is the only thing I want behind me.

---

Lies and truth…who is to say which is who?

You Won’t Be Mine

Image Deviant Art

The right time

The right place

The right rhyme

The perfect face

Somehow, some way

You went away

Left me here to Pay

 

When the sun shined

When you smiled at mine

When you whispered words

When I took your comfort

Somehow, somewhere along the way

You decided you wouldn’t stay

 

And the rains fell

Buckets, rivers, & floods

And the wind howled

Whipping & twisting

Tossing me into the mud

And the clouds gathered

Blocking the view

Of what really Mattered

Then one day

When you stayed away

Somehow, some way

All that mattered

Was taken & shattered

And then I was alone

Bruised, broken & battered

 

Things were said

Things were done

All of it eventually piles up

Into some large mound

Just a little hill to climb

Then another

Then another

Until we feel

Completely Smothered

They don’t go away

No matter how much we pray

This madness, this sadness

It Just stays

Even when we bare it

But when did it get

Too Big to Carry it

 

There was a day

When I just Knew you’d stay

When you’d say

What I needed to hear

But the silence

Is just FEAR

And it wins

Hands down

Every damn time it’s near

 

Sweet sighs & those eyes

Something wild

IT will decide

It’ll choose our plights

Make our fates

Make the walls crumble & shake

From within our minds

If only we could find

What lies behind

All those Empty times

 

There was always that doubt

I knew it would not be long

Before you blew away

Disappear into a song

Somewhere I can’t be

Somewhere I am nothing

That you see

 

I knew it

But I went along

Hoping, wishing, praying

That one day

I could say

You are mine

In such a way

That would

Make the rains

Stay at bay

Make the storms

Dissipate & fade

Make the clouds

Disperse & unearth

What lies under all this mirth

 

But then

You were gone

Now there’s no songs

Now there’s no peace to find

Now there’s no space

But what’s been left behind

 

Now there’s no today’s

No tomorrow’s

No more sun

No more shadows

And I know

You dare not

You swear not

You want not

You will not

And I’ll be left

With a sad song

And you won’t

You can’t

You shan’t

Be mine

And with that

Goes all this damn time
