Poems and prose about mortality, fragility, cancer, humanity, love & life. It’s not escapism but reality or the reality of a moment
It was you all along
Just couldn’t see the
forest through the trees
Mind got angry
Heart only ever
wanted to please
The love of my life
gone and now my heart
just yearns to appease
We never lost the love truly
Just went through some unease
Needed to figure things out
Align the timing, our needs.
If we ever met again I know life would
let me breathe
Still feel the hurt from when I had to
watch you leave
And for now, I grieve
Remain silent & you’ll know exactly what an individual is thinking, because they will make assumptions based on their own thoughts or insecurities & pass them off as observations of their external experience.
But sometimes…
That means a stalemate of two stubborn souls, both waiting in deafening silence for the other to show. One has to break the rule and open a door, or at least a window, voice their thoughts, and if they want more, lean into discomfort, be loud, be clear, to find the bridge back home.
Woman to women
Just so you know
Supporting a monster
That would never let you go
It just sets you for failure
Exposes your soul
You were worried he’d end it?
What about all those yet to go?
Dancing with the devil
Blinded by the bond
A contract that’s been written
Where more will fall than one
Do you really want that end
Written down your hands in blood?
Of all the many women
That thought they too were the one
You fumbled on your words
Changing this way then that
To justify your reasons
Not realising the stat
You’d escaped many years
To save your own soul
Now you take it back for slaughter
And all those yet to go
You will be the one who
Seals the deal
Of a little lambs fate
Can’t you see his tears aren’t real
They are mere battle ships
In his wake
You told me once
His death you’d elate
But now you’ve changed your views
Humoured him and
Harmed those at stake
Why do you wait?
Can’t you see your silliness?
Can’t you see your fate?
He’s not here to save his soul
He’s just here to take and take.
It won’t be until one falls
Finally the spell may break
But honey can’t you see this truth?
By then it will be too late.
One last piece
Stacked upon me
Heavy piece by piece
Now coming three by three
I thought you were a lover
But no not for me
Killed me with that kindness
That fake bullshit make believe
No more endless forgiveness
I will no longer seed
Never give you the time
Nor a day to appease
You only wanted to see me bleed
Came back after eons
Twist the knife as you please
I just always accept and agree
But no, not this time, this time I leave
Hear my silence now
As I pick off these fleas
Just the stillness left
Wringing in your ears as I leave
No longer can you drag me down
No longer will I heed
Not even worth a story
Nor even a good deed
