you’re cold as ice
my head and heart swirling
the end of us staring me in the face
may your destiny
hurt as much as my present
i’m hoping karma bites you in the ass, hard
you’re cold as ice
my head and heart swirling
the end of us staring me in the face
may your destiny
hurt as much as my present
i’m hoping karma bites you in the ass, hard
And that is how you make an exit…
I sometimes wish I cared
About everything you said
But as I’ve already declared
I’ve no tears left to shed
I noticed a shine on my nose, quickly applying some powder. Should I reconcile with my entitled husband? NO!
My expression changed to fright as bile began making its way up the back of my throat, then spewing what seemed to be miles of it. My brain was in denial about the pregnancy. Nothing a stab to the old cervix couldn’t fix, I thought to myself. I just couldn’t raise a child right now. I am NOT enlightened enough to be a mother, and its father was just too rude! He knocked me up while screwing another woman. The cad!
Haven’t we all been here at one point in time?
I read somewhere
That you were no longer mine
.
.
That you finally opened up your heart
And honestly, It was about time
.
.
I read somewhere
That you no longer belonged to me
.
.
That our memories
Are no longer cherished
It’s not my heart that holds your key
.
.
I never expected you to wait forever
To hide away
And pine for my love
.
.
But I read somewhere
That you are finally happy and moved on
.
.
My heart paused a little
It broke for a moment
As I remembered what we lost
.
.
But I always knew that our love
Was gone
When I walked away
I knew the cost
Loss, whether death or the end of a great love affair, can haunt us for eternity. And muddy our existence until we heal. This is one of those pieces that just gets you right in the heart. Thanks, Nancy.
You left for some time
ages ago
long enough to haunt,
long enough for everything
loud and living
to sink into itself,
a cavity beneath waves…
but I’m OK now—
day drinking with Nemesis
laboring rust and dirt,
I lie with your bones
and start fires at night.

i may look cool
uninviting
icy, even cruel
there are steps to get to me
too many times
efforts of engagement
ended calamitously
for me and them
fear has changed me
my warmth is protected
in the depths of me
you’ll find that i’m real and engaging
Inspired by John Coyote – Damn Those Eyes and Amazing Song
While I enjoyed John’s interpretation, I sunk into the song a bit deeper addressing the singer’s frustrated state. It took me back to a personal experience in my past.
stay
the mind
those ideas
the strength shown
the man behind the eyes
life
frustration
anger, disappointments, and angst
chronic and acute
our reality is deception
leave
enough
it’s enough
life is more important
than those damn eyes
Achieving freedom is a noble aspiration, wouldn’t you agree?
Letting go…
-Letting go of control
-Letting go of “old” feelings
-Letting go of hurt and pain and loss
-Letting go of dreams for the future
-Letting go of the past
-Letting go of my old identity
-Letting go of “justice”
-Letting go of fear
My hands and heart are now free

This piece speaks for itself…
walking side by side
like corpses that abide
abide by boredom
in ungraceful stride
awkward looks
routined ways
together trottin
like a pair of strays
their dying faces
at boring places
tell their story
of past gone glory
loneliness
galore
together
even a bigger bore
rejecting
true desire
afraid of sparks
igniting a fire
surprise surprise
it’s love’s demise
Even in the aftermath of a broken relationship, as trying as it can be, there can be hope for a better future especially when we can lean on our support system.
Once………..
I Was Not Dependent On Anyone
I Was Alone
I Was Very Happy
No Cries
No Sorrows
No Worries
No Wounds In My Heart
One Day He Came Into My Life……….
He Gave Me Lots And Lots Of Happiness
He Made Me Laugh Even When I Don’t Want To
He Gave Me Support During My Failures
He Scolded Me For My Mistakes
He Helped Me Though He Know That I Can Do That By Myself
He Said That He Will Be There To Catch Me When I Fall
My Life Changed A Lot….
I Fallen For Him
I Became Dependent
I Really Forgot About Everything
Thought He Was My Everything
I Was In A Fantasy World
But…
Truth Hits Me Hardly
I Don’t Know
What Made Him To Like Me?
And Now
I Really Don’t Know
What Made Him To Hate Me?
I M Only Having Questions
I Am…
