storm, i

the storm rages

she says

as she stares out 

of the window 

of her own mind. 

her heart races, 

the winds blow stronger, 

the blood flows faster

through her veins.

thunder rolls, 

she shudders,

her hands begin to tremble. 

the light is too bright,

a bolt shoots through her

as she collapses,

down,

she tried to ground herself.

she sits, 

it turns quiet.

the storm passes by,

leaving the destruction 

in its wake.

the ride of a narcissist

 I attempted to find new love after I lost you and it worked as well as you would have expected. It was rough,  a roller coaster I couldn't stop myself from riding over and over again no matter how much it left me sore in the morning. my soul came alive and burned a flame  bigger than I imagined and the adrenaline shot through my veins quicker than any injection high could have given and I went back, first in line, every time, and I pulled the bar tighter and tighter to hold on to it knowing it would hurt me later on, smelling the rust on my hands from the firmness of my grip,  and how disappointed you would be to  know I kept riding that ride knowing I was aware of the pain and realizing I let someone treat me that way  after how much you loved me.

the end.

When I said I wanted to feel your touch, I wanted to feel your fingertips along the ridges of my bare back, sliding down as slowly as your gaze fell upon my lips.  Instead, you raised your hands from my hands to my heart, and you gripped it tight. Your strength diminishing the light in my eyes. You took me when my heart was broken, and you shattered it with the palm of your hand.  I wanted you to fill a part of me that longed for you, a flame that burned, regardless of the sorrow you blew my way; testing the flames endurance, another game to you.  Yet you checked me, I was just a pawn in the game you played, another heart locked in the jar you kept so close, a locker deep in the abyss of your mind.  The flame that once burned went out, but with no credit to your mastermind of emotional manipulation, but my removing myself from the oxygen that you gave to me, by my own power.  I used to question what made me turn the page and begin again, dreaming of your wings, ...

directions

 I twist my brain in different directions, an attempt to make sense of the tragedy that befell upon you, upon us. A rope, already twisted and tangled, a feat to straighten it out that you also took onto your shoulders, when they were already bearing the weight of your own world. In a moment, you were gone. Spirited away into another dimension, occupying the space that Mother universe has provided you, us. Though I cannot touch your rough hands and soft hair, many time has come where I feel you surrounding me, embracing me with your warmth as you once did, an inner warmth inexplicable to those who do not experience such separation as we. When I close my eyes at night and my soul begins to wake, I see you. I see your eyes filling me with adoration and power. I hear you, your soft, gentle reassurance that I am well, I am making you proud. I can smell you, morning after cologne pulsating from your neck, radiating from the t-shirt you wore to bed. I can taste you, the savory sweetness o...
