April to July: Story of Goodbye

July 20th, 2022

For 125 days
I gave you my attention
Ignoring red flags
With no mention of intention
For seven days
I saw you in April
Consumed in spending time
Forgetting foundation was a staple
For ten days
I saw you in May
Digging my grave
I got carried away
For five days
I saw you in June
Six feet deep
And out of tune
And for one day
I saw you this July
Our counter has ended
And this is my goodbye

The Invitation

July 18th, 2022

You were unexpected to say the least
When your messages consumed my time
I was looking for a distraction
And you seemed to be inclined
A spontaneous invitation
An arrangement from a joke
I accepted your offer
Which you did not revoke
The taste of whiskey on your tongue
The scent tingling my nose
I admit I kissed you first
You played me like dominos
A careless decision in the midnight hours
A feeling I’ve never known
I got lost inside your games
When I should have stayed alone

2022 Concluded

Hello poetry lovers!

I’ve rebranded! Doll-Urban Poetry is gone, and Doll Poetry is here! Instagram has been updated too, so look out for @dollpoetry_! As I do every year, I want to shout out to all of my new readers! I grew from 165 followers to 199 followers in the last year! To those who are new to following me, I do an annual update with all of my statistics and an overall recap of my year! You can find my past updates and other of my non-poetry-related posts under my “Personal” category.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support me and my passion! I jumped all over the place between posting content from 2009, 2011, and the beginning of 2022. Keep posted, as I will be sharing the rest of July-December 2022 shortly! Last year was intense. I ran my first half marathon (barely), sold my house, moved twice, switched jobs, filed for divorce, and joined both a softball and bowling social league.

I also probably listened to a little too much Spotify. However, despite seeing her in concert for the third time, this is the first year that Chelsea Cutler has not been my number-one artist!

Spotify wrapped for reference:

Last, but certainly not least, Happy New Year everybody!
