Desistance

September 30th, 2019

The words that I said
Dropped to the floor
Vanished quicker than I could say them
Never to be spoken anymore
Swept under the rug
Synonymous with dirt
These memories I hold
Are not supposed to hurt
The past haunts my mind
Searching for the instance
Where you became a story
But in yours I was nonexistent
You’ve erased me from your pages
Without an explanation
And all I asked from you
Was for an honest conversation

Her Name

May 20th, 2009

Her name does no justice
to the pain she’s inflicting

Her words and her actions
always contradicting

I’ve never heard lies
that penetrated me so badly

Whispering to me
it all ends so sadly

Too many emotions
caused none to be returned

This end must have been
something I’ve earned

I’ve never felt hate
like that which rages from you

And as you turned away
there was nothing I could do
