Easier Unseen

My mind rebels, a war it cannot win, "Don't think of you," the battle cry within. But memories linger, a bittersweet refrain, Missing you, a truth that whispers in the rain.

You pushed me back, a wall you built so strong, A whispered "no" that lingered far too long. Yet, yearning whispers, a silent, pleading plea, For a whispered "yes," for you to set me free.

Begging feels wrong, a path I shouldn't tread, But the urge remains, a teardrop left unsaid. Confusion reigns, a puzzle incomplete, Your presence lingers, a phantom, bittersweet.

Love's embers glow, a fire I can't deny, Yearning for your ear, a chance to justify. Blame falls upon me, a burden self-inflicted, For you and us, a story uncompleted.

"It's not you," you claimed, a comfort turned to ash, A hollow phrase that leaves a burning gash. Reason stands at bay, a logic undefined, Wishing for your hand, a way to leave it behind.

Easier, perhaps, a path we didn't take, Than this lingering ache, this emotional heartbreak. So I fight this war, within my fractured soul, Hoping time will mend, and make me finally whole.

Sweet was his love

Sweet was his love, draped in honey, garnished with chocolate. Soft was his love, wool stood no chance. I was the marrow in his bone. Oh, how wondrous was his love! He was the sun that shone throughout my day, the gravity that held me down in every way, the smile on my face. I was so lucky to call him my husband. He was hilarious, charming, kind, warm-hearted, smart, sexy – everything a woman could ever dream of. I loved every little thing about him. Loving him was like a dream come true. Then… in a blink of an eye, the man I once knew vanished in the night. Cold flames of truth coursed through the wind. Now, each day the pigment of my skin reminds me of who I am: Black, bold, beaten, dirty, and unclothed. My soul is delightful and my voice is delicate when I beg for scraps. When did I lose my voice? When did you stop seeing me? It's like I'm not there, but I'm right in front of you.  What went wrong, I wonder?  Now the scent of blood feels familiar. The scent of beer and s

Hearts at War

 Last chapter unwritten, a story's sad end, Lovers rarely friends, a truth we can't mend. His message, a whisper, sweet words in the night, Maybe a mistake, but oh, what a sight. Head screams in warning, "Don't fall for his charm," Heart skips a beat, safe in love's warm arm. Love's flame flickers, a battle inside, Head says, "No more," heart can't hide. I crave something grand, a love story untold, But average is all that my hands can hold. He asks for no settling, yet here I remain, Grasping at straws, in love's gentle rain. Enough? Will it ever be truly enough? Or will this yearning be a constant, rough cuff? The answer unclear, the future unseen, But one thing is certain, this love's bittersweet sheen.

Wild Heart, Free Spirit

A tangled web she weaves, a mess so bright, A paradox of beauty, a captivating sight. Adored and scorned, a storm within her eyes, A fire that burns, a spirit that never dies. This mess she wears, a badge of wild delight, Adorable chaos, a captivating light. They crave her presence, a treasure to behold, But fleeting moments, a story yet untold. Love's embers flicker, a guarded, tender flame, Fairytales of forever, a whispered, mocking name. Too sweet the promise, a truth she can't embrace, So she hunts her own fortune, a self-made, fearless pace. No tethered heart for her, no chase, no plea, She hunts for solace, wild and gloriously free. Pursue, entrap her, a game she'll surely win, For only on her terms, her love will let you in. No room for regrets, no dwelling on the past, From every misstep, a lesson learned at last. A defiant spirit, a "no" that means "begin," A world of her own making, where chaos lets her win. Replaceable? Never, a gem beyond co
