My words as of late seem to fail me now 

Silence became a tinged trivial sound 

Filled the space with talk and confusion

Memorized a tone for spotted delusion

Introduced as vagina from dreadful guests 

While being blamed for mens’ petty mess

From praise and love for always being there

To now “passed around” with envious stares 

Complicit tendencies that leave me weary 

The tears make it hard to see things clearly 

Pooling on the edge not breaking the seal

Hide in the shadows to make a deal

Set number of pieces to leave here quietly

In the midst of trying while grieving silently 

Shattered the hope of renewed redirection 

Rendition of scars enmeshed in complexion

Settling for answers that often deceive me

A notion for peace beyond this treaty

Dignified and flawed with it all ablaze 

Cradling death despite one’s better days. 

I’d feel guilty for leaving your side 

Some say it’s because of my pride

Made the mistake once before 

So I’ll wait to settle the score 

The chance to save someone’s tragedy 

While writing my thoughts in harmony

I wish I could forget it all 

Or at least received the phone call 

I told him not to hurt you with a straight face 

He hid intentions with false display

For me to leave when you ask so patiently 

While someone vomited in front of me 

I regret seeing people I met that night 

While trying not to act from a place of spite 

I’m sorry for not waiting for your return 

Someday I’ll hope the memory won’t proceed to burn.

Lose things to feel the most of me 

Close to me

Hopefully

That path is beaten with some honor

A potter on a wheel of uncertainty 

Yet certainly standing 

Erected from engulfed flames seeking destruction 

To birth something beyond a constellation 

Feigning concentration 

For the chance to hide away

This display isn’t mean for keeping 

And weeping is more direct

Duress overflow to contempt

These years meant the first of me

The worst of me

Thirst and burst of thee

We fly for a chance again and again.
