In the darkest gloom,
A mother's love is a spark,
It illuminates and blooms,
It  gives us a dash of hope,
and guides like a loom,
It wraps around tenderly,
a gift given straight from the womb.

Things may seem unfair.
But that helps in our growing,
way we view the world.

You do not love me
You just love the idea,
of being in love.

I'll find another.
A coping mechanism.
When life's eye wanders.

A Day Away
 Jul 20 1DNA

Some feelings are shallow, some feelings are deep.
Some make us smile, some make us weep.

Some we love, some we don't.
Some we'll savor, some we won't.

Some grounding, some uplifting,
Some long-lasting, some constantly shifting.

No matter what feelings I'm feeling today,
I know tomorrow is only a day away.
A great tragedy occurs when the bad days numb us to the good ones. Try to enjoy the good days, because they don't last that long. Try not to fear the bad days, because they won't last that long. Whether time is currently your friend or foe, however it can help you today, remember today won't last that long.

What good are my words?
They're only reaching deaf ears.
I can only speak.

It's not just poetry:
directly or obliquely
it's really about me

Revenge is always
disproportionate
to the grief it afflicted :
this is human nature-
it can't forgive or forget

i drain him.
i know it.
and still,
i stay.

i say i’m trying,
but really,
i’m cracking.
i’m drowning
with his lungs
in my chest.

next i’ll bleed
through his arms,
sob
through his eyes,
wreck
what’s left
of his heart.

i was never
meant
to be held.
