She
lays in bed
and
she
touches
herself,
but not
in the way
you think.

She
breathes in
and feels
her
collarbone
and
she
smiles bright.

In the
right position,
she
can feel
the hipbone
that
he(s)
never want
to call
home.

She
stops with
a quivering
hand,
doesn't
want to
go any
farther.

So
she
rolls over
and stares
vacantly
at a
wall that
holds
her
darkest secrets.

Just another
reason
sHe
will be
alone
forever.

A river flows through the backyard
Panic attacks under whiskey breath
Legs numb and gasping for air
Drowning in the driver's seat.

He calls her
'Sweetheart',
and complements
her hair.

Maybe it was
a little wrong of me
to ask her so loudly.

But what can
I say?
Being hurt like that
causes me to
lash out so
tragically.
but it's like he did it so purposefully.

I have it
I have what I've always wanted
I've starved for it
I've cried about it
I've pushed people away for it
I've convinced myself I will be better with it
I've realized it doesn't mean ****
Now I am more broke than I have ever been
I am doing well financially. I have always been taught that as long as you have your finances in line then everything well fall in place. This is furthest from the truth. Yes I am happy that I am doing well but I was happier when I was broke.

I have the keys
The keys to every door
All of them have labels
Love
Life
Friendships
Relationships
Money
***
Success
I'm convinced someone keeps changing the locks
Everyone goes through life searching for all these things. Sometimes you open one door and another closes.

How mystical you dance,
Skipping over the surface,
I peek out the window,
Just for a look,
Into your shimmering soul,
As you provide life,
Thoughts of your value,
Whilst you descend,
On moonlit nights
