House
     domicile
         residence....
Home?  For one....weird.
Ex
     wife
         divorced
OK, that's how I spell relief.....
Mom
      mother
        progenitor
Does it mean the same when all children are gone?
Lost
     adrift
         disoriented....
*Me
SC Jan 2016
You were born under a
looming, haunting thought
one day - we'd say goodbye.....
Years of denial
     while I enjoyed
        watching baby
             grow into boy
                  turn into man
I braced for the inevitable
     fought with the reality
          wrestling with fears and tears...
I wish you success
    I'm here for you
        my heart is shattered
but I know it is time
    for the reality I dread
Goodbye, my son- be careful
you carry my heart.....

Emotional vampires
are black holes of incessant needs.
They have an insatiable thirst
For the beauty of
your soul...
They prey on your kindness
with counterfeit
sympathy
empathy
love.
Beware!
That is the trap...
You can't help them
ease their suffering
or save them...
They take, and take, AND TAKE
And once they latch
their fangs into you,
they are not satisfied...
will not quit ...
until you are
emotionally
lifeless
Your heart
bereft
of life.

The difference between men and women....
He must ask
      and accept many "No's".
She merely chooses
       From multitudes of requests
whom (if any)
       she will say "yes"....

I put my insecurities on paper,
     so they don't burden down
           my journey....
My fears, anxieties
   even my nightmares...
For me,
   this is healthy....
So when you read my words
   understand one thing
      you really don't know me.
This is my worst.
    But as Marilyn stated
If you can't deal with the worst
   You don't deserve the best...

What do you see
when you encounter me?
Do you see someone
whose lost - more far more than she has ever won?
Because my hair is different than yours
Is that your excuse, for closing all doors?
Or are you afraid because you know-
Inside this heart - your shadow grows.
The darkness you reveal
all that your pale, cold eyes cannot conceal.
The esoteric hatred
you covet and hold sacred....
for one whose only crime
accident of birth, out of luck, out of time....
What you see -
is NOT me....
SC Dec 2015
Trust-
that fragile bond...
once shattered into jagged pieces
scattered and frayed.
And the mending
futile
The pieces never
quite
fit...
