Tears in Free Verse

Beautiful Monsters we are tangled, unwashed hair
that splays like tentacles across our bed,

long, dark hair and eyelashes like curtains,
long, beautiful hair and two eyes on two bodies
that only watch each other in low lights
in shady bars, because our friends

can't see us like this.

we are hand-holding under tables,
stumbling through alleyways

into apartments, with doors flung open and shut
like our
disbelieving eyes
when our clothes come off and souls entwine.
and when our screams subside, we are

two bodies, one soul.

we are liars when we sit alone on park benches
and watch sunsets from separate ends.
they ask us "do you know each other?" aBeautiful Monsters in Free Verse

I Can't Help It I get my hopes up,
I hope and I dream,
My heart flutters,
And My smile beams,
I look at you,
And everything gleams.

A chance for change,
A place to restart,
Maybe on day,
I'll give you my heart.

I feel so much better,
Than I did before,
I've picked myself up,
Off of the floor.

You are so sweet,
And your eyes shine,
I can't help,
To want to make you mine!I Can't Help It in Free Verse

So Long, So Long Fighting, fighting every day
And it just hurts so much
In every single way
With every single touch

I promised I would try
But I didn't know how hard it'd be
Not to die
And now I see why you told me

That you would always be here
In my heart and in my mind
And at the time, my dear
I had no idea that I'd find

You in a hospital bed
Your heart line flat
And now you're dead
I'll never forgive myself for that

I took you for granted
You never know what you love until it's gone
And this is it
We're at your funeral, so long, so longSo Long, So Long in Free Verse

This song remains unnamed The darkness has invaded my heart
Torturing me here
Thinking these thoughts
Who do I tell
In my immortal hell
I wish I could leave
The only thing
Keeping me here is you
I want to go
That's what you must know
If you intend to keep me here
Another day passes me by
The same torture, the same pain
I long to be free, of that hurt
I wish it hadn't come to this
The only thing
Keeping me here is you
I want to go
That's what you must know
If you intend to keep me here
Thanks to you I've mended my wounds
Lost all my pain, thanks to you
Now it's time
For you to do the sameThis song remains unnamed in Free Verse

A Thousand Splendid Suns Constant hesitation has me

Afghanistan is another one
of those places where
the rain doesn't fall like it used to.

And isn't it sad?
The kite runners sprinting
after tiny apparitions in the sky,
their heads in the sun-scape
blinded

fields of auburn.
Awrah ladies swathed in karakul

I Just Want Him To Be Happy I want to be the one he laughs with
I want to have his arms around my waist as we dance to the music in our heads
I want to hold his hand and look into his eyes
I would give everything if only to help him slightly
I see and know all his faults
I look past them willingly
When he smiles, that's the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life
I know he won't be mine
So I only want his happiness
I want him to be with each and every girl he falls for
I want him to laugh with her, hold her hand, look into her eyes, I want him to dance with her to the music in their heads
I just want him to be happyI Just Want Him To Be Happy in Free Verse

Chipped Teeth And Broken Bones. Sometimes the thoughts catch in your throat and dig little
wires to ensnare the refusal that drips reluctantly from your lips.
The soft violence of tenderness caresses hollow ribcages
and nails scratch delicate words into your flesh, marking you
in the way you were marked previously; interlocking scars that form a name.
Your hesitation is taking as condensation, hands flying to punish
and apologies oozing from chipped front teeth and hands and tongue making up
for what you tried to refuse when the order was given.
And from chipped teeth and broken fingertips you'll scrape what you can
from the bottom of a clouded bottle, findChipped Teeth And Broken Bones. in Free Verse

Keeping the Baby I don't care what you say,
I'm keeping her.
I won't let myself
live the rest of my life
knowing
and remembering
that a life was stopped
or given away,
because of me.
This pregnancy isn't my fault!
You do honestly think
that I wanted what happened?
That I wanted to take a sip
of a rum and coke,
and wake up
bound to a headboard,
covered in the stench
of vodka
and an unclean motel bathroom?
I'm not a slut, Mom.
Dad, stop calling me a whore!
I didn't do this
to myself, you know.
Mom, can't you empathize
with me?
Didn't you feel
that first pang of love for me
when you heard my fluttering heartbeat
on that hospital monitKeeping the Baby in Free Verse

1 in the Morning One magic moment.
Stolen from the mind,
And cast upon life.

Ripped from the womb of dreams,
Laid down wet on plastic ground.
The crinkle of teenage lust
Breaks the silence of ashamed nightfall.

Heavy breath released into awkward air,
Sealed tight within a tent of desire.
Unzipped fantasies exposed as frauds,
Leaving empty shells of all my hopes...

Body penetrated but heart untouched.1 in the Morning in Free Verse

The guilt Trip Play the guilt trip on me
why don't you? Make me
feel like I'm always wrong
and a horrible person
while you're at it. Say that,
no, im not sorry and no, I
don't feel bad. I wish you
would just shut up for 10
seconds and just let me talk.
I AM sorry about it. I DO
feel guilty. And I WANT
to make it better. But do you
let me? No. YOU and YOUR
stubborn ass won't let me say
I'm sorry. So how do you expect
this to get any better? Maybe
you're right.

Maybe I have outgrown you.
Maybe things have changed.The guilt Trip in Free Verse

Insecurity Weak, insecure, mistake
Hurt, emotional, not wanted
Left with no hope
Left with the pain

Not pretty enough
not perfect
to thin
no hope to move on

Want to be cared for
want to love
Not beautiful enough
Not PERFECT

Making mistakes
get blamed for everything
judged all the time
not wanted

Not perfect
no pretty enough
left with the pain inside
in this cruel world

Mistaken, insecure, weak
Not wanted, not perfect
not beautiful

Inferno... The blazing colors lick at the walls,
The curtains,
The story of their lives captured in numerous photos
They beg, they plead, someone please help them
But alas, they cannot escape the all-consuming inferno
One by one, her family falls, overcome by the smoke
Until only she remains, desperately trying to get to safety
She cries out for help, but no one hears her
And finally, she falls back, the flames twirling around her
Closer and closer they come to her, her family's bodies lying beside her
Her glassy eyes watch the flames dance blankly
Her last pleading tear falling from her eyes…
The last words from her dying lips, a whiInferno... in Free Verse

Better It was difficult
walking out the door as it seemed
that life was exactly the same

and I plugged my ears to listen
to the songs that are yours and mine
I want for company
drag my feet

but my worries are freed
my exhaustion
gone without a trace
just to know you're there

Today I will not
ask myself whether
my feelings are unhealthy, or whether
I'm being
"obsessive"...
I refuse to fill my head with those
comments about
living in another world, thousands of miles
away....

I never believed that.

I feel bright again, the sun warms me
from somewhere in my heart
difficult to pinpoint...
I'm well

And I'll do what I like, bBetter in Free Verse

That Moment You know that moment,
when your heart is shattered?
Again?

That moment,
when everything you were hoping for,
crumbles before your eyes?

That moment,
when you realize the dreams you were dreaming,
were kind of worthless?

That moment,
when you feel like you're falling apart?
For the fifth time?

That moment,
when you lower the bar to a foot,
yet they still can't reach?

That moment,
when the person you thought they were,
betrays you?

That moment,
when all you wanted was a healed heart?
At last?That Moment in Free Verse

Ribcage Symphonies Ribcage Symphonies

Passion has no taste
It just burns your tongue
While fingers compose symphonies
On nameless ribcages

Black widows don't label their pets
Other than with dull numbers
Making disappointing engagements
Worthwhile episodes of a life wasted

On selfish charity, superiority
Damage of clarity of human heart
Dwelling frightened, cracked and murky
In its fragile shell

Soul is a carton box
That implodes in heavy rain
While rays of sun in a marmalade jar
Mean a miracle, if piled up carefully

A man says he met God in the subway
What most don't want to listen to
See, mirror is the one true friend
As it always smilesRibcage Symphonies in Free Verse

That Secret. Sharing a picnic in the flowery meadow.
You love them, they love you.
You gulp.
It's now or never, you tell yourself.
You turn to them with a shaky smile.
Their answering smile is warm and encouraging.
A whisper, just those few words.
''…''

They lean back, eyes filled with fear, a panic-stricken expression on their face.
They scramble back, away from you, searching for an escape from your presence.
A stumbling sprint through the forest, looking back checking.
You haven't moved.
Haven't breathed; Couldn't.
As you lose sight of the one you love, the only one who means anything to you, you feel a tear fall.
It hits the grassThat Secret. in Free Verse

She and I She was everything you wanted, she was everything I wanted to be.

She had everything you needed, so you never looked to me.

She gave you everything, so you never took from me.

She's beautiful, you know that, we all know the same, I don't know why I bother with this game.

She loves you more than anything, and I hope she always will.

She always care for you,she'll keep you strong when times are tough, I could never be enough.

She's the one for you, a match made in heaven they say, she makes you happy, I guess I never could.

She's everything you wanted, she's everything I wanted to be.

I'm sorry but why can't it be me?She and I in Free Verse

Doll This doll is not yours to claim.
This doll is not yours to hold.
She isn't something you throw away,
When your form of play grows old.

This doll is not yours to break.
This doll is not yours to trash.
She isn't made for your amusement.
She can't be bought with cash.

This doll is not yours to comfort.
This doll is not yours to seek.
She doesn't need your pity,
It only makes her weak.

This doll is not yours.
I will tell you once more.
You only want to hurt her.
Your intentions are not pure.Doll in Free Verse
