Other Selected Poems

**I do preface this by saying that some of the following poetry may contain profanity. Please do not get offended but read with caution and at your own discretion. I did not change my settings to hide this profanity because it am not sure if I intend to use it throughout this blog. This may change. But consider this a warning for the following post. 






I'm torn. Ready to shatter. Sewed shut with scorn. 

Little girl, won't you tell me what's the matter? 


If I break, the pieces will scatter. Remnants of a failing heart. Shake me til I wake. 


You see, we all play a part. 

I need someone to abuse. Or something to call my own. I need someone to use. 

Now you feel all alone. 

I found a razorblade. Accompanied by a gaping hole in the wall. Sliently I prayed. 

You wonder why there was not a call? 

The simplicity of an act. I know it's what the devil fares, to keep ourselves intact. 

Somebody out there cares. 

All night I listened to the rain. What if I were to drown...in a sea of pain. 

I hate seeing you look so down. 

I fell into dark devotion. My need is deep. Wide as the ocean. 

You really must get to sleep.

Who the fuck

Who the fuck do you think you are?

To come into my life like a damn tornado

tearing up trees, uprooting houses

ripping through the town

leaving books, letters, and dolls in its wake.

A little girl searches for her cat

while a little boy finds his beloved stuffed animal.

(Neither could sleep without them)

As I stand there looking at the glass and wood

that used to be my house,

I am reminded that hearts rip like paper
