Save Me



They smear stains on my truest form
Scotched fingerprints on every crevice of my brittle soul
They fall like rain over any surface that defines the essence of my being
Weak knees quake
I don't ever breathe
I break

Save me

Space encloses me in an asylum that houses stray thoughts
They haphazardly attach to the cracks in my voice
Sinking feeling
I am barely living

Save me

Night terrors await from behind my door
They take me everyday and I can't sleep anymore
They nurse me against ghosts from the past
They whisper "It will always be just you and us"

Save me

They drive me to drink
On the verge of collapse I linger on the brink
The weight of the world crushes my shoulders
They throw bricks that hit me like boulders
The ground seems to open up so I barrow below
Time catches up and my heart beats slow

Save me

They drag at the seams of my clothing
They stire the dust waking sleeping dogs that lie
I suffocate cries under my pillow
The fear never dies
I am fading into darkness
I fade back into dangerous ways
I am crippled by any looming threat of silence

Save me

A never late reminder
Eyes hypnotised I want to step into a flame
Drawn to the burn
Captivated by the fire
That beautiful ache
My mind is a seasoned lair

Save me

I stagger and they strut
The blind leading the blind
Even the delusion leaves me behind
I look up for a miracle
I look down for the answer
And I find neither

Save me

A heathen who has not lost faith
I remain behind but I know I was never meant to stay
I will find peace only on that final cold bed in which my body will lay
Say something
Anything
The demons are no longer at bay

Save me
Save me

The cusp of this depression vouches to take me away

Do you remember

Do you remember when voices from the past called me to your side Do you remember when both our heartbeats were the toughest to hide Do you remember when you called me a gift because to you time had never been too kind Do you remember when you said my stubbornness was my strength and not a weakness Do you remember the holes we patched over like a seasoned seamstress Do you remember when you touched me and it felt so good I couldn't imagine how I had existed with so much less Do you remember when we got home and all you wanted to see was my body underneath that dress Do you remember when you whispered love and chuckled like you were new to this Do you remember when our eyes met and it was as natural as coming up for a kiss Do you remember when you made me laugh until my belly was sore Do you remember when you promised you wanted to give me all that and more Do you remember when the cancer started to grow Do you remember when we started fighting and we didn't even know...

Dark Skin

The taste of your skin is reminiscent of the Holy roots of our kin Dark skin your fingertips trace a map of the rich history of where our ancestors have been Dark skin I hold you tight against my belly and my bosom The feel grounds and gathers me under fertile soil so I blossom Dark skin your words are like the intricate anatomy of home Landscapes that spread out as far as the eye can see Dark skin standing beside you is to be honoured as a queen Your love and understanding are a soft pillow that rebels the hardness of how this life has been Dark skin you are reassurance and security The likes of which cannot be compared Dark skin your sadness are the cufflinks that tie your heart to your sleeve Soft and tender I struggle every time you have to leave Dark skin the only doubts have never come from us In your subtitle ways and boundless kindness my tainted heart I entrust Dark skin of your affections the world will never be worthy I daydr...

Art For Art's Sake

I am a romantic and I am a writer. I could write a library's worth of love letters about a single glance from a passing stranger. Emotion, vulnerability, brokenness are the only things that truly move me. Some writers question your authenticity when all you create is based on feeling. Feeling low, feeling dejected, feeling hurt. But ask yourself, if your art has always been your therapy before you were brave enough to give voice to your fears and tears then who really is the  better writer? Does it even matter? I've been questioned/doubted for my writing style since I can remember. But if it is MY ART. Whatever it is, how do you doubt the validity of words coming from your chest as opposed to your mind? I'm not trying to sound "smart". I am merely trying to find healing through expressing pain in pages. You might think, "one trick pony". It's cool. I get it. But you can never assume to judge me because all I've ever related to is ...
