We no longer talk
But I still sing our old songs
And they taste like you
musings from hell
We no longer talk
But I still sing our old songs
And they taste like you
Bearing motherhood
Does not give birth to women
Womanhood comes free
I stand there, exposed
While across the bedroom floor
My mind is laid bare
There is no meaning
No purpose for existence
And that’s heavenly
It’s silent. They’re here.
The unwelcome visitors
are returning home.
Flecks of her pale skin
Falling upon the seared earth
A New World is near
They say you can’t pour from a glass that is empty.
But what am I supposed to do when my water becomes stagnant.
Let’s stop filling our cups
and let me run dry.
Your make believe god
Exists only in scripture
There is no mercy
All those dirty thoughts
You thought you hidden away
Are catching fires
I watch as you speak;
attempting to memorize
the curve of your lips.
