Eluded-Bullets Flying

Dangled words
pulled in
wrapped around warm
love is not here
though soon it shall return
as I begin to forget you.
The way your touch felt
when you skimmed your hand
across my naked skin.
The way your lips tasted
sweet summer wine
hay scented air
fires to brighten the night.
Dance with me
one more time
I begged
I pleaded
I could not understand
why you wanted to beat me.
In consequence
I failed myself.
I bled for you
allowed you into my head
into my bed.
As the year comes close
to when I was destroyed
I have to whisper:
Happy Anniversary
Am I ever glad I dodged that bullet.

Cherish

Blinded.

I lost myself

my truth

allowing you to encompass

swallow me whole

until the end

chewed up

spit out

bewildered at the sudden death.

I forgot who I was.

Thought I had been yearning for you

truth is though

I yearn for what was perceived….

I loved you once.

I thought you were my final stopping place. 

I thought I had finally found home.

A dream

poor little princess

needs to be saved 

needs a knight to make her whole. 

The idea of you

the potential

the man I know is inside of you

tears gather

falling

forever saddened you shall never see

never know him.

Sweet poison lips

I shall miss.

Lies

sugar coated darts

I remember my worth.

I am a Queen.

Sacrifice myself no more

I remember now 

how to roar.
