Maybe this time I'm afraid to fall in love
Cause the last few times left me crippled on the way back up
And even if you seem safe
Truth is no one ever really ever wanted to stay
But keep going with your thread and your twine
Sewing this heart, easing this mind
Maybe this wont die like all the rest
And you'll keep my heart safe with yours inside your chest.
I keep building castles in my mind
"Your Majesty" will do just fine
Cause I'm tired of burning bridges
Living on broken wishes
Fighting battles with irrelevant bitches
Excuse me for my language
Cause I know a thing or two about female anguish
Being broken down before we can rise
Living under that smiling disguise
Holding close to my heart this time
Sick and tired of being run down
Finally time to wear that crown
Sitting on a thrown, Queen
Yeah, time I start looking up to me.
Summer breeze on my skin
Love in my eyes
Feeling the sunshine and good vibes
Ready to keep on with the good times.
I've seen your type before
Bed never empty
Glass always full
Charm and a devilish smile
Darkness in your soul.
Boy, take me for granted
Don’t take me when I’m yours
But when I finally leave
You’ll wish you had come with me.
You've got your vices
Lord knows your baggage is as heavy as mine
And this girl's heart's been shattered and broken
Just too many times.
You'll keep trying to make me see
That maybe this is meant to be
Riding in your passenger seat, laughing
Rapping, doing my best to sing
That smile you wear, stays on just for me
But baby, I'm damaged in the worst way
And you deserve better
Than someone who's only instinct is to stray.
Break my heart
Rip it out
I don’t want to feel this
To know what you’re truly about.
"Sometimes."
Your words hang heavy on me
Suffocating me like a noose around my neck
Slowly forcing the breath out of me
Your attempt to be pacifying
Crushing in my chest
Breaking my heart for the best.
This sadness runs deep like an ocean
Waves crashing over, drowning
Waiting for the lifeboat to save me
But it never comes.
I remember every night, every fight
All the ways you’d fix it, make it right
And these memories invade
Not allowing a clearing of headspace
Like that night parked, front seat of your car
Facing out across the water
Your lips all over my skin
My hands in your hair while we sinned
The passion and desire,
Our flames burning higher and higher
But the cold and rain stormed in
With the violence and swiftness of a hurricane
Now all our songs fall silent
As you decided us was no longer worth trying
My mind will race and retrace
Until I can no longer visualize your face
Searching for when we lost us
But that peace I’ll never find
And my love for you I can’t deny
What I’d give to still call you mine.
You’ve faded to me
Like an old photo by the window,
A page left out in the rain
The horizon after the sun sets.
I’ve lost the lines in your face
The sound of your voice, a laugh
Nothing but a few memories have stayed.
Now, I can finally breathe.
I am clean. I am free.
You always said I just couldn't see
When I think about it maybe I was blinding
myself to the negativity
But it's hard with this mountain of stress on
me, man I can barely breathe.
Going under, with these thoughts booming in
my brain like thunder
Crawling through these days just one after
another, want to just stay up under the covers
Can't stop, the world don't wait
Only I can determine my own fate
Persevere through these storm clouds to
find my own escape
And our only greatness in this world is the
greatness that we create
So with a push and shove
I will raise above
I'm gonna earn my own crown
Sittin' on top, never lookin' back down.
I find myself working on my posture
Trying to stand a little bit taller
Which lately has been a lot easier
With the weight of you off my shoulders.
Look, ever since I've been set free
I've been finding it possible to finally be me,
And I know I can't put all that blame on you
But, shit, look at all you made me go through.
In fact, maybe a lot of that shame is on you.
I'm gonna just let that past be the past
Cause I've learned life goes just a bit too fast.
Looking for and gaining inspiration
Used to just be an aspiration
Now it feels the words just seem to happen
And the door is closed, won't let you back in.
“Do you ever miss me?”
That phrase, laying on a lit up screen had haunted my mind for a week. It wasn’t even to me, but it bothered every ounce of my being the more I dwelled on it. How dare she? It’s not her right.
“Babe?” His voiced filled me, snapping me from my thoughts, bringing my eyes to meet his. “What’s wrong? You look bothered.”
“Nothing, it’s fine.” A lie. An obvious lie that got the look of disapproval from him. “It’s just that text…” I confessed, turning away. It’s embarrassing that it bothers me, and exasperating for him.
“We’ve talked about this. I’ve told you, it doesn’t mean anything to me.” We had, he had. “I don’t. I haven’t. I won’t. She’s gone, good riddance. She was a nothing, you’re everything.” He lifted his eyebrows in concern, turning my face to his once more. “I love you, and that’s all there is to it. She’s a sad little girl, trying to cause trouble. Don’t let her win you like that.” And he was right.
I nodded, smirking lightly in agreement. There was never anything to be insecure about. He’d shown me. She was just a poison, and sometimes I couldn’t help drinking that poison, and intoxicating myself in destructive thoughts. But there he was, the remedy. The cure to a cursed mind.
He smiled back, running a hand in my hair, pulling me forward to kiss my forehead. “She’s the past, let’s leave her where she belongs.”
Soul battered Beaten, Sprawled across the floor
Dripping Draining Until she’s nothing more.
30 Day writing challenge
I remember it like it was yesterday. Sometimes you don’t realize how great a day is going to be until that great thing happens to you, and this was definitely one of those moments, but for my whole life. Never had I seen anything as beautiful, nor have I yet, as Miss Georgia Mae Banks.
From the start I could tell she was one of those fancy aristocrats daughters, coming down South so he could manage the mill for the summer. And boy, she was like a Mississippi sunset after a hot summers day of sweatin’ labor, over the lake just as the sun is breaking the horizon.
That girl took my breath away and done knocked me off my feet with her porcelain face, strawberry curls falling just past her shoulders, cherry lips so ripe you just wanted to taste them. And those eyes, the bluest damned eyes I’d never seen. The kind that looked through your soul and made you want to get down on your knees and pray to Jesus, and I’m not even that particularly religious.
It was appropriate her name was Georgia, too, named after the birthplace of her daddy, cause that girl was sweeter than any peach I’d ever tasted. And her voice was as smooth as honey, too. I knew from that first glance that she would have to be mine, and the only thing that didn’t look good on her that day was that boy she was holdin’ in her arm.
Didn’t matter though, I knew I was going to make Miss Georgia Mae Banks my wife eventually, without even needing to speak a word to her. I loved her at first sight, my heart could no longer belong to me. I wasn’t worthy of keeping it like she was. That day she entered my life was the warmest, most vibrant I had ever had. The darkest, coldest day…
Was the day she left.
30 Day writing challenge: Day 2
“Where are you ladies rushing off to? the cop questions, twitching his large, stereotypical mustache.
“Oh, just trying to get, uh, home!” I stammer, immediately feeling a sharp pain in my side from the elbow of a disapproving Cass.
“Uh huh,” he nods, suspicion in his tone. “What’s in the bag?”
“Tampons and makeup, you know, young girl shit.” Cass sasses, moving forward a little to place me behind her.
His brows furrow into a glare at her words. “I’ll need to be seeing that bag now.”
“Not without reasonable suspicion,” her voice is as stern as his.
My nerves are at max and I feel myself nervously sweating, my heart beating notably in my chest. She could be so stubborn, I didn’t want to get into trouble worse, but wouldn’t dare argue her.
Almost on queue, his shoulder radio blared, “We have a report of two young, Caucasian females, average height, blonde and dark haired, robbing a convenient store just off of Main street.”
A dirty smirk instantly went across his face, “This is Officer Davis, I believe I have the two girls with me right now, over.” He reaches his hand out for my bag. “I believe that’s reasonable enough.”
I slowly pull the bag off my shoulder, my stomach lodged in my throat, knowing of all the contraband in there that should not be.
Taking it from me hastily, he searches the bag, shaking his head. “You ladies have quite the score here. I feel it’s safe to assume you’re under 21.” He pulls out our liquid fire we had been sharing happily not even an hour ago.
“I think based off the clearly stolen goods, as well as the illegal possession of alcohol and cigarettes, and even something else if I dig deep enough, it’s time to take you ladies in.”
He begins to reach for his handcuffs when Cass springs into action. “Look, hey, come on man, we don’t have to do that.” She steps towards him, slowly to not seem threatening. “Come on,” she purrs, biting her lip a little, “Can’t we work… something out?” She twirls her dark hair around her finger, then drags it down to her mouth, sliding it in seductively.
“Cass, no, he’s like, old enough to be our dad,” I hush whisper, even though I’m sure they could both hear me.
Her emerald eyes shoot daggers at me, then soften as she turns back to him. “What do you say, daddy?” she reaches slowly, cautiously to touch him softly on the arm.
In my gut, I felt we were just making it worse. Soliciting to yourself to a cop has to be illegal. You don’t need to be savvy in law to know that that is not right. With the added fear of him being pissed we’re minors, I feel the doom falling on me. On someone of low authority, this would work. Cass was curvy, thin and one of the most beautiful beings I’d ever known. Her think, onyx hair flowed half way down her back, and her lips were the perfect half crescent moons. But her piercing green eyes were the most stunning. Still, this was big game she was trying to take down.
Officer Davis cleared his throat, throwing a quick glance around the empty street around us. After a moment of strong contemplation, and Cass sliding her tongue seductively across her lips, he leaned his head down to his shoulder radio, clicking the button to speak to the other end, “Suspects clear, I’ll keep my eyes open, over.”
A muffled response came through the other end. I couldn’t make it out, the world seemed unreal right now. It was almost like a movie, not real life, as she took him by the hand and lead him into the alley we had just emerged from. The same alley we came from so many times before.
The lump in my throat became more present, and I had to run to a decorative tree on the sidewalk and lean for support as the acid and sludge that filled my stomach made it’s way to the surface. I coughed and hacked as my burning vomit came from my nose and mouth in large heaves. The idea of my beautiful friend, doing what she was doing. That we were in this situation. What the fuck were we doing here? This was the question that always plagued my mind now. Was this how I wanted to live? Was this even really living anymore?
I place a finger to one of my nostrils, blowing hard to get the vomit out of my nasal passage. I felt my face was warm and wet, and it just occurred to me I was crying. I just wanted this to be over. I wanted us to be in our spot on the grass, laughing and not doing this.
It felt like forever, but I felt a hand on my back soon. “Oh, babe,” I hear her soft voice as her arms embrace me from behind. “It’s okay, sweetie,” Her head was on my shoulder now, and I leaned my head against hers. “It’s okay,” she swayed from side to side.
I glanced down the street just in time to see the officer emerging from the alley, his pants being zipped up as he turned to return to his vehicle.
“I can’t believe you did that, you didn’t have to…” I began, my voice cracking.
“Hey, hey, shh. Don’t you worry. I’ll take care of us, I’d do more to protect you darling. Don’t you worry about that. What do I always say, huh? We need to take care of each other. We’re in it forever, right? Soul mates.” She places a kiss on my cheek and turns me around, tucking my hair behind my ear and brushing tears from my face.
I nod wiping my nose on my sleeve, letting my eyes meet hers. “That guys a scumbag,” I insist.
She nods, smirking slightly, “They always are.”
