Unfinished.©

Broken promises

Fall through 

Like tears

In the gaps of a spider web.

Gutted,

Like a fish

Taken apart in the sink.

The drip of the faucet

Doesn't wash away the the blow.

Disappointment

Lies still -

Pooling like blood,

Like anger, like envy;

It sits.

[poeticdahlias]

Mama.©

There is

An inexplicable empty

In the Cavern of my chest -

A longing for something to replace

A need that was never met.

Behind wary, fatigued eyes

There's an ache, ache, aching. 

Please, 

Let me rest,

Somewhere where a maternal hand

Could hold me close.

In a dream my longings are a reality, 

Lasting just a moment before cruelly taken;

Peace torn from my arms.

One day, things will be okay.

[poeticdahlias]

Feral.©

I am not an angry dog, 

I am sweet, 

I am quiet.

I'll lay by your feet,

Although you kick me away, 

I won't even so utter a whine.

If I ever did dare bite, 

I'll lie so still

While you tear my teeth from my flesh.

I'll sit so quietly

And never make a noise -

I understand my silence is your peace.

What else can I be other than grateful?

[poeticdahlias]

Daily.©

Wake up,

Just enough to make a meal;

Onwards I go on.

School, 

Study hard;

Comprehend, revise, test.

Lunch, 

I am sat with friends -

My family.

Bell rings,

Drag your feet

To the front door.

I am home -

Weary, 

Am I happy?

[poeticdahlias]

Cherry Vodka.©

You're a party girl at heart

Drowning in booze while

Ecstasy dreams take flight. 

Cherry girl, 

Cmon' be my cherié

I'll hold you in the night, 

I'll listen to you rant your

half-sober dreams

While we both know damn well

that there's nothing

to stop them from

                                  Shattering.

Cherié, 

I think we're both lost -

You and me. 

We're both drowning

And neither can get out

So lets stay in this limbo together

And chink a glass to booze drowned dreams.

[poeticdahlias]

Single Use Plastic Girl.©

Single use, 

Throw away plastic girl;

Use me once and get my hopes high,

Have me hanging then leave my side -

Stuck in a tree as you walk away,

I think my use by has passed me by.

[poeticdahlias]

Burning the Flame.©

Burning the flame for the warmth, 

bitter coldness bites away

At the little sanity left. 

Cold winters;

The raging revenge of Mother Nature's fury -

Perhaps I had deserved what I'd gotten, 

Perhaps it my wrongdoings are coming back to me? 

Red flames, red glow

Sometimes it's harder to let go

When it was the only thing

Keeping you warm

Was that bleeding candle;

It's wax burning like a seething crown of thorns.

Perhaps I just got too close

To the strange infatuation of the flame. 

Perhaps I was just a foolish kid,

Too arrogant to let go,

Too scared to be

Alone.

[poeticdahlias]

Star Girl.©

I look at you, really look at you, 

All I can see from you is beauty;

your soul, heart, being. 

You're beautiful.

When dawn rises to bask the sweet earth, 

It only means that our time has come to part.

You hold me tight and I do too, 

The soft whispered promises 

And the look in your eyes

Are the brightest galaxy of them all.

And when we're dancing in your room, 

Dancing to music on the radio

You draw in your lips

Oh so softly to touch mine, 

Your lipstick staining my lips;

It must be the closest I've been

To touching the stars up above.

From comets to nebulas and cosmic dust;

I love you, 

You are beautiful.

[poeticdahlias]

Hung.©

There are days

Where I miss

Being alive.

My limp body

Hangs

In the yard. 

Stuck somewhere between

Being dead

And alive, 

I now haunt

This lifeless garden

With my undead soul.

[poeticdahlias]

Blinded, Entranced.©

You drew blood 

In the name of love, 

Whispering to me that I looked lovely.

And despite the fact

That my face was black and bruised, 

It was your palms I traced

To read the creases of a supposed future with you.

Strung by strings;

Lover, you have me

Dancing in circles

For the sake of your

Binding, blinding love spell.

Lover, won't you let me be free?

Turning, tripping, entranced

You leave me with empty promises

With your poker victim face

pointing its finger at me.

Lover, 

I am not your pawn

So I will myself to be

Free.

[poeticdahlias]

Galaxies & Black Holes.©

We'll burn bright

Till the emotions we contain bubble over,

Collapsing in on ourselves

And eat us both whole.

It's an all consuming,

Messy and shameless love;

Both of us are shattered and broken,

But pulling out those glass shards

Hurt more than pretending they're not there.

Sweetheart, we were doomed from the start.

Like blackholes, we eat away at the other,

But it's alright; We swore 'til death to us part.

We're dying and taking the other with.

Besides,

That's how the prettiest galaxies are made anyways.

[poeticdahlias]

Hunger.©

If you are to

Grab my heart and eat it,

Pluck it from the branches that are my ribs

And hold it so tenderly,

Careful not to dig into its core.

Peel off each layer of flesh,

To reveal the beating vessel underneath;

Peel it slowly and carefully,

Not like Man who shreds and tears away the beating flesh,

Only to leave with stained hands of blood.

No, you must uncover each layer gently,

Like a deer who laps gently at the river mouth,

Careful not to take too much

Or dawdle too long in case a lion comes near.

[poeticdahlias]

Daughter.©

You are made of swinging fists

And blood choked lungs, 

Whatever there was

of the sweet child before

Is now far lost to the void.

You are your father's daughter;

Always drowning in your own fierce rage, 

But with your mothers whisper

Your voice had always been swept away

Before you even had the chance to scream.

You've always believed

There was a sea brewing inside of you;

Drowning and pulling you down, 

Right back to your curse, 

Down below to the one they'd passed to you. 

Maybe you've wondered

If it was something wrong with you, 

But to seek help? 

God, no,

You couldn't accept help for the life of you.

[poeticdahlias]

Yearning.©

I've been yearning,

Yearning for something more.

I cannot serve my lover, He does not have what I desire.

So I'll keep yearning and thirsting for her,

Even though she might very well be my forbidden fruit.

[poeticdahlias]

Dear Alcohol-Dumb Diary.©

"Angels don't die."

You promised me,

I remember that day, do you? 

Their souls were created by Gods touch, 

Sweetened with innocence 

That got screwed over the years.

Angels don't die, 

They just become wretched over time.

That must be how I feel about you, 

But still, I can't help but not to hate you.

So much for emotions being human,

You've left me drunk on naivety and regret.

I miss you, Angel,

Come fly back down to me, please.
