Now You Wonder

You are the one who stirs my pain
in every way.
You and you're evil ways.
You held my hands and confessed your heart breaking ways.
Yes. You.
You and your blue eyes and brown hair.
Devilish smile and Christian prayer.
You dared to enter my sanctuary and praise.
You said you would think about loving me.
You said I was like a proverbs wife,
loving God and loving my neighbor.
A perfect wife to love.
But who wants that?
So you left me and broke my heart.
I wasn't your style.
And now you wonder why the world is falling apart.
Yes, you broke the wrong girl's heart.
You devil

Shy Suicide

Disclaimer: This poem was inspired by someone else's struggle with suicide. Don't worry I am not suicidal. Suicide, why do you hide beneath my white skin? Suicide, why do use my fake smile for your sin? Suicide, why do you keep your cover until the rope is tight, the trigger is pulled, the pills are swallowed, the wrists slit? A black phantom behind my face. A dark word behind my lips. A night in my day. Suicide, why do you ensnare all my companions? They didn’t know. They didn’t see. They didn’t recognize who had overtaken me. You left a message on paper; they read in disbelief. Suicide, you are shy, and yet you have the audacity to kill me.

Beautiful, as she meandered into the profile picture of her dreams. Hair meticulously styled, angle right, and artificial light to highlight that which is dark. I thought, certainly she was someone to befriend, yet she wanted nothing to do with me. She loved to sin. I found a woman with a double chin, bags under her eyes, walking around the block, taking it all in. I thought her time had come and gone, nothing more to my life could she add. Wishing she’d be a mere acquaintance, I left after our small conversation, not recognizing she was the definition of a friend.

Why?

Why does justice hurt like hell, Mama? Why does justice hurt like hell? Why does the truth do so much damage, Papa? Why does the truth do so much damage? Why does righteousness burn like a fire, Daughter? Why does righteousness burn like a fire? Why does love sting like death, Son? Why does love sting like death?
