Honestly

Let it burn.

The signs were ignored,

The people were left to fend for themselves,

Left malnourished.

You can’t easily right this wrong.

Wanderlust

The time has come.

Its past midnight and the road is calling me once more.

The cool air that was once abhorred yet now adored.

Hypnotically I walk past the broken promises and false confidence,

Stepping, hopefully, into the brutal, beautiful, and truthful path of life.

I’m angry that my panties get wet when I hear the low timbre of your voice.

My heart races when I hear you breathing on the phone,

The deep chuckle,

The sigh followed by the dial tone.

I cannot deny,

The feeling of satisfaction I feel,

Whenever I leave that house in Noe Valley depleted and bone dry.

His eyes told a story of pain.

Because he was rejected,

He constantly deflected…

Me.

His eyes told a story of pain,

Causing me to lose and never gain.

Thoughts of you tingle my psyche in the most unpleasant of ways.

I watched silently as you destroyed every naive part of me.

No longer innocent, adrift at sea.

-N

I wonder would they love me if they knew my innermost thoughts.

I’ve been split for so long I don’t know how to be one whole person.

No rhyme or reason to this madness,

apparently it just exists within me.

-N

I’m living an impossible lie.

It’s killing me inside,

My own soul can barely reside.

Even still I try.
