June FeirCruz Poems

I am a monster and I torture your quiet soul
Stay as far away as you can from me, before I destroy you
I didn't know this about me
But it must be true if that is the way that you see me.
...

Your ways are smooth as silk
Operating with one pure purpose
To have the upper hand
So stick with the game plan.
...

Listen to your heart, is what I want to say to you
Suffer the consequences of the decision you have made
You lost the love of your life perhaps
But you have the last laugh, the last stance, that last word.
...

I couldn't even look at your eyes
And you thought it was because of guilt
Of something I must have done or didn't do
And you wanted for me to confess.
...

I feel like a bird with broken wings
Unable to fly towards freedom
I feel like I live in a cage
Unable to see the light of the sun.
...

My wings are not broken
They were clipped so that I couldn't leave,
My legs are shackled
So that I couldn't walk away.
...

It must have been so difficult to have held your tongue all this time
Wanting to tell me what a wanton woman I am.
When all the while I have been so naive thinking that I am loved by you
When in fact you are condemning me deep in your heart times two.
...

Your fingers were doing the talking last night
Prolific words they have made.
Touching me in my secret place
Making me long for you in unexpected ways.
...

We keep trying to dicipher why the attraction
Like a moth is drawn to a flame
And when separated we are in suspended animation
Near death's door, unbearable.
...

As we speed on to the freeway of life
My heart is heavy from the impending awareness of separation
And from my pain I have uttered what I thought was a moot point
That: what I feel for you is UNIQUE
