Brandi Guthrie Poems

He said “Hi” today.
Oh God, what did I say?
“Good morning” or something,
It was total instinct.
...

You follow naive and blind to the lies they spread.
You mind your manners and swallow what they`ve said.
They will narrow your options til you`re too tied to choose.
And after the devastation clears, who will you stand to lose?
...

What`s wrong with me is what`s ill in you.
You forced my hand and degraded my view.
And with a blade, you`ve placed me here,
Substituted my innocence with unending fear.
...

I see into you through your eyes, I see your true intention.
I can read your wicked mind, sins you`d rather not mention.
An immoral heart such as yours must squirm inside its cage
And fill your nights with tormented dreams of guilt and rage.
...

Caution. Tread lightly, for I am easily broken.
This bleeding heart of mine is more often left open.
Each time I get ready to heal another gash appears.
And there`s nothing left inside me now restraining back my tears.
...

The itch is driving in too deep.
Where tranquility refuses to keep.
I`m screaming, I`m burning,
And on the inside, I`m churning.
...

No one else`s eyes get me lit.
I swoon, melt and quite forget,
To blink, swallow, stand or sit.
I`m twisted up for you.
...

Here it is again,
The creeping ache.
The endless dread
Takes a scarlet shade.
...

Warmness… that`s what I know,
As soon as your skin meets mine.
Out from your touch emitting slow
Is a bliss bitter sweetly divine.
...

All of me and things I`ll never be,
Evaporation and what I cannot see.
Confound and cloud my reality…
In this life of death and finality.
...
