victoria martinez Poems

It takes some kind of liar
To lie about dreams
Some kind of player
To act out their own roles
...

You say you’ve taken my heart and hung it on the wall,
Whisper you think you never loved me at all
Tell me lust is what caused us to fall
Swirls and swirls of mind games,
...

I bit into my own fruit, betrayed my own eyes
Fell short of perfection, became the epitome of lies
Swam through an ocean, parted at the seam
Actually I walked along a dry path; the other side bore a land of green
...

The art of defining your life
A few simple gestures
A small note pad, a tilt of the head
Same questions but, never repeated twice
...

Home is my body in your arms
Heaven is the look you give when you’re satisfied
Perfection is the feeling I get when you say “I love you”
Happiness is a reality in this relationship
...

I would fall into a shame
Washing away the sorrow
...

Smoky area killing this fresh air
Screams coming through so unclear
Shaking from this thick air flogging my lungs
Through this screen filtering my sight
...

Golden clouds basking in the sun's light
Hovering above the dreams of the world
I have not known how to defer this pain
I have not known the right way to shed shame
...

I have a head full of memories
And a heart full of pain
I have eyes that have seen too much
And ears that heard so much
...

Let this one poem be just about me
Let this one poem engulf all my beauty
Let this one poem define my soul
Let this one poem consume me whole
