Melissa Joy Chesky Poems

Dear God,
I tried to talk to you in a different way.
But I think the Christian Prayer Messaging
Isn't working for me.
...

“Okay, you’ll only
feel a slight
sting as it
moves through.”
...

The fire pulses
Like the many young hearts
Across the universe of tragedy.
And the wind sighs and moans
...

I knew she wasn't well,
That forgettable 6 years ago.
She would forget dates,
And other minor things of that sort.
...

Everything screams,
"I told you so."
I walk back
Defeated in my own game
...

My last strand of straw has been laid,
My last piece of thread has been frayed,
And everything falls, like glass pricks
As I sink low and defeat sticks.
...

It's just too risky.
Should I tell you my past?
The odds of you leaving
are too great from me to conceive.
...

I want to drink you all away,
All of your words and implications,
The intoxication of asphyxiation
Is too delicious.
...

My head's about to meet a fate,
My heart's going to disintegrate.
My eyes have been brought to tears,
My mind has succumbed to its worst fears.
...

I hate your nimble fingers and your soft caresses.
I hate your hair and your pronounced cologne.
I hate your eyes and your five o'clock shadow,
And I hate your voice and the words only you could say to make me feel so alone.
...
