Within The Skin Of A Word

The world around me is a ravenous monster
He does not stop to chew his meal
Rather he swallows whole, body and soul
If you search his inner parts for a heart

Don'T Give Up On Love

I'm sorry that I hurt you
I hope I didn't ruin it for her
I hope you let her know you
Let her love you like I should have done

That's The Thing About Pain...

That's the thing about pain
It demands to be felt
No matter how unwilling the victim
There are no exceptions allowed

A Daughter's Journey

A Daughter's Journey
Prologue
She didn't want the conversation to end; though they had discussed most of what she wanted. It had gone so well and she had so many questions. And so many things to tell him. She wanted to catch up on his life and to catch him up on hers. She really wanted to know how'd he been. What more could he tell her so that she could understand him better? She hadn't had a real conversation with him since she was 14; It was a conversation that she wanted to disappear from her memory. She wanted to get to know the man he had become since then. She realized though that now wasn't the best time. "Baby steps", she told herself as she looked at him. "This is the beginning. No need to push it." He must have noticed her struggling to find a way to say they'd talked for long enough. Smiling, he looked at her and asked, "Can I have a hug? "
She stood and as he approached to wrap his arms around her, she closed her eyes and hugged him back. It had been at least 2 years since they had last embraced and even in the years before that, she cringed inside as she reluctantly allowed him to hug her. She never hugged him back and whenever she'd allow him to, she felt her stomach in her throat. Today, though, she hadn't felt anything. In fact, she felt better than she had in a long time. She didn't want to let go, but she knew if she didn't she might begin to cry. She stepped back— and holding in her tears— she exhaled and smiled at him.

Dear Father,

Where were you when I needed you?
I was in so much pain.

Waiting In Agony

Waiting for my phone to ring
Yet trying to ignore my desire to hear your voice
Desperate times call for desperate measures
Just send me a text, please

A Poet's Plight

I have here my pen and pad
And now I plan to prove my genius

If I can only get this stupid pen to work

Lost And Found

Lost in a sea of emotions
Lost in the depths of my own thoughts
Lost without any notion
Lost and left distraught
