Miss Me Words

-
Don't you miss me
Don't you wish we
were still 
spoons 
and peanut butter
laughing 
at each other
video games
and full names
I wonder if 
you're working on 
fixing this
if you're 
working out
the kinks
the things
that keep you 
stuck 
inside your head
keep you on 
the other side
of an empty 
bed
are you working
on your fitness
your mental
the promise of 
giving me 
the gentle 
man 
you promised
hand on your heart
honest
attempts 
at being the best
for yourself 
for your health
and ours
Don't you miss me 
Don't you wish we 
had roots
that flowered
at your expert hands
for hours 
and hours
of euchre and uno
music and movies
and talking 
into the night
and wrongs 
that we know 
how to make right
and don't you 
want my waves
my jangles
my soft curves
my tight angles
my sweet scents 
our oh so perfect
lack 
of pretense 
Don't you cry 
Don't you crawl 
into 
the dark place
Don't you miss me
in your space
I wonder 
if you spend your time
being sad
or taking under
the tasks
the steps
it will take 
to have me back 
Don't you miss me 
Don't you want 
that
Don't you 
wish we were on track
to be something 
like always 
like wide open 
spaces
scary 
peaceful 
private 
calming places
giving you dreams
leaving you 
wanting 
but are you living 
it seems 
you're constantly 
haunted 
your ghosts pressing 
between us 
conjuring ways
to break us
take us 
down 
far 
away 
I wonder 
if you're fighting
or you're trying 
to forget my name 
Don't you miss this 
Don't you 
wanna
stay

Bargain Words

24 with 3 kids  and he  is the man of her mothers dreams  or so it seemed  when she was pressed  to impress him  mommy stressed that she dress in  something to catch his eye  and I guess  she made her attempt  cause she caught him  but really it was not needed  he was bartering for a place to stay  and she was offered  as a bargain on the rent  take my daughter  no money spent  and so two lost souls  got together  got the better  of life  man and wife  and weight and struggle  and stress and yes  it was somehow  more than she had planned for herself  she felt suffocated by life  by love  by us  3 kids and this is just too much  she found her feet  and backpedaled quick  out the door  down the street  taking all the heat for being  "that kind of mother"  walking away...

Diluted Words

self love cause I  let myself  cry in the shower hard ugly  racking  sobs chest  burning  lungs  gasping asking me to relax self love cause  I  admit to myself that I'm unhappy unworthy under self imposed pressures that I never  ease up on self love  cause  I know deep in the places I never let  anyone see I am nothing no one  never have been  never having the strength  to be my own best friend self love  cause I let myself remember  what was done  and I let the ache wash over  me hot as this water hot as this shame  that I claim when I think  of opening up  of being vulnerable  self love cause I won't ever be  that weak  I will keep  my distance my dismissive  dark thoughts  at the forefront  of my mind  self love  cause I'm too broken to fuck  around and find love  find out that I was right  this whole time ...

Romance Words

I am looking for  a little bit  of romance I am weak for it in need of it the sweet  of it a confection  of care and feelings  with  delicate  textures buttery  vestures heartfelt  melt in my mouth  gestures I want kindness wrapped  like ribbons in my hair lace edged everything warm  low  lights soft  heat  gentle pressure urging pleas of please lavender  and velvet  soft at the back  of knees plush lush  rugs  to caress  my spine to beg me  to recline strawberry jam  on golden  spoons  under a golden  moon  hung low in the sky stars glowing the indigo blanket of night  the soft pastels  of dawn  sun casting gentle shadows on a verdant lawn checkered blankets wicker hampers a day  blue and bright hands in hands soft smiles bubblegum blushed cheeks subtle glances asking all the things  I need flowers  flirting ...
