Comfort Food

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

With each delicious bite I take
I can feel the stomach pains beginning
Sweet chocolate, creamy center
Fending off sorrows with tasty goods
Training them to be timid, like a dog with her bone

The second course
Sweeter than the first
The stomach pains grow again
Of each bite I’m wary, but I continue
Maybe the stomach pains will distract me

With the last bite, I look around for more
Sitting alone, hoping eternal the taste in my mouth
Regret sinks in, but I do not mind
Bring on the stomach pains
What else have I tonight

Lifeless (Taken)

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Shallow words
Can’t escape my chest
They have nowhere to go
Open doors
Remain locked
Keeping me out
Risen Gates
I dare not enter
For fear they will fall
Hollow rooms
Imprison me
From my true desires
Heavy chains
Weigh me down
Locked onto myself
Flowing water
I dare not stray
For fear I will be washed away
Rising steps
I cannot climb
My strength for now eludes me
To the sky
I dare not look
There’s nothing there for me
And dreams
I cannot have
For fear they will be taken from me
What help
If any
Can be given to the lost?
The lifeless?
The taken?
And with whom
May I bargain
For my life?

Plea

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

Every action you take…
Every emotion you fake…
Every dieing you wake…
Just a plea for help…
