Mommy, I am so very sorryPlease don't be mad when he wakes next to meI know you see the way he looks at meI know it makes you so very angryI know I deserve it when you punish me You told me he's weak when it comes to meI tried to say no like you told meI tried to be strong, but he got meanI know you pretend not to seeWhen he sneaks back to your room when you're asleepPlease don't be disappointed in meI promise to try hard...
It was a mistake she tries to sayShe tries to hide her face awayShrinking and cowering so afraidCrying and pleading, attempts to dissuadeBut a boot does not hear as it swiftly kicksJustice is dealt with large hard fistsHands grow heavy as punishment is doneLittle spirit broken fight is goneWatching her crumble satisfiedWith one last jab, he turns aside Alone in the dark, she sobs in silenceWhispers she's sorry full of rep...
I’m falling downI know I’m gonna drownI’m fighting hardBut the truth is I am scarredI have tried to runBut this can not be wonI know I will failBut I will not bail I will fight till the endEven as I descend Though I grow blearyThere is comfort in expiryThis shall be my final featHolding on till my defeat
As I sit and, thinkI try not to blinkTears well up insideNever to be criedWaiting, wonderingMemories skippingSticking, spinning roundA film without soundI turn, spin, twist, twirl,I trip, fall, unfurlStand, stagger, crumbleUnbalanced stumbleCollapse, giving wayShow hidden decayThe festering pastBursts through at long lastOne eye looks warySees the dark scaryOne knows, looks awayNot captured todaySoon I find my eyesLook th...
This poem only available on Stories Space. If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.The steam curls in the downlit beam like the fingers of cigarette smoke crawling their way into virgin lungs;Like your lies crawled their way underneath my skin;Like your venom crawled its way into my heart.The motes of moisture push against each other like unruly teenagers in an ugly playground;Like your words pushed my thought...
I needed you; Where were you?You promised me, you know -I needed you;Where were you?And then you didn’t show - I needed you;Where were you?It happened once again -I needed you;Where were you?You lost track of time with friends - I needed you;Where were you?I’ve had it up to here -I needed you; Where were you?Have I made that clear? I needed you;Where were you?I am done with this -I needed you;Where were you?Don’t give m...
I loved you the most I would've done anything to make you happy But you treated me like a ghost I tried so hard to make you happy All I got back was remorse The more I tried The more I seemed to push you away I just wanted you to be happy What did I do wrong? Please be happy Why are you crying? What did I do? Just please be happy I love you I said stop crying! Are you happy now? Your face is bruised I'm sorry Please s...
Why do you haunt my memories the moment something goes wrong I can not take a breath I can not seem to see I am sealed in my faith in the ashes of the sea say it you yell do it or I beat you lift your hand to slap and I fall to my knees I say it once more you demand so smugly the taste of blood is strong the broken bones are apparent in my head I am yelling you ass You monster The words that come out my mouth Sir oh yes s...

It's a beautiful day outside blue skies not a cloud But in here it's stormy Grey clouds building thick with no signs of clearing.You have really done it this time alienated everyone that helps you, the people you called friends. Even the person you call your best friend,the person you always asked for help And he bailed you out, if he could.What are you going to do now? Do you have a plan for when you get out of hospit...
Little lost girl found. The Christmas tree fell for the second time today. What is left of the ornaments are now strewn across the floor of the living room. Most people may find this sad and upsetting, but not me. I just sit here in the mist of all the debris and laugh. What a perfect picture of my life, in shambles on the ground, little bits and pieces scattered all over the place. The pain and frustrations of the past 1...
