Self appointed spokesperson for Jesus
My, how judgmental
In a brief scan of your FB page
I see your God wears rage
I see your God wears a red hat
What does your good book say about idols?
I think you should check your hatred
I think you should #shed your rage

The closest you've ever come to me
Was with tentative regard
The farthest you've ever been from me
Was with secrets to discard
I stand now before you
Hand extended to you
Come ready to walk with me
In our world built for two

You say you fantasize about other women
You said it very flippantly
I choked it down
And wondered what is wrong with me
When I was married
I sat on the floor
Holding up pieces of lingerie
He said,
"not that, something else"
And I wondered what was wrong with me

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

You'd been there
For 26 years
I came in
And got you out
Reached in
Pulled you back to life
You left just shy of 28 days
Was it worth it
Everything I could have predicted
But thought you'd love me
You proved everyone right
Just another statistic
And you're still scamming today

I feel the fade
I feel the let go
The #crisscross race
Down the #rabbithole
A last ditch effort
I'm so tired
Am I blunted
Is everything smoothed over?
I'm too far gone to know

You had a #labyrinth in your card
I have a #labyrinth in my brain
Inherited darkness
Dark depression
As dark as the folds of my #cloak
Will you #lace your fingers in mine
Will you love me thru oceans of time
Will you #silence the doubt in my mind

I am the #ice queen
Words unexpressed
Suppressed by my own hex
Hanging on with ketamine
Will you stay
Will you go
Only you will know
I cannot compare
With the intimacy
Of 28 years
You shared with her
My love but a soft feline purr

At home in the darkness
Controlling my own little world
Until the depression I inherited
Starts pulling me down
I know too much
I've seen too much
Born an old soul
How many years to go?
Cynical realist
The lobby of life
Waiting for the number to be called
A sobering #vignette of my life

Countdown to the letdown
The U.S. chose the abusive ex
Took away our rights
We'll adjust our sites
They'll not #silence us
Wives with buyer's remorse
Beating an old horse
They have to sleep sometime
Waiting up late nights
They should be afraid of us
If they were wiser
They would get out

"Wonder what she looks like layin' down"
Two old men
Owned the corner fruit stand
She was #silent, sick to her stomach
Instinct said danger
Rode home to Mom
"stay right in front of the house where I can watch you"
Did I do something wrong?
Just riding my bike
I was only 8.

#vss365

Thank you, sir. May I have another
The big eyed sheep said #yes
We've jumped off the cliff for you, sir
Injected purification by bleach
Critical parts of sir's garbled speech
Conjunction junction, what's our dysfunction
Choosing the abusive ex again

My #tardigrade is retrograde
Mercury to be exact
He's so moody yet I remain hopeful
I let down my guard
He draws me in, says he'll be nice
Then commits the most awful acts
I'm so gullible
Because he has the exterior
Of a huggable, cuddly bear
