Padre

A photo of you just
Stole
the air from my lungs.
Took the heart from my chest,
and threw it to the floor.
I heard that horrible laugh;
I smelled the stale smoke,
and the scent of cold.
The smell of you.
Your face smiled out,
Lifeless.
It occurs;
I’d never seen you
happy
before..

Divorce

An innocent banknote;
Passed from him to me;
From me to her.
Fifteen years of silence;
Hundreds of miles apart;
They will never know
how close
they are
today.

Relinquished

They say;
My eyes are his.
Mt blood is his.
My skin is his.
My laugh is his.
I am a portrait of someone else’s past;
And the artist will never lay eyes on his masterpiece.

Invincible

I will never stand alone.
My mother’s hand is always in mine;
My lover is nestled against my chest;
My best friend whispers into my ears.

Give me a diamond,
And you will be with me always.
