she hears sounds
Sees the lips moving..
meaningless words
The praises bestowed upon her full of empty air
Choking her silent until she couldn't care
muting her with expectations
silencing her with his cold indifference
He shut her down by dismissing her thoughts
Unaware that she was disappearing into the words..
she heard & felt all the judgement until she wore it like her skin
buried underneath
She became invisible..
No one saw the destruction she had become
All was not well within the walls of her home
Nothing would revive the corpse of her soul
he loved her cruelly until she was no more

Escape Artist..
Published July 17, 2017 by lamarrwenrichThe stillness surrounds her
It's all familiar as her eyes open
bringing life to her mind
Her heart hearing the words before they escape his lips..
everything has changed everything remains the same..
all of life's moments filtering through her as she hungrily laps it up
absorbing every drop
Ravenous for change
Clinging to hope
Believing every moment has its' reason and each step a purpose..
the very precipice she teeters at determining whether she flees or stays..
Desperate to settle
anxious for her heart to breathe
She simply chooses to believe
As if it will all fall into place
Knowing the highest cliff she could jump from
Is trust
there's no reason to run anymore
leaving behind the chains that strangled her heart
and the handcuffs that bound her tight
the ropes slip off her feet
and the old becomes new
She is confined no more…
Quiet Roar..
Published July 15, 2017 by lamarrwenrichrumbling
shaking
jumbling me to my core
not sure how it started
when it began
or where it will end
was there a hello
Is there a goodbye
is it from within
Where does it go..
are you just a dream
I have direction no more
I’m laying flat out on the floor
I’m going to love you a little bit more
Until i hear that quiet roar
Not Today..
Published July 2, 2017 by lamarrwenrichEverything is spinning
all meshed together
Good slipping away,
bad gaining power,
happy & sad
all bleeding as one
Threatening to bury us in its’ mess
we are fading in&out..
Who will break the fall
for we will not shatter..
Though like broken sticks and broken stones turn to dust, so will our bones
we are still standing
not blowing in the wind yet
Not today..
Hold me tight
we will walk & fall united
Together as one
You’re my hero
I’m your weakness
We are the best of it all
Made from love
Here’s to you & me
and our hearts’ content…
