TW: Domestic Violence/SA
No one is coming to save me.
No one is coming to save me.
I know this for a fact.
No one is coming to save me.
As I brace for the next attack.
No one is coming to save me.
They know and they don’t care.
No one is coming to save me.
When his hands are in my hair.
No one is coming to save me.
I wish I could say I ran.
No one is coming to save me.
Don’t think he was less of a man.
No one is coming to save me.
Brought within an inch of my life.
No one is coming to save me.
One day I’ll be his wife.
No one is coming to save me.
I hoped to save myself.
No one is coming to save me.
My head against the shelf.
No one is coming to save me.
And no one ever did.

Fall in Love
Write the poem
Sleep in his bed
Fall in love
Again and again
Sing the song
Kiss her head
Fall in love
Again and again
Create the art
Know what’s ahead
Fall in love
Again and again
-L.R.

Ouchy
Knee scrapes
Heart breaks
Eyes of murky blue
Truth or dare
Cut my own hair
I’ll always be there
For you

Stage
Ache deeply
in your gut
Think deeply
in your brow
Love deeply
in your chest
Break deeply
Heal deeply

Sisyphus
Heart ache,
Head still,
Creature of the deep,
Goes in for the kill.
It piles up,
Like I know it will,
Crashes down,
Even harder still.
Heart ache,
Head still,
The mirror taunts,
Left with nil.
Struggle at the bottom,
Feel the damp chill,
Climb all the way up,
Roll back down the hill.
-L.R.

I have been touched by hands much rougher but yours are definitely not the softest.
I yearn for softness again.
