Sometimes a girl buries her feelings…

Rejected
He stood her
up in front
of thousands.
A last second
skype to share
his intention.
With a smile
stating it was him
not her.
But she knew
it was a lie of
biblical proportion.

I will stand
among the
millions…
I will grieve
for those to
come…
I will speak
for those who
cannot…
I will listen
to those who
can…
I will fight
to expose the
guilty…

Grandpa Lee
She cringed when
they made the last
turn toward Bromide.
He would be there
smelling of cherry
bourbon and chew.
His whiskers burning
her cheeks when he
forced a sloppy kiss.
His hands squeezing
her chest as he laughed
about her growing titties.
His knee forcing her
legs apart as she struggled
to breathe beneath his weight.
Is it no wonder she
stabbed him at ten, her
bastard of a grandfather.

Her heart
weighs heavily
in her chest…

You’re Late
The dark closed in around her
headlights barely picking up
the white and yellow lines.
Hands clenched the wheel
so hard she felt the blood
pulsing in her rigid wrists.
She was late, the weather unruly
and time ticked away one
second at a time against her.
In the drive she sat, steeling
herself for the punishment
waiting on the other side of the door.
He would be there, waiting
with emotionless black eyes
and the weapon of his choosing.

Sometimes a girl needs to dance alone
with nothing on but her panties…

Music
She fills her soul
with music, heavy
on the bass to drown
out the voices of
the past.
Reasonable Doubt
One man’s fate
lays in the hands of twelve.
Each story has
been told and told again.
Evidence viewed
and discussed ad nauseam.
Conclusions challenged
by the devil’s advocate.
Until minds are
swimming in murky doubt.
The question then,
is it reasonable…

Normal
He tries to tell
her that things will settle.
He strokes her
hair and kisses her forehead.
Whispering words of
assurance that all will be well.
He doesn’t understand
that chaos is her normal.
