The Sad Girl Is In Love "The Sad Girl Is In Love" or "Her Dilemma"The Sad Girl Is In Love by ~Poet-Void
By R. J. Spring
The Sad Girl:
10:06 P.M.
My body aches for bed, I'm exhausted
But the sinking feeling inside me keeps me
Anxious. Awake.
I wish someone would find me as beautiful as I find
Human beings.
I'm strong, but only in ideas.
In my compassion, I want the dirtiest of boots
On my face
Only as long as there is a taste of a caress
At the end of every struggle of mine--
That's disgusting!
I say that,
When I'm sane,
I say:
"Never let anyone walk on you."
But in my devotion
Dog-like--
And when my knees bend to please--
I forget about being such a strong
Monument
Like a woman
The Drop Off/In or Adulthood In a momentThe Drop Off/In or Adulthood by ~Poet-Void
I'm not baby any more
I'm not your baby any more
In a moment
Give me another moment
The end of the sidewalk is coming quick
Where the street ends
The drop off
The open sea
The barracudas are my new friends
Where the tables flip
My childhood drops off a limb
Like a miscarried fig
Ants devour the bruised and babied skin
I go there
I'm on my way
On the organic assembly line, I go
It's only a matter of time
And time is on my side
I'm on the carpet, on the rug
The comfort blanket under my soft damp wrinkled feet
I've had it thus far to clutch when I fall
But they all come at me and rip it to shreds
Before my eye
Die Dumb, Die Dumb I am youngDie Dumb, Die Dumb by ~Poet-Void
And I know what dumb is
But I think that death will come regardless
Of the moves I make
I'm pretty sure
Death will come regardless
Of how well I do in this game.
The skin on my body will wrinkle and dry
The hair on my head will fall out
The teeth in my mouth will turn yellow and rot
The earth will be swallowed by the sun--
And all this time I'd been told to stand up straight
And think, "When my time here is done, it's done"
And that thinking in symbols and seeing signs
Was something wrong
And dumb, so dumb
Illogic dripped like black tar from my mouth
I've been choking on it, according to them
I've been coughing it
Christmas Spirited
