I’m all twisted Like a pinch of lemon to your tongue I felt your balm I felt your deep I felt your deep words I sensed your order
By Melissa Ingoldsby4 years ago in Poets
feedback from a rejection Like feedback from a radio wave It doesn’t hit As a huge wave It’s like little pin pricks
in a deep moor under a new sun, I found myself wading Waiting ***** **** There was a rapturous fire Inside your moor
These are not my waters Crimson of red Like the war paint I once dread Rebecca, I’m told is who I am Stripped of my native soul
I think in black and white I dream in your hue It’s static Static Static pressure against my brain tissue. I dream in black and white
my man love me good deep down deep down, he says he’s just angry just angry cause he’s misunderstood **** I read late at night
I can’t be You don’t think I need to You don’t think I have to I give everything to my heart; my children to you And you think it’s so little,
I hear you in the other room I hear you hating me I can feel your anger Your sorrow Fear. I hear you in that other room
I see a split image when I look at my reflection Many facets Many lines drawn, crossed Severed I see him in my eyes,
Could there be a new arrangement of tiny atoms That can recreate the colors in your eyes? Is it a place where light and dark merged
it’s like when Nina yelled Mississippi Goddam To an indifferent audience I will shout it To the whole world, To wake you up.
I’m not a poet Listen up I’m not a broken TV Listen UP I’m bout to get up and leave this life I’m bout to crawl into my throat,
