What kind of heart is yours.

Please tell me, what kind of heart is yours?

Mine is a world of vomit, a verbal emptying of my overflowing heart and resting soul. Because yes! I am at peace and I still love. Even if some have tried to destroy me….

The hunter sky was right. Letting go made me a strong heart…and that’s what matters in the end…my strong heart and the future I want to pound with happiness.

Alone, or with you…

I don’t know yet. It depends if you wake me up and realize how incredibly powerful my whole me is.

Powerful mind. Maybe that’s the term of endearment I prefer.

If we have to choose pet names let it be an empowering one..

And yes a king, because I know only a man would transform things in gold..a woman would change things to love…

At least I do…

Because gold is nothing if your heart is fake.

Fake heart. That’s who I was for so long before meeting my love.

I hid so well under cold skies, maybe that’s where the sweetness comes from. The honey I put on my life to swallow its bitterness is still stuck in my teeth.

Nothing can wash it down, not even the sanitizer I used to bleach my mouth from the poisonous kisses of a spouse I never loved.

    Oh there are so many of them everywhere, poison spreads across the universe in the form of lost love. Still we rise, rinse and repeat, because we can never give up. True words.

  • Poisonous kisses of a spouse I never loved. That line was so tragic. Loved your emotional poem!
