Love’s Sacrifice – part 5

On August 19, 2016August 19, 2016 By HeidiIn Creative Writing, Flash Fiction, Poetry5 Comments

You beg me?
You who betray me,
defy me
at every turn?
Your promises
mean nothing.
You already belong to me
and now so does
she.
You have only yourself
to blame.
What happens next
is your doing.
She will embrace the darkness
or she will be lost.
There is no other recourse,
there is nothing you can say
or do
to change my mind.
I will not be ignored by you
any longer.
Your punishment will be
to live with your guilt,
with her hatred,
for the rest of
eternity.

This is something that came to me yesterday while driving. I was listening to Phil Collin’s In The Air Tonight. I let it simmer overnight and began writing this morning with that song playing in the background. The poem seems to have taken on a life of its own. We will see where it takes us. Together.

Love’s Sacrifice – part 4

NO!
You have taken everything from me.
My freedom,
my will,
my soul.
I beg of you,
do not take my sanity,
my heart.
Do not tarnish that which is so
pure.
I will give you whatever you wish,
obey your every command
if only you release her.
Please,
My Lady,
do not do this.

Love’s Sacrifice – part 3

Why do you haunt me so?
I banish you from my waking thoughts
only to dream of you in restless sleep.
Your cold blue eyes
see deep into my mind,
my soul.
Your touch sears me
leaving me craving more.
I no longer fear you
and that terrifies me.
The shadow deepens,
we are not alone.
There is another,
a presence with in.
Full of malice,
ill intent.
Who is it?
What does it want from me?
Where have you gone?
Save me
before I am
lost.

Stunning Eyes and Face

Desktop Nexus: Stunning Eyes and Face

You think you know me,
what I am,
what I can do.
Do not judge me
by my actions.
You do not know my story,
who owns my soul.
I am a puppet
with an unforgiving master
who know my weakness.
Who knows about
You.
I frighten you?
Good.
Your fear will keep you safe,
protected
from creatures made of darkness.
From me.

You don’t think I see you
lurking in the shadows,
watching,
waiting.
I remember what you did.
Remember with vivid clarity
every
agonizing
detail.
Your cold eyes
haunt my dreams,
my waking hours.
Go back to the shadows
where creatures of darkness
dwell.
Go back
and haunt me no more.

Surface

Do not judge what you cannot see
What lies at the surface
is only the beginning
It’s what lies underneath
that counts
It’s what lies underneath
that is joyful
angry
in pain
Do not judge what you cannot see
unless you want to be judge
so callously

I am not Afraid

On January 17, 2016 By HeidiIn Poetry, Uncategorized7 Comments

I know what you are.
You can’t hide from me anymore.
I know what you are
and I am not afraid.

You should be
for I am your salvation,
and damnation.
I am your life
and your death.

I still do not fear you.

I will destroy you without remorse.
I will relish your pain
as I send you into Hell.

No you will not.

Run, run
run while you can,
before it’s too late,
because once I sink my teeth
into your sweet
tantalizing
skin,
you will forever be
mine.

I am already a part of your soul.
You know this.
You will not hurt me.
You can’t.
I am not afraid!

I am.

My Minds Chaos

On June 23, 2015 By HeidiIn Poetry1 Comment

I see roses,
I see pants,
I see so many things
running through my head.
When will it stop?
When will it end?
When will I find
peace again?
Inner dialogue,
ranting, raving,
never a moments peace
never the light at the end.
Pushing, prodding
begging to be let loose,
but what will people think?
What will they say?
When they hear my thoughts
in complete disarray.
I don’t know how.
I don’t know when.
These thoughts of mine
will end,
or begin.
I should focus,
try to stay sane,
for there are words
that should never be said.
I try and try
with all my might
to end this reign
of terror that is my plight.
For those who understand
these words I share,
I wish you well
your soul respite.

Denial

No.

You’re wrong.

He’s not gone.

He would not leave me,

not like this.

There has to be some mistake!

Silence

It’s there, in their eyes.

Sadness,

pain,

fear.

It can’t be true.

I look at the clock and smile.

He will be home soon.

Then they will see that they are wrong.

Yes,

anytime now the door will open and he will walk through,

smiling that smile that melts my heart.

We will laugh at the joke.

You’ll see.

Anytime now….

Any…

time….

Not Alone

On December 18, 2013December 31, 2013 By HeidiIn Poetry5 Comments

When the hits keep coming

How do I keep upright

When all I want is to lay down?

How do I win

When all is against me?

How do I learn to love

When my heart is shattered?

My faith is hanging by a thread,

Fingers bloody and torn.

It would be easy to let go,

Fall into darkness

Let despair swallow me whole.

Light extinguished for all time.

Remember you are not alone.

There are those who have suffered

Felt the despair

The grief

The loneliness.

Learn what time has taught them.

Learn life goes on

Though it feels like the end.

Learn that when faith seems shattered

It is only around the bend,

Waiting for you to reclaim.

And most of all

Remember

You are not alone

To See What I See
