Kindling
what if the one
you thought was on your side
is actually the one
pouring gasoline on the fire
keeping you safe
for their own entertainment
but just until the moment
they run out of kindling
and then, just like that
toss your broken heart
onto the flames
without a second glance
-b.e.
the snake
beware the snake who claims
you’re a friend
with its smooth words
and promises of loyalty
carefully tucking away words
slipping notes
saving secrets
to throw against you
when it needs to escape
for it’s own pride
luring you with friendship
lancing you to save it’s skin
leaving you to clean up the mess
-b.e.
Missing
a woman is missing
lost in a world created by anxiety and driven by depression
can she break the cycle of anger
is it too late
has she caused damage
irreversible by change
will she ever find herself
internalize her strength
rescue it from her own mind
Shattered
Hurt before she’d been
A plate shattered on the floor
And then suddenly
Someone came to pick her up
Without even knowing it
They glued her back together
Piece by piece
Car Lunches
Sitting in my car
Publix sandwich on my lap
Snow Patrol on the stereo
Or the Fray
They always spoke to me in those moments
Those moments were I was a girl of unrequited love
Hoping one day you would find me
-b.e.
