#vss365 It will be fine, she won’t find out. It’s just some fun, won’t rock the boat. It sure would be #catastrophe if she knew— but you will see, she won’t find out. Why would she know? The narcissist in me said no: “She won’t find out, it will be fine. Go have your fun— just one more time.”

#emoetry #poetry I am a lost child #hankering after the safety of home. Like a curly puppy ripped from her siblings, her birthplace, her world. Like a scared tortoise retreating into her shell— I fold inward, small against the silence, alone.

#vss365 #poetry #poem My sadness is profound,
 an ache too deep to name.
 Sophisticated hounds
 conspire to feast on shame. They tear the soul from flesh,
 revel in the fall—
 the stench of lust and death
 masked well with tea and gall.

#emoetry #poetry I #abhorred my fellow women not, Worked arm in arm with trust and care; The sisterhood was all around— Until I found the false ones there. Their true endeavour hidden lay Behind bright smiles of treachery; They break, they steal, they bring decay, Compelled by envy’s tyranny.

#vss365 #prompt #poetry I was a person once, Brain filled with useful things, A heart that brimmed with love, A soul that bore life’s stings. Now all I think is sparks, And all I feel is pain, This old soul: trampled, beaten, dead. #Exhausted with the shame.

#vss365 #poetry Church employee, She— Angelic smile? Devil’s glee. “Hey, everybody, look at me! Directing your music, there I’ll be. Professional boundaries? Hehehe! Abuse of #power? Now you see? Ah yes, that’s my decree: So, wives, clutch weak husbands and flee, Lest I claim your man for me!”

#Emoetry I guess she felt #validated When you joined her in hatred For the boss she’d insist Was “taking the piss.” I guess you felt validated When she exaggerated The strife you must face In ‘anxiety’s‘ embrace. Socially risky, Yet it made you both frisky— Validation the key To false intimacy.

#emoetry #poetry #poem #prompt I had an #uneasy feeling,
 an intuition that I didn’t like.
 It felt like that woman was stealing
 my husband away—in plain sight. I buried my uneasy feeling—
 she surely wasn’t the type.
 So imagine my shock, all my reeling,
 when I found my suspicion was right!

#emoetry #prompt #poem #poetry I thought the wilderness 
Was far behind.
 The beast #tamed,
 The outlook kind. But the wily coyote
 Was circling around,
 Clawing for pity,
 Whining for ground. So hard done by,
 So forlorn—
 You had to ‘save’
 The Devil’s spawn.

I wish we could return to the past, to that soft place where laughter lived, where silence was never heavy but shared, and trust felt as natural as breathing. Now every word between us is edged with absence, and I keep reaching for the friend you once were. #vss365 #poetry #past

#vss365 #prompt #past #poem #poetry What’s past is past, Or so they say; But this past haunts me— Now, today. With images, cruel, Brought to my bed, Ghosts of the past Are invading my head. They sing on the radio, Hide in my church, Laugh in the movies, And drive me berserk!
