Indigo,

I become confused as I read the words you have sent to me. You say that me going back to her hurts you, why? Why does it bother you that I have gone back to her? You have told me repeatedly that you love him and you want to make it work with him. I have given you that space and moved on, so now you are hurt and mad. You have no right!

Indigo, where do you want to be and what do you want to do? You can’t run from feelings because you are afraid you will be hurt. She has forgiven me and for me to go back and tell her I’m leaving again would be heartbreaking. I need you to think about what you are saying because the back and forth will hurt too many people.

I will be here when you make your decision.

Bodega Gone

I flirt with

death all the

while dancing

around what

I know I want.

I look for you,

but you are

not where

you should be. I silently reach

for you,

but your hand

does not reach

for mine.

The tears

burn my

skin as they

fall hard

to the floor.

I breathe realizing the agony is

slowly eating

away at what

little faith

I have left.

I bow down

acknowledging how love

has betrayed me and defeat has

won once again.

LI

Burned

A walking

abomination

I am

as my sins

seem to

follow me.

This walking

infection that

can’t be cured,

burns the good

that is

buried deep.

I dig

deep within

to remove the

corruption the

sins have

done to my

soul.

I cry out

for forgiveness,

but silence

seems to follow

my pleas.

He will not

forgive me and

for that I am

forever condemned. I see the

hell I have

become and

I feel the hell

that has become my life.

I have sinned

and the scent

is on my skin. I have consumed his spirit and

for that

we will

burn together.

LII

Perfect Obedience

I am

not her

and she

is not me.

No matter

how hard

I worked,

I could not

be who

you wanted

me to be.

Constantly

competing

with myself

so you

would realize

love is

not with

her, but here

with me.

Aggravated

and tormented

because

I was trying

to live up to

your dreams.

Long hair,

short hair,

petite or thick,

repeatedly mistreating my body,

not realizing

I was sick.

Abusing

myself so that

I could

be your

perfect woman,

only to

finish feeling like one of your whores.

LIII
