I Must Live


Every heart like me
Treated like a charity case.
Born from a conflictual place.
The unsatisfactory resolution.
We were abandoned,
I don’t know your face!
We were left motherless,
without a home, and all alone.

Don’t you dare think…
Coz we were never your salvation.
A child is incapable of being the solution
To your infertilities or your infidelities.

We were forced into your adaptations.
Remaining in a space of alienation.
We were forced into your adoptions.
We were useful to your selfish use.
We were useful to your selfish abuse.
For at least eighteen years our hearts bled

For at least eighteen years we were onfire
For our own truths
For our own histories
For our own identities
For Others with blood that are like ours.
You’ve only made our lives so sour.

What was my name.
Life can never be the same.
Thank you for what you gave me.
No thank you for all you did to me.

I am on my own way.
My memories aren’t yours.
My experiences so very different.
Best to let me go.

You’ve got nothing left to show.
You’ve got nothing more to give.
This is my life that I must live.

Is There Nothing More?

Dinner is on the wall Children crying, infant screaming Fear freezes her when he calls Between them there is silence peeling Its the way they only know Its how love they struggle to show He knows nothing more She can’t bear the blood and sores She understands she must flea But how else can she Be? _______________ Copyright © 2020 HeardWords America

His Love for Her

Don't leave me here!  Don't you leave me here this way!  What will all my friends say? Who was it that carried me on the bier? Well, will you pray for me? Or can't you wait to see another man, if only you can?  Life with you was never,  the kind I wanted.  You called me "friend" That was after you put an end to our coupling. That was after you had my ring  cut off your finger. I can hear you singing after that. You had your own definition for being a swinger. A woman, free and unattached. Since then we've never been intimate. No matter the many times I had to wait. You would love me  Only by cleaning and laundrying for me. Still you'd never give me a bath. We had a life together you never let last. Don't leave me here!  Don't you leave me here this way!  What will all my friends say?     "She buried him, with his love for her.      She's not so demur."  _________ copyright ©️ 2023 SDKilmer, LLC All Rights Reserved www SDKi

Colours of My Life

Once my life was as bright as the golden sun. During those days, I thought you and I were one. You made me very blue when you told me to leave you. Eventually I became use to it. Until years later, I thought I might have a chance. We became good friends, again. Better than before. I just couldn't leap over your new boundaries that kept us as only friends, nothing more. You possessed a strange manner In relation to your "ex's". Remaining friends with them with whom you arrived at an end? What man can have a former lover as a friend? Suddenly they were wandering around. Fixing things or seeking to be fixed! How does an "ex" trust another "ex"? What man can have a former lover as a friend? That night I must have glowed as light green was my apprehension, fear and terror to loss of you whom apparently were not mine to possess. Turning deep green, my jealousy &  envy; that ran blood red in my annoyance unto rage. Days gone past when Deep
