I Cry As You Lie

written by: Jessica Moore

I cry,
As you lie,
With all your broken promises.
I die,
As all my
Dreams soon fade away.
Promises, dreams,
Always seem,
Like forever they will last.
You came,
Wasn’t the same,
But you broke me into.
My heart,
Torn apart,
As love turned to ice.
My life,
The strife
Was meaningless in your hands.
My love you took,
My heart you shook,
Oh love eluded me again.
I’ll awake,
I’ll make,
No more attempts to love.

I am 43 and have been married once for ten years. I do not regret this but it’s been hard to find a new love to stay.

Shadows of New York by Francisco Bravo Cabrera

One day I sat and listened to the choirs of Babel.
It took me back to when I painted shadows in New York
which cast skyscrapers high above your garden.
And I wondered if an island, in the seas of nowhere,
would have served as shelter if our ship should sink.

Did a siren with her song lead you so far away from home,
and has that made you forget me?
Have you removed the old tattoos?
Did you forget the sailing trips?
Was it because Manhattan’s winds destroyed your jib?...
