The Other Half...

I stand on one foot; the pain is driving me crazy,

With my hands clasps together begging for mercy.

I looked up at him with fear in my eyes,

For only the secret walls can hear my cries.

The man above me slapped me with full rage,

I wanted to run, but I was trapped in this cage.

I was puzzled and needed an explanation,

But little did I know it was I to give a full clarification.

He said, “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself to do this to me?”

And I replied, “what did I do to deserve this treatment so badly?’

Before a second could pass, I got a hard kick in my chest,

I was out of breath for it was close to my left breast.

I know I am dying very slowly,

And what’s responsible is my confused thoughts and misery.

I just couldn’t think for he banged my head against the wall,

My head was aching and I started to scream and bawl.

And then he said, “You cheated on me and then claim to be my wife?”

“You hurt me too much so I had to take your life”.

I was in a state of shock in my last stage,

All this was a huge misinterpretation in a puzzled maze.

I am not who he thought I was and he would never find out,

Confusing as it sounds, everything is not what it seems, there is always a doubt.

I took my last breath, knowing he did and evil, unforgettable sin,

For the lady he thought I was, was my other half, my sister, my twin!

My Sis & I

One Out Of Ten L

I feel the tension in my nerves,
While sitting here uneasy, yes i am one of those,
My heart beats wildly against my chest.
For i am ashamed of myself for not being the best.

My silence is getting the better of me,
I feel like bursting out into tears for my dishonesty.
With so much materials for me to use,
How do i start, which one to choose.

I feel like time is playing with my head,
A second feels like a minute and i feel like i am in hell.
I watched it in front of me and i turned blank,
As of now i got weak, my heart immediately sank.

I give up! my enemy glimpsed me and grin,
How could i prove myself right when my chances are slim.
Well my time is up, my life is gone,
Well so i thought but that was very wrong.

So what, it's not like if i died,
I under-estimated it but at least i tried.
Ok no, i didn't try but is not like if the world is gonna end,
It's just another math exam i failed; it's like getting one out of ten!

The Letter To Mom

Mom,

You told me not to go,

But I insist so I wore that short dress with the pretty little bow.

You told me to change my outfit,

But I kept stern for I always loved velvet.

When my ride was here, you begged me once more,

To stay back, but I know I was going, I was serious and sure.

You watched me got a lift with my friend Brunt,

You said sit behind but I hesitate and rushed to the front.

When we reached there I felt so happy and relieved,

The atmosphere was vibrant, so many people I couldn’t believe.

Mom you told me when I reached there to behave,

But how could I resist the party atmosphere surrounding sea waves.

You knew alcohol was my best friend then,

So you warned me to limit myself, 3 is fine not 7, 8, 9 or ten.

But it was my friend’s birthday and I felt so bad,

So I drank, and while having fun you called, realized and became mad.

I was feeling so free-spirited and it was time to go,

I wanted to stay back but if I asked I knew you would have said no.

So there we was coming back home in the same ride,

But something was wrong; I didn’t realize that all of us were high.

The car was going so fast and my head was spinning,

Little did I know the brakes had failed causing a brutal crashing.

Our car had hit another and I flew on the ground,

My breath was falling short; I was seeing blood all around.

And now am here writing to you to forgive me, my eyes heavy as I sob,

Mom I am sealing it with a special kiss and signing it with your child’s name,

Susana, yours truly from heaven above.

Victim

As the man entered the room, 
She raced to a corner, like a flower that lost its bloom.
She seemed dead sure that something was wrong, 
Who should she tell, whom should she warn.
For its not only him she had a problem with, 
Any man she saw she was scared out of her wits.

She scratched her head and picked her nose, 
Everyday it’s the same with her tattered old clothes.
Her eyes are blood shot red, 
“Leave me alone” was all she said.
With perspiration dripping from her face, 
It’s so uncontrollable; it’s like a thick water race.

The man drew closer to her with ease, 
No smile on his face for he wasn’t pleased.
He thought by now she would have changed her ways, 
The one she gave him ever since she’s here.
It’s a tear-filled mysterious frightened stare, 

No one will understand her feelings, 
It’s deep and for the past years she has been yearning.
For someone who can help her get justice from this mess, 
Not just the doctor in front her but anyone who have experienced her distress.

She knew she was never like this before; 
These four walls have driven her insanely secure.
Here, she’s just a sexually assaulted woman just like the other, 
The whole thing is just sick; she’s a victim from her own blood, her love, her father.

Murder

I enter the house this time different,

The air was strange, I felt a 'deadly serpent'.

Something was wrong, I wonder why,

How would I know, cause am not a fly.

For those creatures would know the sudden change,

Living in a house like forever within their own range.

Its like I knew where to go,

Cause my feet led me to the basement below.

But then what I saw left me to believe,

That someone planted an evil bloody seed.

To my utmost horror I saw a familiar man,

Lying dead on the ground with a half heart pendant in his hand

Then it strucked me hard as a blow,

The man lying in my house was my beloved husband, 'Jack Row'.

I broke into tears, and fell to the ground,

With a chill up my spine seeing the blood that was surround.

When suddenly I heard thunder footsteps,

The cops are here to clean up this mess.

Not only this mess for its a serious matter,

They have to find the culprit for I will shatter.

Someone needs to take blame for this crime,

For it is easy, just figure out the riddle rhyme.

How could my husband leave me and go?

Is it fair for a married woman to run the show?

But I guess this pain; I would have to live with,

Cause this world is just here and soon we would all be myths.

Now I took off the thing in my eye and took a wink,

Yep everything is normal and I could blink,

It took you long to figure it out that my tears were in vain.

But I had to do it, it’s such a shame,

I let out a real cry one last time.

And got to my purse searching for what’s mine.

Yes I got it, the other half of the pendant engraved in gold,

Not forgetting the killer's knife, bloody and bold,

I gave one wicked laugh and an evil smile,

After this incident, I'll be going far, more than a mile.

I said a prayer and a 'bye' to his life,

For none of this would've happen if he didn't cheated on his wife!

Deadly Lies

Something’s wrong, dead wrong,

I can feel it in this car by the different song.

It’s not normal, something’s weird,

“Let’s talk” was all he said.

Together for 2 years, now in his car,

First time he’s speeding and going far.

I watched him go fast and loved him more,

Too good to be true, but now it’s sore.

For the love of my life had something to tell me,

And I was getting so impatient and a little uneasy.

What’s up with him and his upsetting face?

Questions were running through my mind like a race.

The silence was getting unbearable now, so I started to shout,

“Come on baby, let’s sort it out”

With one hand on the steering wheel, the other in my hand,

He spoke softly and said, “I have a disease that I cannot stand”

My eyes filled with tears for I felt sorry for him,

“Don’t worry baby, I am here for you Tim”

These words alone made him weak,

As he said, “where should we go, whom should we seek?”

I was a bit confused as he said that line,

For now I knew that there was two side of the ‘dime’.

Then I asked, “What do you mean Tim?

Fidgeting he said, “It’s between you and I Kim”

He is not getting to the point and it’s getting me mad,

But his emotions are totally different, he seems so sad.

“I had something to tell you for days”

He broke into tears saying, “Baby we have AIDS!”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

I was so shocked, knowing that he mashed gas,

My life is like a race and is going so fast.

Wait, I have a disease with no sort of cure,

I turned blank and all I could have said was “Are you sure?”

I broke into tears as he gave me a nod,

He had it all this time, well isn’t this odd.

He definitely cheated on me and this is what I get,

A broken heart and a stain I wouldn’t forget.

Out of my mind, I took my heels and hit his head,

And immediate blood started to shed.

I was crying so much, I felt so drain

But it’s not the end, and I wasn’t sane.

After a moment, we came out the car,

We were at a dead end and a cliff was not very far.

I don’t think I can live in this world anymore,

I am leaving all my dreams and closing all my reality doors.

I don’t care what society would say or how things would shift,

I wanted to be free, so I jumped off the cliff.

Yes, the feeling is so good that I left him there,

He would suffer for what he did cause I don’t’ care.

I feel like I am flying, it feels so nice to die.

Coming to my sense, I realize life is just pain and full of DEADLY LIES!
