Your Rollercoaster Girl
Spoken Word Poetry
I think you were waiting for me to tell you that you were off the hook three years of your life wasted the sigh of relief at breaking the contract the oath of the long haul smashed my heart in pieces and ate the soft centre the look of surprise as though you were unaware there would be sharp edges blood dripping from your mouth onto our white pillows the ones we bought in the Zara home sale will you still remember my name five years from now and my lollipop tongue will you miss my smell my laugh and think of me sometimes like pepper spray to the eyes it will hurt like the pain I felt when you left remember the Ikea furniture flat pack all over our living room floor there is still a pink stain on the wall from the wine glass I smashed in a temper tantrum like a child I throw things and like an adult you walk away from me but difference is you don’t come back I leave the mark there for proof that I did not imagine our love that felt like forever but turned into regret what do you do when it is painful to stay and painful to go I think I will sit here and wait I think you will walk as fast as you can away from that rollercoaster girl.
You
Happiness looks pretty on us my love
All I see is you
My heart is full
Is yours too?
Can we stay like this forever my love?
Before I change my mind
Before you do
Before we find someone new.
In the End
That was how I loved you in the end
From the top of a cliff
Jumping
A leap of faith in the dark
Falling
with grasping reaching arms
Not knowing
if you were at the bottom
to catch me
Or not.
Burnt
Move on, my mother told me.
If you wait for him,
you will be an old woman.
But how long does someone wait
when they would walk through fire
to reach you?
The Artist
When you tried to mould her like clay
Did you think she would stay?
She is the epitome of beauty
and such vivid colour,
A paintbrush in one hand
and magic in another,
Like the sun
she glowed
But you were
scared of
Her lightness
Her strong spirit
Her brightness.
She runs free now, with a new love, he is loving
And she is fearless. Do you see her? Laughing, wind in her hair,
Does it bring you to your knees?
You cannot keep a waterfall from flowing
You cannot force the sun to stop shining
You cannot cover a rainbow with a black cloud
without the colours spilling out.
Do you understand now?
