Crooked Lines, a lot of poems put together on a thread I know not the end of. I will post as the spirit leads.

Crooked Lines are poems woven out of stories and experiences of heart break, depression, love, lust, desire, anger, hatred, friendships and self discovery.

Do not forget to like, share and drop your opinions... all will be very much appreciated. Forgive me concerning the short lengths, i am not using an andriod but a java phone so i am hereby limited to a small number of characters.

Follow me on twitter @IamBettyUdo and dm anything you want to talk about. Much Love Y'all..

You are yet to discover yourself and the sugary taste of love.
That is if there is such a thing as love.

You went into the woods,
I hope the branches did not burn.
I heard there is no joy,

Only bears that tear you apart
with depression coated fangs.

The grass was happiness and happy picnics.

But you are allergic and so, you may never know
Happiness.

You should have left
When you perceived the smoke.

You let it go far into your lungs,
Counting his nicotine stained teeth
With your tongue.

He kept you in his laps
As you wished.
Tossed vodka on your breasts
And made love to you
With his fist to your face and
powder on his nose.

He carried you up the stairs,
Sorry hanging off the corner of his lips.

Your heart danced as
He promised to love you
But at sunrise when you opened your eyes
He was gone.

This is you now,
Sad, broke and holding on to the last of him.

A few words on a paper and a baby.

The music of a
Perfect life excites you.
The Sea and the Wind
are you best friends.
They dance with you.

The sand tickles your feet as your lover
sings to you, your
beautiful insecurities.

You are comfortable with the
false truth of romance.

Your heart aches anyway for the loving
lips of reality to kiss you awake.

INSPIRED BY DANNIE

I love it when I'm heartbroken.
I love it when the pain washes over me.
I embrace depression when it comes,
Like that good friend I
Haven't seen in a while.

She treats me better than all my past lovers.
She holds me tight and fights when its
Time to leave.
She lays beside me when the night gets lonely.

She kisses me and reminds me of how
Nobody can love me like she does.
Serves white pills for dinner and a
Glass of whiskey for breakfast.

If our friendship was a story book,
I would burn it and scatter the ashes.
I would burn
every moment with my rage.
Lie my way to the end,
till you're finally gone.

Your lips caress my neck,
Breathing in the fear
that lodges in my throat.
I have waited so long
for that true touch that
Burns my skin in the depth of desires.

Kiss my breasts and
Love my flaws.
Dance to my song,
Sing the soft lyrics of
pleasure to me.
Move in rythm with
my desperation and
Let our 'cheapness' tip us over
With our consent.

Do not love me like
You would with your past lovers.
Love me with your soul,
Lace your lust with kindness.

Play me like you would with your strings.
With passion and love.
