What you Really Are
Heather's Blog

I know,

What you did.

Tormentor raging underneath,

Your duplicitous hero shell.

Saved her just to own her fears,

Went deep to pull it out,

Only to gift blows and glare,

She coughs black, you cackle.

Laughter, as she cringes.


I see you.

Your demonic deviltry as she,

Not the same she...

Dies, or is dying.

You lie in wait to collect and she...

Lies not remembering,

Who you really are.


I remember.

You told her,

Shh, you said.

Not the same her,

Or, the same she.

Fingers spread like spider legs,

Creeping where they should never go.

Tell not a soul, but...


I told you,

You'd abandon her.

Not the same her,

Or, the same she,

Or, the one before.

Tears for a father she'd never know.

Fissures and savage cracks of pain,

Watching it fester and spill over.


I watched you,

As you destroyed them,

The same shes and hers of our family.

One knows, one sees,

While one loathes to remember,

And the other told you,

That you decay the soul,

You overflow the eyes,

You decimate and lay a pile in ruin.


I know you've hurt.

I saw you take.

I remember you defiled.

I told you, you'd leave.

I watched you ruin.

And, I command you...STOP!


Because I know what you really are...

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
