Sand

I wrote your name in the sand
As the waves washed it away  
I stood there helplessly  
Holding onto a single strand  
   
Tiny pictures painted from your heart  
Like snap shots when time stood still  
Just the embellishments of broken brush  
They keep me together as I fall apart  
   
Do you ever think of me  
Do you ever wonder if I do same  
In the silence I whisper your name  
Like faded words on an old marquee  
I never had the courage to say  
The letters just got lost along the way  
   
(Instrumental)  
   
I miss the reflections in your eyes  
Like the sunlight through stain glass  
I guess all the colors left me blind  
You could always see more than I could realize  
   
All the love you gave, now only a souvenir  
The past remains a permanent scar  
The future is up to you and me  
Memories take you so far then they disappear    
   
Do you ever think of me  
Do you ever wonder if I do same  
In the silence I whisper your name  
Like faded words on an old marquee  
I never had the courage to say  
The letters just got lost along the way  
   
I think about you all the time  
I wrote your name in the sand  
As the waves washed it away...

Fucking An Incel

I met a guy once who said he couldn’t get laid
He hated women on account of his lack of fucking
He worked odd jobs
He didn’t understand what was wrong with him
Why no one would suck his dick
He said he was an incel
An “involuntary celibate”

At the time I was working on bettering myself
Becoming a better person
A good person
And my heart broke for this poor incel gentleman
Why ain’t he getting fucked?
Why indeed

I decided I wanted to help this poor lad.
If I could help even one person,
Wouldn’t that make me a good human?
Isn’t that what morality is all about?
Helping one another?

So I monitored his movements
On Saturdays he hit a bar called the Yellow Squirrel
He’d get sloshed and over tip the bartender

One Saturday I went there dressed as a woman
I spent hours on my make up and outfit
My lips were cranberry red and I wore fishnets and a leopard skin dress that was skin tight

I approached him and struck up a conversation
Talked about his favorite bands and how he wanted to be a comedian and at the first opportunity, dropped drugs in his National Bohemian beer
We chatted for an hour and a half and went back to his place

He was drunk enough to think, as he took me from behind, that my ass was a pussy
When he finished, he began to sob
I waited until he passed out, finished myself off on his belly, and left a note on the dresser signed with a lipstick mark

And with that, he no longer hated women
Or at least I imagine that’s the case
We didn’t keep in touch but sometimes all it takes is a little attention from a stranger in a bar to change your whole world view

This is what it means
To be a good person

Robby

blonde, petite, happy
all of those things
wholly me
one who ran with your hand
intertwined, together
one soul taking flight
you saw me
completely free

ocean beyond
captivating
dare I say, enchanting
heart was thumping
as the waves crashed relentlessly
on jagged rocks
over my naked body
washing it all
in a quick, little blink
and it pulled you away
while I stood in the sands
what have I done?
what am I watching?

we were a pair to be chased
we were woven together
by the hand of our Father
with the needle of love
ripping the stitches was easy
until you saw me
tangled in seaweed
left with silence
and an unconvincing story
malformed, but me

i wondered after
the noise had settled
and the gulls flew elsewhere
if my heart could pull you back to shore
even with clothes on
it wouldn’t matter
it can’t get any colder
it can’t get any calmer
unclothed and lost
still... me

it wasn’t a dream
it was the present reality
and I let it slide through my pride and ignorance
what we had
a spark
one never to be found again
stomped and coated in grains of our own depravity
i’m sorry
why did you let me?

i like the ocean
not because it robbed me of you
but because it told me
that love is very temporary
unlike the sting
listen to the water
robby, hear it sing
my silhouette still standing
echoing

that isn’t me
