Last we spoke

I thought it would be interesting to do something a little different for a competition.

So here it is write about a conversation you had with someone.. someone you didnt see again for a really long time.. or just didnt see again.
What was said or how you felt about it.. if you could talk to them again would you say more?

I leave the interpretation of this up to you.

So long!
........  
 

You too?    
i asked    
   
Yes.    
She said    
   
Heart-fucked, I didn't want to hear any more    
but I had to know    
   
What did he do?    
   
She explained as we walked    
Avoided my eyes    
kicked stones    
   
Her sentences were strained    
   
I felt every word    
Tasted the vomit at the back of my throat    
   
Silence  
 
I have to go home now.    
See you tomorrow?    
I asked    
   
Yes.  
She said  
But I knew I wouldn't

Up in smoke


So… I got your message, he said

I knew you would eventually
(I could really use a cigarette right now)

Look… I do love you, but not the way you want me to

(well that makes sense)
How do you think I want you to?
(shit)

To be in love with you…

(smile) I don’t need you to be in love with me
this is good enough

As friends?

(Are you sure?)
Yeah as friends

(There’s a silence and that look in his eyes that I don’t want to see)
This isn’t going to get crazy again is it?

(Shit, he’s remembering what I’m remembering)
No (smile) it’s not going to get crazy again.
(I hope I’m not lying)
you don’t owe me anything
it’s good enough that you’re in my life

So (smile)… are you excited for Halloween

Always…

(Silence, and a sad smile sits loudly on his lips)
Look, I gotta go, but well talk soon, yeah?

(I smile and think, no, we won’t)
Yeah, for sure
(where’s that cigarette)

something else


what do men want?
you say i don't know
but i know
what men want
you ask what then
men want something else
other than what?
other than what they have
of course

you admit for some men
that's true
why waste what you have
worrying about what
you don't have and
what will you want
once you've lasso'd me
something else---or what?

Three little words

Three little words are left unsaid
But are said too much
You tell me I'm beautiful
You tell me I'm smart
You tell me I'm funny
You tell me you love my laugh
You say we will never split
You say you'll be with me through sickness and pain
All these words
So many
They're nice and make me feel special
But there are three little words I would love to hear
Three little words
I
Love
You

"The Glare"

Christ darling, we
were in mid-sentence,
neither one of us was
listening, a major fight,
I did not see the red light.
It was in the heat of the moment,
with my raised voice you looked fearful.
I wish I could tell you I want us to work this out,
I truly love you sugar, with all of my aching bruised heart.
The glare in the window is killing me, but your hair looks great.
Now in my coma state, all I can do is give you the thousand yard stare.
Please don't go honey, I know you still care, otherwise you wouldn't have come.

CALLING HOME
-----------------------------------------------

Your voice, so thin, almost like air
Through the receiver
I listen, long
Paused silences
Say more than words
You tell me of your wounded worlds
I cant be there
Even god doesnt know how much I hurts
There is a subtle twist
In the conversation
Do you know I exist?
When you tell me of your revelation
How I hardened myself beyond safe isolated ignorance
No....No...dont hang up, please stay
Your words are all
I have, dont end this call
The lines dead
Words lie fractured on the floor
Bye now, Speak to you
No
More

Meeting…an instantaneous meeting of chance
Here again comes that Mr. Jack Fancy Pants
Oh my, is there to be no relief?
Good grief it’s you, The Thief!

Strange. Hand gesturing a symmetrical wave
Again I’m seeing you
Just when I thought I was free
You again calling me out to see
Over the borderline sickening
But this time I’m not weakening  

You with your “ahoy mate…come get with the Pirate.”

The sex, why didn’t you hire it?
Long John “Come Hither”
No, this time I won’t wither.
You’re belief that… you’re so fine.
Waving me over(bored) to see you one more time
No, Jack, you’re just a thief.
And I know you’re still shoring up bait
With you, it’s never too late. Just a con

Working game with so much precision
It’d be only in your favor for us to chitchat
But no Jack; I can’t get with that
I know you’re slithering over wishing we could
Yet, we already know that you up to no good
You and your kind of boys
Your all like clouds with so much fluff
Me? I’m unable to float, to drift into your stuff
Your bullshit, the fecal don’t matter

It’s indisputable,
You & your latest attempt at smooth sailing
No…I think I need to be bailing
So go ahead Jack. You know I could go at length how you deserve a smack
But not today; so heavy; you & your gravity
Your unwanted weight all up on me
A continuing saga of bad lust
Seems a story that’s now so reversible
Perhaps it’s those feelings of being towed under

Jack you’re just a smash & grab faker
The kind specializing in hearts
Stole mine and most of my smarts
I was so vulnerable
The initial flash; damn, it was so shocking
The lightning bolts; all of ‘em had me biting
Had me going off, igniting.
All true, now I’m ready to ex-sight you
The sickening circumstance that came into play
But see Jack; not today…Sorry
I just can’t cum your way!

Are you there,
Yes,
Is been a while since I don’t talk to you,
I know, you left me it was not fair,
Do you remember me?
Of course I do,
Fuck you,
Why?
Is been over 2 years since
We don’t  talk,
I thought you were dead, gone
Sorry Suchard, is always tracking my moves,
I went to LA, I wanted to talk to you,
When was that?
It does not matter, im not there now,
I wish I could be, I still think of you,
I do too,
Why so distant?
Suchard does not let you even breath?
I so sorry Ray, I love you, still,
But this guy, got me,
You could not even wait for me?
I only asked you for two year,
This guy comes alone and take you
Over the hill.
And right now, I don’t even know
If is You or Suchard online,
But I don’t care, he still monitoring you?
I don’t think he is doing that anymore.
You know how much I just to love you,
I was going to give up, my youngness for you,
And all you were worry, was about you age,
While I was seeing you as a my love,
I was so close to you, I know you live in palms pring now,
I was at Riverside, then  went to Temecula,
Just a kiss from you, or a hug would have made
My trip wonderful,
Sorry Ray, you tentative, you still have a sexy body?
Steal me! I’m going to LA, this coming Thursday,
On my birthday, and thanksgiving, take me to you,
I will hide in a motel I don’t care, see me when you
Can while I’m there, take a way from me this
Sensation I have, of being with you, so want to
Touch you, kiss you, and melt on top of you,
Are you there, babe?........

SENA

we sat there after practice
talking about our gig
he got up and got a bottle
of vodka from the fridge

half of it was gone
and feelings started to show
he hated the life he lived
and said it was his turn to go

i tried to convince him to stay
but how could i when i felt the same
he gave me a hug and home he went
to play the rope and razor game

i sat there not knowing what to do
dumbstruck at the numbness of his voice
what had happened to my friend
to lead him to this choice..

Spent everyday together
Laughed everyday together
Spoke everyday together
Two became one in a summer month
Never once were the words "I love you uttered"
Identical thoughts from both minds unheard
Friends? Lovers? I don't know you tell me
"Hey I just wanted to tell you that I..."
"You what?"
"Nothing, never-mind..."
Well turns out I did mind and never knew the end of that sentence
Hearts are often broken by words left unspoken.

Last we spoke
was of simple things.
It's way too late now
for anything more.

Last we spoke
was more than uncomfortable.
Though you laughed and talked,
you inched toward the door.

Last we spoke
I wanted to tell you
but you wouldn't feel the same
so a smile I wore.

"god just wants you to let him in",                im sorry baby but im enjoying the sin,           "please hear him out he loves you so much", this is the last night we'll ever stay in touch,   "dont leave me sugar dont walk out that door",                 with all that fucking preaching i cant take it anymore,                "jesus told me last nite that we can make it work"                   im sorry but im leaving youve become a jerk.

I threw you out
Tears and all

You said those 3 words
I said nothing

You never returned
I called and you would not pick up

I wish I woulda said something

Now its too late
So cold
And now you're gone
