The Inevitable Is Unavoidable
You are venomous.
Lies drip from your mouth,
streaming down your chin like the juices from between your lovers legs from which youve just returned.
You are sweetness.
I wear your sugar coated compliments like a shield,only exposed when it rains.
You are masked,
hiding from me,hiding from the world.
Changing faces when it suits and selling smiles.
You are unreserved,
openly telling secrets,spreading thin,garrulous in all manners.
You are freedom,
crossing boundaries and inciting rebellion of love.
You are regret.
Mistakes made...

Ashes
Under my skin.
You lit a fire in my soul.
That fire is consuming me.
Able to see, you go on damaging.
You are sadistic,truly.
This fire burning everyone and everything in its path.
You must laugh at how easy it was to fool me.
It will not be put out.
Uncontrollable, I want it to stop burning.
Too consumed to cry,to shout.
I am not blameless,
I let you in,
naming other fires flame less.
This fire is burning me down.
Ashes will be all that is left of me.
What then of the fire that I found?

Tainted Muse (pt.2)
Out of reach,
I cannot feel you.
I want to see you.
Is it so easily left undone?
I want to know the smell of your t-shirt,
but I am thrown away before it has begun.
I want know the fit of my hand in yours,
yet you tell me this can never be more.
I am forgotten.
I want to know the taste of your lips,
I am denied even a single kiss.
I am dismissed by you,
left a lifeless,tainted muse.
I want to know the feel of your skin,
I am discarded before it begins.
I want to know how you feel inside me,
untouched and empty...
I cannot feel you.
I want to see you.
Is it so easily left undone?
I want to know the smell of your t-shirt,
but I am thrown away before it has begun.
I want know the fit of my hand in yours,

Tainted Muse (pt.1)
I want to hate her.
I want to hate you.
I have become a tainted muse.
If shes what is taking you from me,I wish that you knew.
I cant hate her,as much as I try.
As much as I cry,
I just love her.
I just love you.
I want to to hate her.
If she captures you so much,
If what you crave is her touch,
then I love her.
I love what makes you smile.
If you love her so much,then indeed there must be something.
Something inside her that I would also love.
I want to hate her.
I love what makes you laugh.
If she is so...
I want to hate you.
I have become a tainted muse.
If shes what is taking you from me,I wish that you knew.
I cant hate her,as much as I try.

Embers
Crossroads are upon us.
Here I am waiting,longing,waiting it out.
Pray tell whats to become of me?
This temporary insansity.
I need to know,
Does this fire need more kindling?
Do I stomp it out?
My heartbeat is loud.
Gingerly picking up scraps and bits to relight the fire,
Waiting on your answer.
Shhh now,
Im listening.
Tell me its not the silence youre sending me.
Please tell me what its going to be.
If Im a fool,then tell me.
Im holding on to the embers,
waiting to know..

"No room in my life for boundaries and misinterpretations"
Im not angry..just putting back up dem boundaries"
No more boundaries.
No more misinterpretations.
Just dive in.
What if I dive in?
What would we do?
Just me,
Just you,
stripped down and bare,just like its been.
How do I do this?
Should I go through with it?
Will you be waiting?
Have you given up on me?
I wish I could see what youre thinking.
I wish you would tell me,
tell me what to do.
No more boundaries to hide behind,
No more false misinterpretations.
Just me and just you.
Talking...
No more boundaries.
No more misinterpretations.
Just dive in.
What if I dive in?
What would we do?

Losing it
I dont know what Im doing.
I dont know how to navigate these choices.
I feel like imploding.
I cant live without knowing.
I must have been so very wrong,
to miss you this much.
I cant wait this long.
But I was right about this crippling effect you have on me,
Why cant I just let it be?
Looking at your pictures,
listening to music that brings you to the front of my mind.
Anything to feel connected while I wait for this to die.
I dont know how to navigate these choices.

Tell me something
Tell me something.."
"Anything?"
"Yes."
I feel my head is going to explode.
This absence is driving me crazy.
This lack of action is killing me.
Inside Im screaming.
Say something.
Say anything.
No,not anything.
Say youre still here.
Say youre listening.
I cant get out of my own head.
Is it sad to say I need you right now?
Show me a sign if youre still there.
If you want me to leave you be,dont say a word.
If you're listening,
Say anything.
Please,say anything.
"Anything?"
"Yes."

I see smoke..
Just like that my fires gone.
Put out with no heat to live on.
Who lead who?
I swear it was you.
Another time,another place.
Any chance to see your face.
But youve killed it!
You let it die
How was I supposed to lie?
Who now if not you?
What am I supposed to do?
When only you can read my head,
By only you my fires fed.
But by you my fires dead.
I dont know how Im to feel,
I thought this fire smelled much too real.
Irrefutable it may be,
just as you are to me...

I smell a fire
Cumbersome is my soul.
How can someone fill whats left of the holes?
How selfish and jaded Ive become to let someone in,someone other than him.
Yet he feeds a different part of me.
Which vein do I cut off?
The vein Ive never touched except with paint and brush?
The vein that made me blush?
Which do I hold aloft?
Which do I cast-off?
Polyamorous-Muliple loves of mine.
I keep them to myself.
I need them both,I want to keep them both, so I place them on a shelf.
Rip them out of out my sketch book and fold them very...

Baby Im gone (repost)
I'll be gone babe gone,
if you dont come home another night.
It'll all be gone babe gone,
even if I have to try with all my might
to walk away and not call out your name.
This love will be gone babe gone,
if it all stays the same.
& you only have yourself to blame.
My mind is gone baby gone,
every time you walk away.
Gone with you,
trying to imagine the things you do.
When you're gone babe gone,
I cant help myself,
Youre all I see and I cant be me
when you're gone baby gone.
We've come so far,...
if you dont come home another night.
It'll all be gone babe gone,
even if I have to try with all my might
to walk away and not call out your name.
This love will be gone babe gone,
if it all stays the same.
& you only have yourself to blame.
My mind is gone baby gone,
every time you walk away.
Gone with you,
trying to imagine the things you do.
When you're gone babe gone,
I cant help myself,
Youre all I see and I cant be me
when you're gone baby gone.

Night is for the saviors
I draw you in my sleep.
Erasing your lips,spouting venom.
Your eyes,so red in anger.
Your hands...my eraser breaks and my trembling ceases.
I draw him in the morning.
Eyes smiling.
Mouth sweetly pouting,
Hand and fingers tracing the the contours of a woman's face.
At twilight I sign my initials at the bottom of both pages.
Dropping the pencil to the floor,I stare out the window as my long time friend Night approaches ever enclosing me in its comfort.
It comes through the open window filling every crevice and corner of the room with it's dense...
Erasing your lips,spouting venom.
Your eyes,so red in anger.
Your hands...my eraser breaks and my trembling ceases.
I draw him in the morning.
Eyes smiling.
Mouth sweetly pouting,
Hand and fingers tracing the the contours of a woman's face.
At twilight I sign my initials at the bottom of both pages.
Dropping the pencil to the floor,I stare out the window as my long time friend Night approaches ever enclosing me in its comfort.
It comes through the open window filling every crevice and corner of the room with it's dense...
