An update on Austin

Hey everybody,

This is Austin’s sister Tina. It’s with great sadness that I must inform you that Austin took his life in August of this year. Poetry was his life and I just wanted to thank you all for being there to support my brother. We are all heartbroken over this loss, but perhaps through his poetry- my brother will live on forever ❤️

Goodbye Candice, Goodbye Cruel World

I’m done
Finished
Over it

She’s never coming back. She left me for that worm Jermaine. Jermaine who defiles her when he feels like it. Jermaine who treats her like dirt.

I would have treated you like a queen, Candice. You were my only love. My entire heart.

I can’t go on. This world is not for me. Time to end it all.

Goodbye

HOW THE f**k COULD YOU, CANDICE?!?!?

I loved you
I fucking trusted you
When you left you told me there was nobody else
So imagine my surprise when I walked in on you two
Your legs wrapped around his head
Like some great slut squid
All I’ve ever shown you is unconditional love
How long has this been going on?
You left me for another poet?
Is he better than me?
I intend to find out!!
He looked familiar
This all feels familiar
I wish I could hate you, Candice
But still I yearn
For your return
And I’d forgive it all
If you promised to never see...

My Stepped On Heart

You stepped all over my heart
Like it was cheap, redneck cocaine
You stepped all over my heart
Come and step on it again

You insulted the size of my manhood
You laughed at my pain and my tears
You shared our bed with another
Confirming ev’ry one of my fears

Candice, I’ve loved you forever
But you left me and I cannot say why
Without you I can’t face tomorrow
So I’ll lay down right here and die

Candice
Missing, beautiful
Disappear, lie, cheat
I could never believe it

Fresh Out Of The Mental Ward

They locked me up
After a failed suicide attempt
Said I was a danger to myself and others

Fools!
There was nothing left of me to kill
She did that
When she left

I don’t plan on hurting myself anymore
I just miss her
Everyday

Ode To Candice

Ode to Candice
A Sonnet by Austin Flank

My sweet Candice, you inspire me to write.
I hate the way you Run and disappear,
Invading my ev’ry day and through the night,
Always dreaming about these lonely years.

Would you compare me to the broken moon?
I am more sullen and devastated
Dark sun heats the crippled peaches of June,
And summertime if left intoxicated.

How do I love you? Let me count the ways.
I love your raw Beauty, oh so sweet.
Thinking of your golden hair fills my days.
My love for you is the token...

My Long Gone Beloved

Another week
Another Day
      Another Minute
         Another Second
       Without her
    Without You
  No Hope
No Direction

I can’t sleep
I can’t eat
I can’t go on
Pretending like this isn’t
Killing me

Candice, what have you done?

Puddle Of Hurt

Drain this hurt
From the remnants of my heart
You left me here
A flesh puddle of my former self

Your imprint on the bed
Still smells of you
I sniff it daily
And choke back tears

Good God, how long will I pine
Over this woman
My soul mate
My all

And It Shall Be Done

Love is the greatest of all gifts
The world can offer
I tasted its sweet nectar
Only to be left hungry

Candice, what more could I have done?
Haven’t I proven I’d go to the ends of the Earth for you?
Tell me what more I can do
And it shall be done
