Resurrection
I should set myself free
From what he wants me to be.
I’m a fool
Making too many
Mistakes
And I wait
For him
To respond…
Tormented by this vice
Of my own making.
I should release
Myself the burden
Of caring
Of staring
At my phone
Release myself
From this man
Who will never come.
Listen to
….a pale
voice in a desperate struggle
(....he doesn’t
……...want
...your love…
……..just enough...
From what he wants me to be.
I’m a fool
Making too many
Mistakes
And I wait
For him
To respond…
Tormented by this vice
Of my own making.
I should release
Myself the burden
Of caring
Of staring
At my phone
Release myself
From this man
Who will never come.
Listen to
….a pale
voice in a desperate struggle
(....he doesn’t
……...want
...your love…

When he Leaves....
Cover your heart
Put a warm blanket down
To protect it from the ice
Tuck it around you
And brace...

The problem with space
You need a little space
And so do I.
But you took the space first
And now my time
Is crowded with doubt
Squeezed (breathe out)
I can’t breathe without
A word or two
From you,
From you.
It’s Through.
…………......it’s true.
I want to run
Until my lungs give out
Give me
A second to breathe
You encompass all my need
And now you’ve taken
All my space.
And so do I.
But you took the space first
And now my time
Is crowded with doubt
Squeezed (breathe out)
I can’t breathe without
A word or two
From you,
From you.
It’s Through.
…………......it’s true.
I want to run
Until my lungs give out
Give me
A second to breathe
You encompass all my need
And now you’ve taken
All my space.

Vulnerable walls in the wake of storm
It’s a knowing.
It settles
Into every unprotected corner
Into the basement cracks
Into the forgotten holes
Into the fractures of the wall
Into the fissures of the broken sink
It will slink away
It’s happening now….
Cowering back into the sea.
It settles

It will slink away
It’s happening now….

Thinking of his Girlfriend
I know my undoing
And I can’t
Stop.
I watch him from across the room.
A fire
Spreads from
The words we’ve said
The wrongs I did
Coming to fruition.
I want his skin
On top of me
Between my thighs
Between my thoughts
Between the Moments
And the pauses in between.
I don’t know
How real he is
From what I’ve made him to be.
I’m beginning to see
He's not the god
That once I saw
But even more
In human form
A fallible
Breakable man
And...
And I can’t
Stop.
I watch him from across the room.
A fire
Spreads from
The words we’ve said
The wrongs I did
Coming to fruition.
I want his skin
On top of me
Between my thighs
Between my thoughts
Between the Moments
And the pauses in between.
I don’t know
How real he is
From what I’ve made him to be.
I’m beginning to see
He's not the god

But even more
In human form

In the Breakroom
To have you
Right now
Pull up my skirt….
Grab my hips
Slip inside….
Drip down my thigh
You always find
That ache
That you alone create
And rhythmically fuck
Out of me.
Right now
Pull up my skirt….

The Towel in your Backseat
I forget
The warnings.
You told me
This was nothing
And you would call
When time permitted...
I start to wilt
With worry
And need
And weeds
Of doubt
Bubble and stew
I try to get through
But it’s you….
And you
Never cared for
A word I say.
And anyway,
I must be unaffected.
I am
The face
You love in the dark
The body you taste
In the back seat
Of your car.
The warnings.
You told me

One of your Girls
At first
It was
A thing
A fling
One and done
Once or twice
Keep it nice….
Before the feels
Come creeping in.
And now fevers
Plague my bed
Thoughts of you
Crowd my head
My hands on you
While your cock slides through
Filling me
With what I need
Until the night
Bleeds away into lonely
Oblivion
When you leave…
Melancholy and silence
Spreads into the spaces
That you filled.
You will never be mine
Not even for-
The briefest of time….. ...

Thoughts from a Cheater
To be next to you
With this insufferable ache
Knowing what I’ve done
And what I’m doing
Will destroy everything you
Believed you know about me.
If I were to take your hand
Confess it all...
Allow the pain
Of betrayal to finally breathe
I know
It would end
Everything...
Including,
And most importantly,
Your love.
The kind of death
I cannot bear.
No, I’ll take this to the dirt…
And in the interim
It will cut me in half.
Permanently
Sentence me beneath
You ...

After his death....
If I just stretch out my arms a little more…
There’s a light
And I can reach it.
It’s just this torment that sits
Like a vulture in my stomach
Poised for my attention
For me to listen,
Aching to find
Its place;
Lost as a wary beam of dust
That doesn’t know
Where to land
Caught in the rift
Of an aimless drift
And I can’t look,
Not now.
I know its darkness….
And the despair that harbors in the depths.
That’s where I’ll find
The one who left
Who died
Who might...
There’s a light
And I can reach it.
It’s just this torment that sits
Like a vulture in my stomach
Poised for my attention
For me to listen,
Aching to find
Its place;
Lost as a wary beam of dust
That doesn’t know
Where to land
Caught in the rift
Of an aimless drift
And I can’t look,
Not now.
I know its darkness….
And the despair that harbors in the depths.
That’s where I’ll find
The one who left
Who died
Who might...

The Watcher
The raven’s eye
In the feral night
Always there
Always
Watching...while he waits…
Poignantly beautiful,
Straddling the metal
Of a blunt, black Harley
Swathed in the heaviness
Of male musk, the heady
Scent of sex
In the dead of night
I move at the edge of a picnic table
And his fingers find their way
Inside
I forget to breathe
The world awash in silence
He is hard and bold
And when he slips inside
My pearly slick
I explode.
He
Is
The center of all
The zenith of...
In the feral night
Always there
Always
Watching...while he waits…
Poignantly beautiful,
Straddling the metal
Of a blunt, black Harley
Swathed in the heaviness
Of male musk, the heady
Scent of sex
In the dead of night
I move at the edge of a picnic table
And his fingers find their way
Inside
I forget to breathe
The world awash in silence
He is hard and bold

My pearly slick

You are what you Eat
You take me to the kitchen
After an hour of
Fucking on your floor
Three shelves of liquor
And rotten, hard boiled eggs
In the fridge.
She’s crazy
You say
The fourth woman tonight
With outrageous proclivities.
You strut naked
Having conquered the conquest
A roll of fat complimenting
Ham hock legs.
I’m trying to study the paintings
That you picked up
At a thrift shop
Chosen for their lack
Of imagination, I suppose. ...
