Empathy
I feel your pain inside my heart
before you say a word
if ever a word is spoken.
My chest burns as the hottest fire
while rapid, erupting heartbeats
spew ashes of our wounds into clean air.
And yet we simmer in silence
like leftover coals.
before you say a word

My chest burns as the hottest fire
while rapid, erupting heartbeats
spew ashes of our wounds into clean air.
And yet we simmer in silence
like leftover coals.

Hasty Hesitation
I asked him if he still liked me
wondering if he thought on
someone else while loving me.
His response came abrupt
and suddenly with little reluctancy.
Now he's hugging me.

Self Centered
I'd like to hop, skip,
and jump off this bridge
to stop the world from turning
that suffers inside of me.

Honestly
The handmade lavender lotion
oiled across my body helps
to remind me that I'm
on edge, but still
very much
alive.

Work
I'm helping to build the path
you and I are walking on
to continue our life's journey.
My countenance is labored
as you throw me under the bridge.

To the Lover Who Disrespected Me
You said if I intended to hurt you, that showed my character.
I think what shows my character is my amount of devotion to those that I care about. That includes compliments, which many I gave you, even if they are not true. As well as my time, money, intellect, and love. (Including that time I drove you to your place when you were drunk. I went there the Sunday night.)
I met you in a time of deep hardship. And was honest with you. As honest as I could be. After a while, which I realize is naive of me, I began to believe we have a connection.
When I look...

Here Nor There
My cup was empty
spacious, until you filled it.
Or did I fill myself up
with your hot air?
Never mind.
Cloud-covered nightlife
erases memories of my pale, moon friend
Drinking from the bottom of the bottle
with a broken rim
now that you're gone
to get my fill
spacious, until you filled it.
Or did I fill myself up

Never mind.

In Waiting
Most days I feel alone
and wait for your attention.
Soft spoken in my pleading
blue eyes will tell my tale.
I slow my anxious heartbeat
with hope I might die sooner.

Sink
My heart says yes to those open sails
on your boat which will never touch the waves.
And I'll drown myself in that hole
on your boat which lets no water in.

Manipulation
Vain disgust
so robust
I hate myself
but you know
I'll come around
and fall in love.

Fake Love
You said you wished it was you and me
as you wanted me to love you.
But where was I when you weren't with me
and where were you when you didn't love me back.
as you wanted me to love you.
But where was I when you weren't with me

Sunk
If ever
there comes a time
when I need you
I'm reminded
of my place
beneath you.
