Poet Introduction
ghostly feels in my words, if you do not know me; i will stay silent. read my words and emphasize. then perhaps you could learn who i am, as i'm slowly learning myself.

raining anxiety
drip, drop as the sky cries
racing the sundown
only to run back into your arms
radio's down a few miles
trembling with coffee and water
tried to refuel before you took me home
as i hit your sheets
wondering why i'm not better
hurting & questioning this weather i'm under
pains striking much like lightening
thoughts rolling with the thunder
separating from our storm
the sun won't shine another day
if we stay inside this barn-home shelter
racing the sundown
only to run back into your arms
radio's down a few miles
trembling with coffee and water
tried to refuel before you took me home
as i hit your sheets
wondering why i'm not better
hurting & questioning this weather i'm under
pains striking much like lightening
thoughts rolling with the thunder
separating from our storm
the sun won't shine another day
if we stay inside this barn-home shelter

small lungs with what destination
shedding more than just hair
leaving a mark each time my clothes hit the floor
too comfortable too soon; becoming distant
so speechless within the empty insanity
that's being held inside a barn
effecting more than just you and i
words can fall and fall but never ever so intimate
careless laughs just for a reason to smile;
even pain strikes then, what do we even miss?
not a face, touch nor breath of wind
only which has brought us here
too far out into this ocean, but i'm swimming
sometimes sinking just to...

w///o you
empty out the wallet
my heart needs change
weeks' gone by
it's all the same
banking on nothing
except his bed
sleeping endlessly
killing the pains
leaving me cold
palms sweating
hopeless and in the hospital
i was lied to
or maybe no secrets were kept
just separate from my ears
crying, i drown
-- bottle after bottle
seeing the money ripple
into my bloodstream
just to try to remember
my heart needs change
weeks' gone by
it's all the same
banking on nothing
except his bed
sleeping endlessly
killing the pains
leaving me cold
palms sweating
hopeless and in the hospital
i was lied to
or maybe no secrets were kept
just separate from my ears
crying, i drown
-- bottle after bottle
seeing the money ripple
into my bloodstream
just to try to remember

drunken words to you
you have yet to cease
to be who i see you to be-
movements
and sounds from you..
how you smirk
and be ever so silent.
push me harder, leave me further,
but my heart could never escape -
the love, the fear i have towards you.
for the lack of completeness you've left me,
for once,
ive never felt so whole.

13 hours -
feet aching,
tired eyes;
then a beer
in my hand.
the 8th and cue
go in.
hands thrown.
quarters are down.
sitting becomes a bliss,
until we step outside.
smoke in my eyes.
falling asleep.
will something catch on fire?
i look &
rarely do i touch.
rules are rules.
but,
what is mine?
219 miles
and my mind
is always racing.
november was
our final straw.
In a few more months,
you said you'll come -
back for me..
days will pass,
money will drain.

trick or treat
and the clowns
don't understand.
a face is put on,
happiness is faked,
but where is the passion?
flowers from a sleeve,
aren't even real;
yet a card is played,
and everything changes.
i'm only a fool for you -
a mask is never worn
and expressed daily.
but i'm just a joke,
i make everyone laugh;
fears live through me,
painted smiles scare.
don't understand.

who am i to you?
wrap your hands around my neck;
end it. end it.
make this the best ever.
bring all of your pleasure, but give me pain.
you're so bittersweet.
i just want to feel your skin,
even if it's the last time;
my heart's withering to it's death.
take the misery away
just in one night.
come back, pretend you're mine.
and take it.
keep what you've broken,
because baby i don't want it anymore.
i'll be ghost to you,
what difference would it make..
end it. end it.

torture
i can't think straight
i'm so sad, but no pity allowed;
for nothing could help this...
well, perhaps a professional,
but that isn't needed
nor really wanted;
because i want you.
i'm not myself.
i cannot feel my face.
everything's so numb.
my thoughts are uncontrolled.
i need you.
can't you tell?
i'm such a mess otherwise.
i know i say too much,
sometimes,
but you deserve it;
the reminders,
that someone loves you
and cares so dearly.
i know i'm sad,
but your happiness
is far more important.
and i just...

finally moving x pretty lights
I wish we had gone
into this darkness -
hand in hand.
For I'd follow you
anywhere.
But I dove in
head first,
not knowing
what I'd hit.
I found my heart broken,
and now,
all I have
is this sock monkey.
Maybe this is right,
we could hold
each other soon.
But the flesh
that once touched you,
will soon be forgotten.
You'd move on,
and I'd build a home.
But a home,
isn't a home...
yet.

now i can hear everything;
cars passing,
cat walking,
the silence is a bliss.
music plays,
car doors shut,
i sat put.
froze,
literally.
it's chilly.
i light another square.
