The Shipwrecked Heart
He had emptied an ocean for her.
No seashells
No gold
Just salt and bones.

Someone Else's Tears
Angry eyes which never cry
are suddenly wet.
Does anyone have a Kleenex?

Travesty
Oh how I wish I could sing
maybe then I could make you
feel something, something,
for me.

The 20 Year Bummer
I once had witnessed a cat be run over.
The cats suffering ended that day,
My suffering continues.
There's supposed to be some coded meaning
in this and these tragedies and I tend to to
think the meaning ended with the cat and I
choose to suffer instead of letting it go.
Eh, who knows?

A Screaming Wind
His voice hurts her ears.
Piercing.
A mouthy earring.
Dangling,
on the edge of being silenced.

Rubber With Bones
Bouncing off walls
I'm a ball,
of stress.

The Meek Are Ready.
She plugged her ears and moved swiftly through the trees.
She thought of the sounds that crickets make
anything to drown out the screams.
Fear began whispering inside of her head.
She wanted to go back but she knew even if
they're alive now in a few moments they'd all
be dead.
Booms, bangs, cries, and shrieks they
should've ran with her instead they called her
a Jesus freak.

Riding The Wave Until It Crashes
Pieces of me.
Pieces of he,
evaporating.
We are not the same, things have changed.
All about me
never about he.
Unblinking, unthinking, rapidly sinking.
Falling into a sea of me
leaving he, far behind.
Pieces of he,
evaporating.
We are not the same, things have changed.
All about me
never about he.
Unblinking, unthinking, rapidly sinking.
Falling into a sea of me
leaving he, far behind.

Exiting The Stage
It was easy not to care.
The hard part was giving a fuck.
Now, there's no blood trail to follow.

No Shore
The hopeful girl is now
the hopeless lady.
Oh the things time can do.

Orbiting Hell
Aging bones have let me know
that pain is forever.
Circles and cycles.
Lots of spinning.
Different situations, same feelings.

Off She Goes.
He yelled.
Her soul left her body and was swimming
in cool water, possibly a lake. Who knows.
He stopped yelling.
Her soul came back, relaxed.
He asked if she had heard a word he said.
She answered with a "huh?"
Again he yelled...
