Back at Zero
The empty cup filled itself
half way up,
only to be knocked over.

Just So You Know
Faking cancer.
Faking suicide.
Fake accounts.
I've never been one to judge books on just
their cover, I read into everything and totally
got your number. All of them.

2 Candy Bars and A Bag of Chips
He stole from her store at least once a week.
She figured he must be hungry.
She let him go time after time.
Didn't want to ruin his young life by calling
the cops. It was only candy.
Fast forward 15 years and 100 miles away
her son is car-jacked and killed.
She looked over her sons body and weept.
The police had the killer.
She was told his name. It felt familiar.
She went home and cried and then a flash of
light went through her mind and she saw that little
boys face and remembered his...

Somewhere Near The Bend
Only the water knew his name.
In the river he bathed.
In the river he stayed.
A handful of stones.
A pile of bones.
Over time, everything he was washed away.

Who Sits Behind You?
She had seen enough movies to know she could
easily strangle the man in front of her.
She looked down at her shoe laces and looked
up at the back of the man's neck.
Her laces were old. Possibly dry rotted, they
could break with any real force applied.
She touched her belt. It was a bit wide she wasn't
sure if it would work. She imagined it would take
longer.
There was a CVS bag next to her. Maybe she
could snuff him out with that. Yeah right. Those
bags are cheap. She wondered why no one ever
ripped the bag...

The Bye and Bye
The barrel was in her face
and then a bullet in her brain.
Rewind, back to the beginning.
A phone call.
An old friend.
An hour car ride.
No, thats not how it ends, should have. Didn't.
She pulled in, he came out and the past seemed
like the future. She broke away from his embrace
he left and she drove away.
What could've been haunted her heart.
Oh well. Oh fucking well.
No gas, a little cash and an orange light blinking.
She had to stop. ...

It's Always Dreary
Most of the world are dead inside
the others are people who haven't realized it yet
or just idiots.
We're on a giant turd that used to be a
wonderful place then, humans ate it up
and shit it out.
Don't get me wrong there's humor in this misery,
just have be a tortured soul to see it.
I'm laughing so hard my cheeks hurt and tears
streak my face. No reason to cry, it's something
the eyes do to annoy me. Ocular hope.
The brain knows better.
2 million joints and a bazillion cigarettes
and enough wine...

Living In Hell, Matt Mccormick Apartment 110
Matt didn't mean to lie all the time
he had good intentions but we all
know where those lead.
The Devil told Matt to relax and that he'd
be back real soon.
Matt waits an eternity and a few forevers,
never once realizing the joke was on him.
Deceiving the deceiver.

Little Linda
No one knew
so no one came.
Someone left flowers on her grave.
She died
how she lived,
in secret.

Living In Hell. Damien and Mary Karras Apartment 73
His mother was doomed to sew socks in Hell
so when he heard she got a new apartment
he went down to see her and the Devil gave
him his own room.
Now all he can say is darn.

Living In Hell. Tina Lee, Apartment 33
The Devil said he heard her sobbing but
somehow she convinced him she was
giggling in reverse. Now her tears
roll up instead of down.
Very strange.
Just assume everything is a comic joke
and keep on laughing.
