Please Text Me
I have this tendency of talking too much
People probably would like me more
If I could just learn to keep my mouth shut
Here's my trauma and what happened today
My hands are stained from painting all day
I just wanted to talk to you... I'm sorry
I make everything so fucking awkward
I keep thinking about the way your lips felt
And I gotta get it out of my mind that I fucked up
I just keep fucking things up with you
I fight with myself on how often I should text you
We're on lock down, of course, you'd text me if you wanted to ...

Carelessness
When it comes to me,
she can't be bothered.
Like that silly plant,
you forget to water.
she can't be bothered.
Like that silly plant,

Virus
A couple months ago I heard about a guy with a case of Corona.
I'm in Atlanta, at the time elections were jumpin while the #MeToo movement was straight trumpin.
Ain't it something, I would have swore Australia was just burning.
Learning that the virus was a threat and not some beer I ait up news on the topic since Mid-January.
I wonder if China stayed on top of running obituaries.
It's scary how at first Corona was a whole lot of something over there in Wohan.
Then the virus donned on our allies and now has invaded our lives.
But does this feel like...

Goodbye nuthin’
When it’s all said and done..
and the curtain has called it’s
final run.
Before the last blow of
the saxophone
belts out it’s gentle hum -
it ain’t worth a damn unless you
love me.

Fossilization
When you talk to me
I wonder if you are talking to him too
I cut my ex out entirely
Because I still loved you
And I know we aren't together
I have no claim to this pain
But it still hurts and I'm still broken
Just slowly going insane
Hot tears fall from lifeless eyes
Like silent waterfalls flowing
This is exactly why I never liked
To have my emotions showing
Stuff it all back down
As deep as it can go
Lock and chain it up
Just like so long ago
Let it drag me down
To the deep depths of...

Crushed Pomegranate
I offer my love in the palm of my hands
My heart isn't whole, it isn't complete
Nothing but a small pile of pomegranate seeds
They aren't pristine or shimmering in freshness
But they are all I have to give right now
Bruised and a little bleeding, poured into your outstretched hands
I wonder what you'll do with my offering to you
Will you throw them in your mouth and crush them between your teeth
Will you just hold them... letting them stain you
My love sinking into your skin, staining them forever
Or will you let them slip through your...

Leather Pants
She always acts as if we aren't in love. As if the brick wall in my pursuit can stop me. But destiny exists only for us. Our names inscribed on a single gravestone; a hole big enough for just us two. I keep my house clean in case you arrive. There's a spot for you in my bed every night. And you still have not come. Why won't you come? Perhaps I should show you. You know that I own you. All kicking and screaming in your leather pants.

Rubber Bands
It's funny to see the amount of strain
That a human being can take
Minds like rubber bands
That resist harder as they expand
Trying to regain it's original form
To reestablish equilibrium
But sometimes rubber bands snap
And so does a person's spirit
For me it wasn't my parent's fighting
Or the monotonous job
Or the pressure of responsibilities
Or the growing pile of late homework
Or not knowing what I want in life
Or the fighting with friends
Or my overwhelming depression
Or the late night panic attacks
Or my...

G-string Incident
The contrast of your dulcet skin to your toneless eyes has never looked so sexy. The way you see right through me. The art in your sovereign stalk. Black is not a color but a feeling. The vacant spot for you as my inamorata screams in silent unrest. I just want to be whole again. To bathe in your acknowledgment. To lace myself around you like your g-string.

WORLDS APART
How can two souls have a deep inner connection, on a intelligent level through deep conversations miles apart in two separate worlds. Yet can they be theology able to exist separate yet still not apart, as one woman and one man trusting only there heart and soul from words spoken. How can they be able, to deal with the process with the absence of not being able, to look into each others eyes nor caress each others hands and feel the skin of each others flesh. How can they be able to withstand the weight of the world, upon their shoulders when the hustle and bustle of the grind becomes to much...

This Is Gonna Hurt. Isn't It?
It's hard for me to express my feelings
I've never been great with that
I don't have to tell you, I know
But you do make me want to get better
You always have really
Even when I wasn't a good person
And you stuck by me anyway
Sometimes I still wonder why you did
I love that when we are together
It feels like nothing's changed
The sparks are so evident
Chemistry is brewing
Or maybe I'm just insane
Or arrogant enough to think I qualify
To be someone who could have you
But I'm a coward
I could never tell you all...
