Caring
I haven’t lost the caring
I no long care
One is the act
The other is in thought
I no long care
One is the act
The other is in thought

Dear Silence
I've written to you before, but only in my mind. You've come so close to being mine, but that time was never now. The last regret, the last thing I can't forget, were the words that you said to me. You told me quote "I was going to tell you how I feel, but I couldn't find my pen". Now that is silence to me.

Silent
I have been called a friend of a
thousand words,
But with you, I say none.
That speaks volumes to me
thousand words,
But with you, I say none.
That speaks volumes to me

Never again
No Poe, no Matt,
no Nick or Jordan
Will ever break
my heart again.
This time I'm
locking my heart away.
All are the same to me
People say love is out there
Well I disagree
Just in case it
Tries to slither in again
I'm locking my heart away.
no Nick or Jordan
Will ever break

I'm locking my heart away.

On the Subject of Apathy
Something crawls inside; burrowing,
nesting, laying eggs.
Incubation begins: growing things
one rarely speaks of.
Gestation takes time. Little veins,
filled with doubt, illuminate
worm like patterns: crimson brilliance,
now faded and dull.
Claws thrash through
gossamer integument, hatching uncertainty.
It consumes the psyche, eating emotions:
leaving behind a void.

Repent (2)
'Repent'' said the
Vile preacher
To the lovely young
Woman standing
In front of him.
As she was hard of hearing
And knowing the pastor's
Very nasty side
She thought she heard
''Re-bend''
And considering
His strong hold over
Her weakness and
Her desire to please
The Lord's earthly
Mouth piece
She proceeded
To do so.

Existence
It's been said to watch out for the quiet ones
yet no one ever does
Supposedly still waters run deep
but since people keep moving, how would they know?
So much assumed, forever taken for granted
Stay still, listen, find the reason of being
Perhaps this is the reason
most never slow down, not even in sleep
and others are never quick to be present
yet no one ever does
Supposedly still waters run deep
but since people keep moving, how would they know?
So much assumed, forever taken for granted
Stay still, listen, find the reason of being
Perhaps this is the reason
most never slow down, not even in sleep
and others are never quick to be present

You asked
You asked if it was flattery, to say that I belong to you.
You asked if it was destiny, that we should be more than friends.
You asked if the intensity was just too real to comprehend.
You asked if it was vanity to say you see yourself in my eyes.
I told you it was misery to see the end in yours.
You asked if it was destiny, that we should be more than friends.
You asked if the intensity was just too real to comprehend.
You asked if it was vanity to say you see yourself in my eyes.
I told you it was misery to see the end in yours.

Suffer
How many hushed voices ring
around your head?
never alone but feel so isolated in
even the inner ones
beckon a brighter vessel
those hollow words that echoes
salvation in dire disbelief
embracing the touch of malice as warmth.
as mutal destruction became a shared notion between fists and vitriol
the precious poisoned perfume reeks through the house
bottled dreams and dismissed beings
where dishes crash and fall to no end
veiled hurt by making friends
with the...

Solipsism
Solipsism
You only matter, right?
Your mind ebbs and flows to only thoughts of you
You're always right, yeah?
How can I be real when only you and your mind truly exists?
That's my question to you.

Therapy. (If it was really that easy)
Got treatment today.
The voices i can already hear.
Such calmness.
At odds with my deep intensity.
Words jumble.
I try to be whatever they want.
Whatever their script tells them.
They're ticking boxes.
Asking me to rate my own suicide chances.
My response determines the action plan.
I lie, and say the meds are just fine.
Perhaps they know I'm lying.
They never say.
I pretend I'm winning.
That I have this cracked.
When this day is done.
I will take some liquor.
To blur the reality.
Just...

eioau
i feel like a vowel today
like a flaccid letter between
clacking consonants
bit dull
but necessary
not quite enough
to make up
a meaningful word
alone
except you
or i
neither of which
is really enough
as we both know
vowels wait for another letter
to carry them
flourishing in the spaces
between corners
to create ambience
rather than
sharply
impressing on meaning
they’re where a word breaks
where emphasis peaks
in a yawning, or...
