chain rattling assbags of the past
The cloth ordered in our size
had beatings
and poverty
woven in the grain
and our makers cuts us
arm-and-neck from that single
cloth before burning it
with our backs still in it.
I saw you in the shards of
the mirror I hated myself in.
And you.
There was no one like you,
like me,
like you.
We were as funny as
as smart as
as sexy as
as damaged as
as widly passionate as a moment
snapped from a workvan of the
rising sun on an alien ocean
we were rough...

I keep picking the scabs with the clock hands
My bloody heel prints
marked a path from the
broken clockface to the door
where I wandered
this last time
there was a part of me
that believed we'd meet again
and a smaller part
that wanted to
I limp away
to find a Walgreens
or a CVS
where I can buy
a bottle of peroxide
and a box of band aids
time only heals cuts
you don't re-open

We built worlds
like elite DMs,
built lives
and diversions
and adventures,
and stuck a purple dildo
in the butt crack of
rationality
and fucked the hell out of the
space-time continuum
but we never found
the spell
to give
life back
to these ragged
bones of us
My ghost wafts aimless
in the graveyard,
and looks fondly
at the corpse
of a love
I thought
had a zillion
hit points
but went down
with a few
misplaced
goodbyes
and your...

Moving along
..
I was left speechless
His grin toothy
His eyes sparkling
As we drove past exotic beaches
I began to quiver
His hands on my left thigh
His lips freshly licked
We halted the car with hope, a sliver
I stepped out so that we'd stroll
His keys jingling
His eyes watering
We even held hands; his were cold
I began to speak
His words interrupted
His pace slowing
We stopped in front of the beach
I then froze
His expression changing
His body betraying his words
As...

Rewind
You can't say that I didn't try.
I gave you what I could.
I even let you have my mind.
Nights I prayed,
And days I use to fantasize.
I was mesmerized how I reflected in your eyes.
Plus I hate to mention,
All the little dirty things you would do for me.
Flowers just because.
Reminiscing on what once was.
Holding hands when we bent the block.
Late night smoke sessions.
And early morning pillow talks.
Sexing you above the sheets.
While the radio played slow beats.
I'd like to press rewind,
Just to find what we lost...
I gave you what I could.
I even let you have my mind.
Nights I prayed,
And days I use to fantasize.
I was mesmerized how I reflected in your eyes.
Plus I hate to mention,
All the little dirty things you would do for me.
Flowers just because.
Reminiscing on what once was.
Holding hands when we bent the block.
Late night smoke sessions.
And early morning pillow talks.
Sexing you above the sheets.
While the radio played slow beats.
I'd like to press rewind,
Just to find what we lost...

You promised me everything I’ve never had
Coffee and Halloween candy
Always confidently saying “she’s not that much younger than me”
What I thought was love was only pity
And fucked up codependency
I should’ve known this is how it would end
From the first moment we met
You were biting her neck
And staring at me
Now when I look you in the eyes
I’m pressing on a bruise
That’s three different shades of blue
Because you gave her a ring
While always promising me the same thing
I thought you’d come back when...
Coffee and Halloween candy
Always confidently saying “she’s not that much younger than me”

And staring at me
Now when I look you in the eyes
I’m pressing on a bruise
That’s three different shades of blue

While always promising me the same thing

Sunflower
You are a sunflower
The glory in any flield
I wanted you from a far
But your love was too much
I wanted to be yours
To lick your honeysuckle
To smell your nectar bloom
But your love was too much
You are a sunflower
Green eyes and golden skin
I'm the daffodil king
And I loved you too much
You're a sunflower growing wild
A beauty among the bees
You're not just another wildflower
And I could never tame you
No, I could never tame you
Your love was too high a price to pay
So, I'll...

The New Woman
I envy her, the new woman,
Whose lips you now taste,
Gently, tenderly, like a secret
Whispered between breaths.
Her body is a temple that chains,
A captor of your soul I could not hold,
A purveyor of the sweetest euphoria.
She now lies beside you in darkness,
Her warmth, a stark reminder
Of the stranger now hold in my bed.
Forgive me, for I covet
The sinful thrill of your touch,
A remnant of longing for the forbidden,
A delight that dances with shadows.
I praise the new woman, this stranger,
The new keeper...
Whose lips you now taste,
Gently, tenderly, like a secret
Whispered between breaths.
Her body is a temple that chains,
A captor of your soul I could not hold,
A purveyor of the sweetest euphoria.
She now lies beside you in darkness,
Her warmth, a stark reminder
Of the stranger now hold in my bed.
Forgive me, for I covet
The sinful thrill of your touch,
A remnant of longing for the forbidden,
A delight that dances with shadows.
I praise the new woman, this stranger,
The new keeper...

The Missing Game (lyrics)
verse]
You're chasing ghosts
in this missing game
don't look down
no, don't look down
stay a while and maybe we'll forget
all these things we've learned to hate
before I leave you standing
at the edge of lonely
[Verse 2]
I don't miss you like a lover should
I'm done making love to ghosts
under these bruised skies
that spell out our names
in a broken you me tragedy
[Chorus]
We hold on
when we should let go
I'm lost without you
in this missing game
missing game
I hold...
You're chasing ghosts
in this missing game
don't look down
no, don't look down
stay a while and maybe we'll forget
all these things we've learned to hate
before I leave you standing
at the edge of lonely
[Verse 2]
I don't miss you like a lover should
I'm done making love to ghosts
under these bruised skies
that spell out our names
in a broken you me tragedy
[Chorus]
We hold on
when we should let go
I'm lost without you
in this missing game
missing game
I hold...

Poorly Worded Closure for a Girl I Used to Know
I met the girl of my dreams.
An existential compliment.
To everything I thought I wanted.
And,
We didn't really stay together.
At the end.
We just didn't care.
But, we were inseparable from the start.
A passion past by on lazy hazy grey days.
Where the sun hides behind dismal clouds.
Brooding in the sky.
She was my own personal manic pixie dream girl.
That I heard about in movies.
I never watch.
Yet,
I pushed her away.
I cheated,
I lied,
I took her for granted.
I acted...
An existential compliment.
To everything I thought I wanted.
And,
We didn't really stay together.
At the end.
We just didn't care.
But, we were inseparable from the start.
A passion past by on lazy hazy grey days.
Where the sun hides behind dismal clouds.
Brooding in the sky.
She was my own personal manic pixie dream girl.
That I heard about in movies.
I never watch.
Yet,
I pushed her away.
I cheated,
I lied,
I took her for granted.
