Poor Mom was in shock.

Simply Stated

She broke her soul on his feelings

Simple

Breaks like glass
Cuts like love

Put Out the Fire

my life with you
hopelessly
embroiled in
affairs of heart
words enflame sorrow
screaming from bell jars
deafened through routine
our survival strategy
denies you me us

Indifference of Flesh

How callous my flesh is,
for healing itself,
indifferent to my pleas.
For abandoning my insides in hell
to writhe in agony,
indifferent to their torment.

From One Womb

Emanated from the very womb
Two fetuses
Entangled in webs of DNA
Yet one was born to be the victim
Suffering with a smile
Sucked dry from blood by the other

Sanguine Plumule

Weeping tarnished pearls
For the sprout in anguish
Seeking my shelter
That harms her instead

These aren’t my wails
They’re hers
Inflicted by my green thumb
Withering the fragile
Sanguine plumule

Broken Promises, Broken Mirrors

No reasoning here
You've demolished many hearts
Mirrors tell no lies

Rejected Love

Rain fell on my lonely heart
Melancholy thoughts
You put out my only flame

Moss Pillows in the Field

My pillow is sheeted in moss
Maybe this is where
The sun shines not enough
I sleep here
Guard your memory from growing green
Listen to lullaby engravings
Brush cold stone
Breath alone
Feel your absence

Suffocated

You were
rare air
in my lungs
 
I lie
vacant-eyed
as my chest
stills

Love can be quite painful

Love is all around
Like a serial killer
At least the killer kills you
Love just bleeds you slow
