What She Caught Him Doing Behind Her Back
While climbing out of
the pool, Susan looked
at her husband fool
around til her best
friend which made her mad.

how can you be gone
when WE were meant to grow old,
i now walk alone

i now walk alone

Toxic
When seconds after “good-morning”
I have to repeat in my mind:
I am intelligent!
I can be understood!
I am skilled!
I am useful!
I am valid!
I am valuable!
Because a single conversation
Left me doubting
Myself

Out of tons of shit—
Rows upon rows of roses
Love them, thorns and all

Hi!
Muse of what
I don't know...
I miss you
immensely,
the dense lack
of those who never
stopped loving.

Pain is just a message
That something has gone poorly
Your nerves command
A horse through town
The moment before
Healing begins

Tired
My heart tires from carrying its love for you on its back
The butterflies turned extra baggage weigh heavy
Like rocks in pockets, or boulders on feet.

Heart
There’s blood
Dripping
Off the veins
About my aorta,
As though
She’d just
Ripped it out
Last Thursday.

Meant To Be Alone
For all the angels, /
i will never be enough , /
meant to be alone.
i will never be enough , /
meant to be alone.

There's no peace in the silence
When things calm down and the world goes quiet,
I can't seem to find any peace in the silence.
I can't seem to find any peace in the silence.

Phone call
A surprise “I love you”?
Nope
Saying “thank you”?
Of course not
To say, “you’re appreciated”?
Never
Pointing out another error?
Yes
I’d take a drive
To recenter
If only I could
Fucking phone call
Pouring ice bucket on my day
