Pierce

Like a knife through
The center of an apple
You have pierced
The very core
Of this heart you swore
To cherish and hold
Tell me if you will
Why was your thrust
So devastatingly bold?

Cruel

Shards that glitter
Ice?
No.
Glass.
Delicately slice
Handfuls of ribbons
Unraveling my fingerprints
I leave myself
In bright, red prints
On your cool, blue surface
Hard, cold, sharp
Cruel.

Father

I am the fool who screams,

When I know you’ll smother my words.


Call me the clown.



Father.

Glitz

Somewhere, beyond the glitz
Of romantic bliss
Lies a true love
Men do insist
That truly does exist
But only for those
Willing to take a risk
That in the end
Only pain exists

Quiet

I can’t scream at you.

I’m not even sure I want to.


It’s the silence that hurts the most.

When Hearts Divide

I miss you,
Like the tide misses the moon
I miss you.

My surface does not move,
I am still, stagnant,
yearning for your pull.

Squashed

Help is on the way
Person wounded as he lays
Silenced, not to say

Every Heart Breaks

At one time or another
When love has played out
In a disappointing way
It's only natural to
Retreat in pain
Once in a while
Every Heart breaks

Heart Break Is...

When a happy heart keeps brewing love as a drink to share...
Then realizes there is no longer anyone sipping from the cup

Rain

The rain
comes down
Like pellets
As blue as
The pain in
My heart
I am nothing
If not
Your prisoner
Longing to be
Set free

with a breaking heart
willing myself to forget
love ever exists

I Thought I Knew Her So Well

Brody finds himself
becoming a broken
man after finding his
wife Sarah naked in
bed and with their
next door neighbor
Wilma on top of her.
