spiders (hold onto me)
I want to cling to you
like you're my life line
only we've both fallen overboard
and it's anyone's guess
on who will drown the other first
You asked me what I wanted
for Christmas
and I don't know how to tell you
I want kindness gift wrapped
and secured with a bow
but there aren't any feel-good vibes
left in this frigid water between us
and no other gift will ever suffice
Love, love, love, love, love
it's just a four letter word
and I'm so dead inside
I can't imbue the word
with...

Love Letters (Romeo and Juliet)
My Dear Romeo,
I stay still as you caress my back. Involuntary my breath hitches from the touch. I know you are doing what you think I want. You’re giving me a small amount of you as if I am to be rationed for a war that I never enlisted in.
I close my eyes and hold back the tears for the silent pain that the single gentle touch caused. We have grown older together as we pledged to do, and yet we can’t rather you can't....
I tell myself I can settle for a kiss, but that is pulled away. I can settle for this caress if there is to be nothing else, but I know my...

With u gone
With u gone seems like a nightmare. Feelings of worthlessness and lonely ness to much to bare. Feels like I am running out of air. Walls closing in so heavy and cold. The pain of u gone is to much to bare. The days drag on like an endless parade. Depression holding me down leaving me gasping for air. My light is dieing in side but can't see it from the outside. Wishing u was here. 2 years needs to already be here. So life can go on and I can be happy again.

Replication
Your eagerness echoed his persistence,
both vestiges of the whispered call
I heard telling me I was home
in his arms and from his chest so many lives ago
Not to mention my first follow, little cloud left me in darkness
Model 4, not counting revisions within editions,
wrought, knowingly, with pitfalls and potholes and risk
with blind eyes wide open, I enter
high risk; an exponential increase to the charge
I am sparking, seeking a flame to burn only me
The distortions I've been spinning myself,
thinking in moments I...

Captured
Sometimes I close my eyes so I can't see
Sometimes I feel so close
So trapped I can't breathe
I just want to be by myself
Just set me free
Just let me be
Release me
You've got me in this cocoon
that I can't pry open
So I scratch and I punch and I pull at it
till my fingers bleed
You've trapped me in this box
where I can't breathe
So I yell and I fight
till the box fills with my screams
Just let me be
Just set me free
Release me
You've got me in this world
Where my head is spinning ...
Sometimes I feel so close
So trapped I can't breathe
I just want to be by myself
Just set me free
Just let me be
Release me
You've got me in this cocoon
that I can't pry open
So I scratch and I punch and I pull at it
till my fingers bleed
You've trapped me in this box
where I can't breathe
So I yell and I fight
till the box fills with my screams
Just let me be
Just set me free
Release me
You've got me in this world
Where my head is spinning ...

It doesn't matter to me
It doesn't matter to me
What the rich people thinks
About the poor
I know that the rich people hate the
Poor
Also the poor people are always
Suffering
Some have a drink problem
And they drink like a fish
The rich people won't give a meal for the
Poor people
And the poor people are always starving every
Single day
Also they are dehydrated because they have
Nothing to drink
Also the poor people sleeps in the street
During the Summer
They also refuse to go to a shelter
Because of bed bugs
God is always...

Forlorn
Wandering ghost past faces
A feast for their eyes
Yet still unseen

Love Lasts Forever
A cold December night
It changed his whole life
She'd not been long his wife
But in that night she died
Helpless - he stands there all alone
Lonely - a long hard way to go
When they first met the angels sang
It was love at first sight
Her lovely smile, her happiness
Will never leave his mind
He loved to dance with her
The plans they've had are over now
He can not hold his tears
He tries to go his way somehow
But he's to sad to bear
He can not forget her
In some nights he can find no sleep ...
It changed his whole life
She'd not been long his wife
But in that night she died
Helpless - he stands there all alone
Lonely - a long hard way to go
When they first met the angels sang
It was love at first sight
Her lovely smile, her happiness
Will never leave his mind
He loved to dance with her
The plans they've had are over now
He can not hold his tears
He tries to go his way somehow
But he's to sad to bear
He can not forget her
In some nights he can find no sleep ...

All The Lonely People
I feel if someone put their arms around me
If I felt the weight and warmth of another
I might just crumble
Into minuscule pieces
Of old sharp pottery
If I felt the weight and warmth of another
I might just crumble
Into minuscule pieces
Of old sharp pottery

CONFESSION
I've heard confession is good for the soul
Though I wonder when it's a stairwell to a bottomless hole
Spiraling downward in rings of loneliness
Where no one will listen to a depressing endless tale
Without a witness to absolve the spirit of a body full of sin
Or anyone to care about your honesty at the fatal end
You may as well keep it to yourself
Bottled up with a cork to seal in secret stealth
How no one cared enough to share
The love you nutured within there
A lifetime of emotion filled with hope
Forever dangling at the end of a...

The Lonely
Solitude whispers
a siren's call
Echoing through
the empty hall
Shadows stretch
consuming the light
Leaving the soul
in endless night
a siren's call
Echoing through
the empty hall
Shadows stretch
consuming the light
Leaving the soul
in endless night

Frigid gaze
I felt it all,
Coming,
Bitter,
Over my body!
Prejudice shaped,
Colored in judgement,
Co-living with darkness,
death as strangulates my warm throat.
Flagrant interconnection,
if only my kind were solitary DNA,
Rumbling over the forest,
Friend with trees.
Solitary coyote.
I gaze up!
All the colors of the scenery!
The show of the stars, the dearest lullaby!
The promise of a cosmic wonderland,
Of freedom!
I got it from them.
It is all missing this day!
What is happening?
Where did all come...
