Lying

I lied to myself
All those years.
Pretentious.
Super inflated
Ego
Based on zero.
Then I was mad
At everyboy,
Mad at the World
Because the
House of Cards
Toppled and the
Ego was smashed
To nothing
By Reality.

Monochrome Mind

Dark blank black eyes
is it not clear what you see in the mirror.
Monochrome numb naething mind
is it not what we left behind.

Transient

I can't be angry;
you couldn't have known that door
led straight to my heart.

I opened it wide, trusting;
you never planned on staying.

What Would I Do Differently?

Were we once beautiful in silky skin?
We grasped more than we held.

mercy killing

I don't know where
all my years have
gone

-but if you are out
and about and run
into them-

please let them know
I miss them and
ask if they would
please come
home

thank you

IM SORRY

I AM SORRY...

THE FACT THAT YOUR FACE HAUNTS ME LETS ME KNOW THAT I DID WRONG...

SO I ASK THAT YOU FORGIVE ME..

SO I CAN HAVE PEACE...

The Moth

Like a moth drawn in
Flame of her alluring curves
 Death by Persona

I should have, but...

I
never
did
tell
you

That it was those
very first moments,
as my internal
self protect instructor
screamed out in bloody
There—
teetering on the edge
of our exquisite annihilation
in just fractions
of those hushed moments



I was already yours.

Sign

Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning. Even the heaven seems to be telling me that I must return to your side.

No Fix-all

You are in pain
My fault
We already knew
there is no cure
for us
