As They Wilt
silence in fugue
for far better ovations
mourn the dying sun
a blessing well vested
into nothingness
turns the muted veils
as nature takes hold
in duress
a lesson in futility
unfolds
for far better ovations
mourn the dying sun

USED
I feel so fucking used.
She told me she loved me.
She said she'd never let me go.
She loved everything about me.
She especially loved the way i made love to her.
She says our 20 yr age difference is a big deal.
I tell her age is just a number.
Besides your a grown young woman at age 28.
It shouldn't matter if I'm 48 or 88.
If you love me and i love you, that's all that should matter.
I've done so much for her.
I have done for her and her children that aren't even mine.
In the one month we've known each other, I've spent over $1500...
She told me she loved me.
She said she'd never let me go.
She loved everything about me.
She especially loved the way i made love to her.
She says our 20 yr age difference is a big deal.
I tell her age is just a number.
Besides your a grown young woman at age 28.
It shouldn't matter if I'm 48 or 88.
If you love me and i love you, that's all that should matter.
I've done so much for her.

meanderings of a wandering soul
look into my soul and find me turning in the sorrow
the truth comes upon me then evades me
once understood the lesson is then lost
when another facet of my personality takes charge
my essence will lie to you because I am afraid
no, don't touch, don't look at me there
I'm too vulnerable
you'll get the worst of me
proof I'm unlovable, turn away
I wonder are the broken pieces really me?
different sides of the whole
or are they more to the point
the hurt within
broken my soul shatters
then...

Happy
Somewhere
At the end of this story,
Is laughter,
Warm arms,
A shared pillow,
And a happy ending.

Evil
He deambulates in the finest clothes
Handmade by exclusive tailors
But each stitch
Bought with the blood from
Unsuspecting, naive souls
Who fell prey
To his charms, his honeyed words
And, sadly, their own
Eagerness
For wealth.

Lost Spark
Stop trying tricks. You are throwing on me bricks.
The waters of my heart are really deep,but bloody.
In it is my dead body. Its skin is so dry,you can't even cry.
The organs are full of cockroaches. But the history is why it's like this.
Oh,how I miss being a child.
Now there are bloody tissues all over the room.
They have spots of trauma.
I'm sure I lost the spark. My scale of self esteem is black.
I wore shoes of spikes inside them.
One day I will remake them. Please,grab me some love from the store.
A black...

Rebuilding From Sorrow's Ashes
don't
watch me
cry
just
walk
away
the
body racking
sobs
will be
too
much
hugs won't
stem the
sorrow
the sadnees
a river
rapid
my pain
will soon
wash away
then the
gluing
begins
watch me
cry
just
walk
away
the
body racking
sobs
will be
too
much
hugs won't
stem the
sorrow
the sadnees
a river
rapid
my pain
will soon
wash away
then the

Almost 15 years… gone
When it happened
I wasn’t sure what to do?
I laughed it off
Then screamed on day two.
In my mind
It wasn’t that bad
But just a few words
Made them so fucking mad.
I stayed up for days
Crying and screaming
I hoped and prayed
That it wasn’t real and I was just dreaming
“We can still fix this”
“We can still fix this”
I was frantic
Trying not to forget this
*blocked*
I was so scared
So afraid
Unprepared
And in so much pain
Months later
Still I try
Call...
I wasn’t sure what to do?
I laughed it off
Then screamed on day two.

the Last Tree on Earth
In my world, there's one last tree
somewhere the desert
meets the sea
and I wish it could comfort me,
keep me safe like company
I'm gazing at the swaying fruit
with a tongue that's parched
and a mouth that's mute..
and all I want
is to lay near it's roots
under that blasted sky of blue
So somewhere several feet away
I'm sitting just outside it's shade
comfort there beyond my reach
unfulfilled and incomplete
hands reaching, eyes praying
hunger won't get the best of me
For this is the one...

Craving Company.
I am a woman ALONE
Living in my Semidetached home,ALONE
I feel somewhat comfortable,
Living in my own home,
ALONE.
But lately,
I've been craving company,
Watching the T.V,unwillingly,
2 feel connected with humanity.
Feeling anxious
Whenever the walls speak
So I turn the volume on the T.V up.
Louder.
Louder.
Louder.
Silence is Louder.
A glass or two or three,of red,red wine
Soothes me every time
Giving me courage
2 call my ex,who...

hope is a dangerous thing to hold
We reach out
and grasp whisps of hope
like tendrils of air
we can't hold on to
I fall apart
you fall apart
we fall apart
try and find
tangible fragments
of ourselves
shattered on the ground
You take a part of me
I take a part of you
and we're lost
holding onto pieces
that don't belong to us
while trying to make
ourselves whole
with the pieces we have left
I want to hold something real
you want to hold something real
but it feels like we're a dream
we could...
and grasp whisps of hope
like tendrils of air
we can't hold on to
I fall apart
you fall apart
we fall apart
try and find
tangible fragments
of ourselves
shattered on the ground
You take a part of me
I take a part of you
and we're lost
holding onto pieces
that don't belong to us
while trying to make
ourselves whole
with the pieces we have left
I want to hold something real
you want to hold something real
but it feels like we're a dream
we could...

Dear Brain,
Fuck off.
Now is not the time
for this self-absorbed whining
this face in the pillow languishing
these screams into the void.
There are cats to be herded
expectations to be met
rocks to be pushed up mountains
chess pieces to be moved
people to not let down
And none of that can be accomplished
from this sticky puddle of tears
and self loathing
So kindly, fuck off
with your ruminations
and sobbing bullshit
I don't want to hear
about your chemistry
your fogginess
your existential...
