Cold Bed, Lonely Heart
As I lay here, nearly naked in bed, alone,
I wonder if you’re thinking of me;
About the smooth skin along my side,
And the bumps of the spine down my back.
As I lay here, alone and full of desire,
I wonder if you’re as cold and lonely as me,
Alone in bed, longing to hold me,
To touch my skin [...]

I Promise
I wish I could make you promise
That we’ll be best friends forever.
I wish I could make you promise
That you’ll put these butterflies in my stomach
Every day
For the rest of my life.
I wish I could make you promise
To tell me the truth every single time
Even though I already know you don’t ever lie.
I wish I could [...]

secrets make friends
My internal strength weakens with each interaction.
It’s time to sink or time to swim.
I’ll tie an anchor to your waist,
If only to ensure my own salvation.
So many words held back, so long,
They’re Exposed now
with each salty drop of pouring tear.
They scream of wonder and amazement
At your presence being so disengaged.
Those images I had of unconditionality,
(Friendship [...]

Eternal Plague
This band of everlasting influence,
that i leave, untouched, over my own head,
hovering like a halo, held up by demonic horns
Is screaming out from the depths of my heart.
The loop’s transient keeper knows nothing of it’s power,
But he holds knowledge of its monetary value.
It’s price is unbelievably underestimated,
For it holds so much sway over my emotions.
Symbolism [...]

memories
I saw your face today.
In the mirror,
Next to mine.
Beaming smile next to that damn dimple of yours.
A tear rolled down my cheek.
Today I knew,
I missed you.
I realized I will always miss you.
I wasn’t enough for you.
I said,
I cried,
I was so easily replaced and I knew why.
you were taken for granted.
sweet smiles,
and fragrant flowers.
i didn’t know [...]

I’m handing out the pieces
of my shattered heart.
I placed the largest chunk in your palm
You tossed it to the ground,
Looked me in the face, through my teary eyes
Turned your back and walked
Away.
You’ve never looked back,
Keep walking your path to salvation.
I watch you dazzle the crowds
With your friendly chatter and salesman smile.
We cross roads, I grin,
you [...]

Put You in Your Place
standing in the same place i’ve been before,
I know a thing or two about this thing.
Label me, “the other girl”
“the half-assed attempt”
“the used”
but I’ve got the upperhand this time.
I know that you don’t know I know.
But I’ve heard about her,
about you,
about your cheatin ways.
You’re in for a surprise.
I’m contemplating the best way to manipulate
and blow [...]

I heave a sigh
And my eyes ache from a need to shed.
But a heavy chest prevents the tears.
A cut-off phone call leads me to anger
and to a quick drunken drive home.
But I don’t sleep, I smoke.
Weed, Chronic, Ganja, Pot
and I talk on the phone to a new boy.
But I feel no relief.
I resist temptation to [...]

I sleep better in your arms
than I do wrapped up in blankets in my own bed.
I’d rather pass out, drooling on your pillowcase
than in the comfort of my own home.
Sleeping in until afternoon,
waking up to the sound of your voice,
with your laugh just seconds away,
is a slice of heaven.
But
I’m already old news to you;
Last week’s [...]

Trailing Infatuation
The rhythm in my chest
stops
While the blood chases
Like it’s playin’ cops and robbers with my nerves.
Neither catches the other
And the rushing sensation continues
Until I veer to the side of the road,
Breathless.
As your fingertips graze the skin of my hips
I’m sidelined by an hunger for more
Unconsciously arching my back
Pushing you closer.
Then you jump into gear,
The chase [...]
