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 [...]

Lost Soul
Ghost reflection stares you in the eyes,
Says nothing, means nothing, prophesies nothing.
It looks back as a mirror of youth,
Innocence, mistakes and lies.
In it’s hot pink strapless bra and lacy panties,
It’s a reminder of all that it can no longer be.
A reminder that it knows better now,
But longs to forget the lesson.
Tossing and turning in its [...]

Instead, I Merely Exist
There are no more tears.
There are no more screams.
There are no more smiles.
Giggles.
Lies.
Cuts or bruises.
There are no more words.
I’ve lost everything I ever thought I had.
The love, the fears, the anger is gone.
It dissolved into the sweat and ran off my body with the rain.
And now I’m numb.
The nausea has overcome me,
I lay in my [...]

the happiness
I wish I could write a poem,
One with daisies and bunnies and butterflies.
A poem that made you smile, maybe giggle,
That made you glow with warmth and love.
I don’t rhyme with words like innocence
And my characters don’t fly or laugh.
All they hear are sadness and anger,
all they hear are tears and screams.

i, you, us.
alone.
exemplified by the overwhelming feeling of loneliness.
drowned out by false impressions of happiness.
sweet drugs of sugar and salt,
the guilty pleasure in family and home,
with a hint of contempt for life.
alone, but always together.
the twinge of pain that encompasses this cloud of suffering
silenced by pages and pages of children’s novels
thumbed over by so many before me.

Sad Truth
Everything I feel for you has evolved into a rotting, stiff coal.
The weight of this love grew too impossible for my withering back.
When I held it alone, hoping you’d rescue my ailments, you disappeared.
You’ve lied through your teeth, the empty truth lies in your soul.
The lion in your heart contemplating the best strategy to attack.
I [...]

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 [...]

Your presence invokes a growing flame.
I grow silent, focus on my anger
and Silently detest you.
I want to yell and kick,
Maybe even backhand you.
Because, you know something?
I’M YOUR FAMILY TOO!
I was family first, in blood, in life, in love.
And now I’ve been neglected, forgotten, and lost.
Love your ‘Steps,’
Forget your past,
I guess I never was that great [...]

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 [...]

lingering, always lingering
as if it’s all waiting to hover above it’s appropriate place,
only to drop
right where it belongs.
you, always you.
and sometimes, I get the feeling that you’ve changed,
only to remember
you’ll always be this way.
I’m not disappointed.
In fact, it’s nice to know,
that I have that comfort-
you’ll never change, you’ll always be this way.
And everything falls into [...]
