Don’t even think you’re getting out of here alive. . Well, nobody does so we should seek pleasure. . What’s living without the intoxicating grip of lust? . A wellspring of despair. . Spilt me open with your tongue. . I’m trauma. Wrapped in Ivory lace with a citrus twist . Enter into this new realm Of endless possibilities And sufferings. . A wellspring of delight.

Wellspring of despair
You’re chipper, he said. I had the urge to hurt his face or his ***** or his pride. But instead I chipperly replied YEP!

Chipper
Today is the day we tell the children. It’s been a long time coming, We’ve spent a long time going. And yet, it’s shredding my heart To look in their eyes, The same blue as mine, yours and watch the truth slice through.

Blue truth
If only you would’ve read my writing, Perhaps you could’ve seen The emptiness inside of me. But you didn’t care enough to look Closely. Should’ve would’ve could’ve Didn’t

I need a support system, To help me hold myself together. The fibers of my being are breaking apart And the children don’t know the truth yet Impending doom upon our doorstep Looming.

Impending doom
I need you Like road rash on my chest From skidding across pavement. I need you The same way I need another tattoo, Etched into me. Acridity.

Acridity
Walking alone On the First cool morning of the season, It’s bright and clear And I notice, for the first time In a long time That I can feel the Sun on my face. Somehow I’d forgotten My love for these beautiful mountains so blue Behind The hill that’s been blocking my view. A dump site for resentment and sadness. Now that I’m Observing the world again instead of ruminating This is my future, My home. My view.

Hill blocks view
Loneliness The primary emotion I’m feeling these days Enveloped in beauty, Love, Gratitude Revered And yet… Those Unmet needs, They Fester. Emptiness swells Filling The void between us Disconnectedness Persists

Disconnectedness
You and I cannot be friends And yet, Here we go again. Staying up until two Breathing into the phone. Tiptoeing around a full blown affair Enchanted by the soft, hazy glow of the night sky. The tree frog’s chorus. The tug of Loneliness on our hearts Choosing Adventure over dying on the vine. Lying and gazing, Laughter and lazing, Slippery fingers and broken pieces Delicious tension. You stay in your bed, your life And I lie in mine. You and I cannot be friends.

You and I cannot be friends
What’s your damage? She asked of me Tilting her head to the side And Squinting inquisitively I picked at my chipping nail polish And stared down at my boots. Hugging my knees into my chest, I Held onto myself tightly The fire in my belly sizzled up my welling tears And flipped my sadness into rage As I Flew around the room Like a trapped bird Hurling obscenities And upturning chairs Just For Sitting there, looking stupid. Empty.
