F/Boston I'm an artist, not a poet. Maybe someday I can be both.
Round jiggling loads of goo Bouncing as I take a step or two Bulging, bloated stomach ache From brownies, cookies, pie, and cake Buttons pop at every move I can barely try to get my groove Clothing cuts my circulation Too many trips to the carving station I’m feeling like I’m about to burst So I better try to sit down first My thighs, they rub and start to chafe With desserts around I am not safe My bra -it cuts into my back I’m going to have to  free this rack When  I look down and see cellulite God save me from yet another bite I’m eating up my aches and pains Yes -sugar, flour, and whole grains I’m filling holes of grief and loss As long as it’s covered with caramel sauce.

Eat me up
I search for you most everywhere in my memories - but they aren’t clear   I look through the tangled strands of my hair And even in the cigarette smoke in the air I look inside my heart that’s bled I look between the words you said I look in my bed and underneath the covers I look past the lies you told as my lover I look for you in rapture, I look for you in grace I even try to find you in my underwear of lace I thought you may be lurking beneath my heavy sighs I swore I saw you swimming in the tear drops from my eyes I look for you in my lip stain- blood red and midnight blue I look for you on notepads of sketches that I drew I look for you in ink spills on paragraphs of prose I search for you in my paintings under hues of amber and rose I look for you by candle light in starry nights of black I look for you in eloquence dripping down with wax I don’t think I will find you for I haven’t got a clue I think you may be hiding, it’s something that you’d do. I know if I keep looking and remain under your spell I will finally join you as I’ll  lose myself as well

Searching
You know the way she walks through the door like she owns the place and a whole lot more She whisks by your desk with barely a "hi" but all that changes when she sees a guy With a giggle  and a toss of her hair You'd  think she just saw a billionaire As she barely grunts a hello to you "Oooooh there's the gal with the Jimmy Choo" Her charms and wiles they seem to work She's the favored child but is such a **** She's phony and stuck up and gets paid a lot And does she work? I think not!

The Favorite
I did not fall in love with you So don't run around and claim that's true It's not your eyes- it's not your smile It's certainly not your cool guy style It's not the ways that we had fun You truly could have been anyone I'm more in love with love I'd say You weren't that nice to me anyway All I loved was the feeling I felt Which made my heart so quickly melt It's nothing that you did or said So get that thought right out of your head Now don't  start thinking you're so great because you really weren't that good of a date I have more bad to say than I do good And if I could take it all back I think I would So next time you might think of me Remember it was just the chemistry- The dopamine and chasing the high You could've been just any old guy

It wasn't you
Have a cup of anxiety It will go down well with your vanity And sip it down your narcissistic throat All the way down to your stomach bloat Eat the food for your hungry belly Watch your legs turn to strawberry jelly Your obsessive thoughts come out your ears As you quickly chew down all your fears Crybaby tears and acidic words Make swallowing all the more absurd Your mascara smudged eyes watch your tunnel vision Your brain candy makes a banana split- personality decision It's a nightmare you can barely control But if you don't pay attention it will eat you whole So swallow down all your crazy mad panics Along with your trusty reliable xanax

Food for the thoughtless
Swim in the sorrow of my sea of tears Dance to the beat of my heartfelt fears Dive in the deep of my mournful eyes Hold and embrace every last of my sighs Plant me in your heart and nurture me there Tie me to your soul with the strands of my hair Feed on me and my endless desire Drink the warmth of my burning fire Plant me an eden inside of my head Sculpt me into the folds of your bed Wrap your arms around my hot **** breath Love me forever until life becomes death

Move me
My heart still lunges down below I scream for it to let me go When I think of what we never had You were hot then cold, it was quite mad And all I can do  now is mourn a ghost Whose icy hands reached down my throat You cut me off before you ever let me in And to think  I would have commited your sin I tried to save your soul, preserve your mind And leave all that ***** space behind To bring you back to my world and embrace you in my tiny pearl But all I have left is what I always ever had nothing - just space , so gut wrenching sad

Empty Space
You wrapped me up in crazy And  stayed for quite a while You tucked me into bedlam And I slept on your beguile The comfort was in knowing that Your thoughts they made no sense And I could not tell if we were present or past tense It was a sleepy fantasy where it really didn't matter If your thoughts transmitted energy Or your brainwaves were ashatter The chemistry I felt for you Was such a mad desire We could have burned out together In an everlasting fire As I curled around your sanity And flirted with your brain   For a while I was so happy In the nightmare called insane

Bedroom guise
I'm the one that had to fall because you played the cold guy  after all You gazed at me with your hazel eyes if only I had heard the cries Your outward smile, your artistic tact Why didn't I see the  shell had cracked? Your truth began to slowly seep  in It winked at me with such a big grin You thought I could see with my third eye but I only saw your shattered self and I sighed The energy you began to emit Made my heart sink and  just want to quit I can no longer skate on this glass path I can only fall hard as the feelings of wrath Overcome my heart and my sensitive skin Oh lord why can't I ever win?
