it's kinda like
walking down the
sidewalk with
you
and having you
decide to
shove
me
out into a
busy street
and telling me to
think
fast.
those **** elephants.

I always stumble out your door
hungover.
every time you look at me
I take a sip.
every time you smile
I down a shot.
you laugh
and another bottle is gone.
you lean your head on my shoulder
and everything is blurry.
you hug me
and I'm unconscious.
then when it's that time,
you wake me up
and say goodbye
and push me out into the
glaring sunlight
without even a drink
of water.

as I lay here
staring up at the
blue sky
I realize she should be
quite proud
for she has
leaked
that crystalline pigment
right into your
irises

you of all people know
that when the sun rises
the words aren't nearly
as liquid as before.

you see through me
as if I were made of
glass.
I do suppose I am,
for I keep
shattering.
though I do wish
you would stop trying
to piece me back
together.
I don't need any more
fingerprints
weighing down my
heavy heart.
you see, I'm trying to
rid myself of those
pieces that don't
fit.
so please leave me
with my missing parts.
it's not your responsibility
to slice yourself
while attempting to spare
my blood.

I sat beside you today.
I found it ironic
how we were both dressed
in our Sunday best.
when you looked my way,
I knew you didn't
want me there.
you blamed me.
although you promised
it was never me.
I am aware that the fault
is no longer mine.
it supposedly never was.
I've always been innocent,
according to you.
but when those tragic
blue eyes
met mine...
the world's blame was suddenly
heavy on my shoulders
and i didn't try
to stop it from
crushing
me.

once you abandoned
the passenger seat
of my car
for the rainy
street,
I knew our
renewed life
would only last
as long as
those flowers.
now there's
red and yellow
petals
resting on my
windowsill.
and ****
I wish you
would've stayed
with me
longer
that day.

in a daydream
i imagine a dramatic
romanticized reuniting.
a story book embrace
with obnoxious smiles
and joyful greetings.
but under expected circumstances
i know it will
be nothing more
than eyes meeting
with a knowing smile
and a quiet
"hello,
it's so lovely to see
you again."

you embraced my right side
your body flush against mine
shoulders down to ankles.
your arm clutched my shoulders
mine grasped your waist.
while my right remained
warm, loved, safe, whole
my left side was abandoned
icy, brittle, empty, broken.
now your presence has been gone
for a significant amount of time.
my right is perfectly fine.
my left is still aching for you.

there were five men
who had a permanent residence
within her bulging heart.
Jay Gatsby, the tragically hopeful
Peter Pan, the child who never grew up
a fellow from Montana
a five-year-old angel
and a blond-hair blue-eyed boy.
none of them solely loved
her.
none of them stayed with her
either.
yet she constantly ached for their
presence
and she always fiercely loved
each.
until the boy tore her heart into
pieces
and the only thing she could love
were her attempts to make her pain some sort of
beautiful.
