When I was younger, I would wait for him to die. I loved him - at least I wished I did. He used to be my D.A.D., and acronym. Remaining in the mobile home, amid his “hidden” *** toys and unlocked arsenal- when he would return, my brother and I hid. His I.Q.? Soaring, but he lacked a soul, he killed kittens for fun and never got caught. Covert sociopath; maintaining control. Court ordered visits left my mother distraught, she wrestled the system over us for years, our knight in shining armor that always fought. The battle was won after many shed tears - to a ****** life we forged, pioneers.

Darkest Afflicting Deviant
When we live together, all will be swell, but we don’t have much time ‘til you want kids so We’ll live together, at least ‘til farewell. You’ll do the dishes ‘cause I hate the smell, I’ll do the bills ‘cause you hate math so when we live together, all will be swell. You’ll come with me for that ultrasound gel But I’d want to abort this alien so We’ll live together, at least ‘till farewell. Donate to Goodwill so we needn’t resell, We both love creatures - we’ll donate to them so When we live together, all will be swell. I’ll **** that child before it can excel but it’s been your dream to have children so We’ll live together, at least ‘til farewell. We’ll end up a story for me to retell “Once, I was in love but it didn’t work” so When we live together, all will be swell. We’ll live together, at least ‘til farewell.

At Least Till Farewell
December The month of nameless living. Darkness so thick it blinds your eyes and fills your mouth like a pillow smothering your face; like a swollen tongue so large, you can no longer breathe. The month of Pain so deep it became it’s own brand, seared deep into faded, grey flesh.

December
Gnarled, thin fingers claw at the sky; Sun rays hide shyly behind thick clouds, peeking at their leafy admirers. Perpetually rooted to the ground, the light taunts them; giving life, but damning them to immobility. There will be no air dancing for them. The only cloud they’ll taste is that which lies low, a fog miserable as a sponge. Earth’s star fades in the distance, mimicking their tragic dreams.

Fog
Rifle through the closet, find the bag of bags you’ve collected for years. The Journey’s bag, that purple bag with the cinch- it once held the shoes you wore during your first kiss. Go through the bathroom, search the cabinet for the hairspray in the black can. “Extra Firm Control”, your mom’s favorite kind. Locate that brown woven belt that you once took off to lose your virginity, curled like a snake in the bottom drawer. Put your head in the purple bag like you would *** a mourning flower. Empty the black spray can into the bag that cradles your head like your mother will. Pull the bag string so tight it burns your skin, your own special hang man’s noose. Braid the brown woven snake around your wrists and behind your back - tug so hard it almost breaks before making the handcuffs whole. Sing while you do this, let the last thing you say be a song.

The Last Moments of Your Fifteenth Year
Abandon your thoughts to keep your mind blank; bare like the walls of a dental office; clear like a polished mirror. Don’t let anything back in, even the thought of your aging mom - forget her impending mortality. Grasp you love for him because Hurt can come from even the lightest places. Ignore the world’s problems, just focus on “empty”. Keep your mind like space, let there be nothing, not even air. Make your plan now, neglect anything other than this plan. Oblivion will welcome you now, Pure Spirit. Put this plan into action quickly, before the feelings return to **** you over. Spotless. Trigger step one and fill your pistol: unload it into your brain. ****** mind now dead, white unconsciousness harbors. Xylographed onto the coffin: “Young but no longer sad”. Zen at long last.

Innocent
I scream **** like a blossom being picked, ripped from the soil, roots left behind. My family waves goodbye, weeping crimson petals and wilting their heads, ashamed of my shame. They turn their stems to me, humiliated by my deflowering. Can you smell my terror? Can you taste my anguish? As I lie here ruined, face down in the dirt, plucked then tossed near the rest of his bouquet. She loves me, she loves me not? No. I am still there, I am always there. Rocks bury themselves into my eyes, each ****** blinding me but I can still see him. I hear him moan my name as if he knows me, “Narcissus, Narcissus, you’re mine.” He lets go, flooding me with his backwards milk. We lie here. his bouquet, in Cemetery X on grave Y marked “Hope”, but there never really was hope, was there? His name was Amor.

Amor
I can hear you in the other room, your pounding heart and your pounding fist, one pounds in your chest, one pounds on your **** You think you are quiet but really, you aren’t - your heavy breathing penetrates the walls and whispers into my ears: “I’m not sorry for doing this”.

***********
I hate this world of noise and greed That grows much smaller with each day. Terror Is the dawn Of light, Solitude serves To shape the clay. I fight Though there is Nothing left, Struggle yields to Slow decay. Remember me As darkness blooms Know My heart has gone away.

Closing
Little faces Staring with empty sockets. Constantly screaming; Awaiting their destined ****
