"But I lost myself, when I lost you.
I lost myself, and I lost you too."

Despite the fact that I think about your presence
constantly
you're a ghost.
All I have are the memories.

Every night before the sun sets I write myself a letter to you.
Addressing the person I think I know.
Letting him know that love is possible despite the burns ingrained on our skin.
Every night after the sun sets I write myself a letter to you.
Addressing the person I have come to know.
The one that breaks the skin I thought was elastic enough to hold all pain.
Every night I fight myself.
Begging to move on.
Telling myself that the cracks in my skins are battles that have been won.
Feeding into the ******** the world feeds my hungry soul.
Instead, I know.
That somewhere out there you're living a life--
full of cracks that have nothing to do with me.
And in the deepest and most honest part of my soul,
I know that this is the most ****** up of all.

You're looking for love
but I'm right here?
I promised you I'd share my world
so why aren't you here?
I want to feel your hands
wrapped around my face
curling around the edge
of the stubble you hate.
But instead you're gone.
And your hands long to be
on another face.
Looking for the love
I was so eager to give.

Nothing worse
than looking at the one you love-
only to realize,
they do not look back.
Instead
you find the paint on the wall
is a different color--
no longer matching the black
they once engrained.

"That there
That's not me
I go
Where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here."

A drowsy mind
furthers a crack in the pavement.
The hope of a static day
is suffocated by his breath.
He then carries
the torpid body,
across the bridge.

When you fall in love,
they never tell you how it's going to end
but instead,
they tell you about the endlessness
of the possibility living with azaleas.
********
I only find clamor in a sea of open water.

There's nothing worse
than feeling transparent
In a world
that stigmatizes
the thoughts
that radiate from the dark.

The Elephant went out for a trot
but instead retreated to its home.
The signs existed everywhere
but the paint tainted dark black.
The Elephant was told to be itself
however gullibility was on the prowl.
The mind powered through a no--
forbidden nature prevailed.
the elephant fell silence to its hope
although
the fire roared anyway.
Weakness bites at our knees.
