Waist deep in wasted efforts, and so much shame
When music has never stopped being about you
And every song quietly screams your name
Tell me just what am I to do?
Michael Humbert May 2015
What is poetry
But an outlet for liars
To express their truth
Your face which was my coffee in the morning
That voice that was my lullaby at night
Those hands that soothed my soul
Your lips that made my skin burn
Your heart that belonged to mine
Will always love you
Michael Humbert May 2015
Your genitals were in my mouth
You gasped and you groaned
Your genitals were in my mouth
Pulling my hair as you moaned

Your genitals were in my mouth
But I'll never speak to you again
I've been taught well to
Dissociate readily with a grin
Michael Humbert May 2015
My life is starting a new chapter
While nostalgia's fingers firmly grasp pages dog-eared from wear, despair
Refusing to lose their place, to let go
Stubbornly bookmarked a time pockmarked with sorrow

Oh foolish persistence!
Look ahead to new endeavor
Love's too clever to predict
Michael Humbert May 2015
Your love letters forgot your scent with time
Dried ink, bereft of your essence
But as sure as these pages will yellow and curl
I will remember your enveloping perfume
I will remember your delicate fragrance
Deliberate, devastating
And I will remember everything you meant
