You say “maybe,” but I say “we’ll try,”  
Through the rain, through the pain, we’ll get by.  
I see your broken pieces, and still, I stay—  
Not to fix, but to love you along the way.  

In every “what if,” I’ll hold you near,  
Not for answers, but for love to clear  
The storm you carry, the doubt you fear—  
Together, we’ll stand, no need to disappear.
My gagging reflex doesn't work
And as my tears fill the toilet bowl
I try to make myself nauseous
So that I can fill the toilet with something other than tears
They say eating disorders are caused because they want to feel like they're in control of something. I just want to see the numbers drop.
Luminous and luscious she shines.
Every day he feels closer,
to that scenic byway life,
the inspirational proposer.

Elegant, light lady, no rationed spirit she is.
Night’s sacred, silent co-worker,
for the work that lay ahead
for this proud and weary dream lurker,
Longing for his truth to be said.

Sustenance he found in the moon’s warm, insulated snow.
For she cast all his sorrows to hell,
Like the Christian story of original sin.
FOR hell, he had been, and TO hell he should go,
If not, he keeps her soft, transcendent light for him,
always in his sky, aglow.
wet
all alone
im in my bed
lights so low
and my family gone

i washed my hair
scrubbed skin for hours to remove his touch
yet he
clings
on.

but im barely hanging on
and i dont think anyone else is
sometimes i think about you

and
         i
             am
                      wet.

Everything is temporary
Starting with a moment
A memory lasts a lfetime
A lifetime is stunted
A childhood
A garden
Laughter soon forgotten
Tears are for a little while
& gone in the morning
A friendly smile
A secret whisper
Your lovers warm embrace
The darkness of night
The sweet smell of rain
Don't blink for you might miss
The temporary enjoyment
Of the sunshine on your face
Or the rivers current
A stroll among the fields
A bite of something juicy
The only love you'll ever know
So hold on loosely
All is so temporary
Treat your life with care
Stop and smell the flowers
Let them know you're there
