silence

i've been told i have been silent recently
but maybe they just don't hear me
am i whispering?
i feel like im screaming from the depths of my soul
so why can't they hear me?
if your eyes wander long enough
you'll see the pain
if you're listening
you'll hear the long-held breath i let out
when i finally get the release
of detaching
and realising
what helps
me

Dancing with detachment,
I watch the still planes below as I leave.
For just as I can't help the type of blood
that runs over my bones,
I have inherited my mothers cold feet.

Dancing with detachment,
As I wrap my arms around my grandmother
I feel her stiff shoulders shift,
see her skin as too big of bracelets around her wrists,
and wonder where her time went.

Dancing with detachment,
I'm standing in the front yard of my old house,
in the space where I accidentally grew up.
I go inside to climb the staircase that
spills into my parents empty bedroom.
And just as Win Butler once said,
I wonder what ever happened to them.

ground zero
i become aware of boundaries
i am a dog chasing cars
i sing your voicemail to sleep
there are no surgeon general warnings
to tell me that
the objects in the mirror
are more depressed than they appear
so how do i tell you
that there are parts of my life
that move slower
without you in them?
or that i look for you every day
in emails & unanswered calls
in the sunrises
i didn't choose to be awake to watch
that i sometimes still stare at doorways hoping you would walk through them
   *stage 1
you tell your new lover you've got a splinter and they pull the sound of your body falling asleep on mine out of your fingertip
   stage 2 your new lover says something at dinner that makes you choke so they call 911 & the paramedics do the hymleich not knowing you would ***** our promises all over the the restaurant
   stage 3 your new lover surprises you by cleaning the house & washes the shirt you kept next to the bed, not knowing it was the last thing you had that smelled like me
after
people always ask
what was loving her like?
after a really long silence
i just say
"it must be nice"
but i never say
it's watching paint dry
i never say
it's a window seat in hell
i don't tell anyone
about the dreams
where i am reading you
bedtime stories
each one is a different way you die
& every time i can never save you
dreams where what i think
are angels in my bedroom
are just homeless versions
of myself you never loved
i have dreams
where i pay someone to shoot me
just to see if you would cry
just to see
if you would cradle my body
i don't tell people
that loving you is like
playing piano
for someone who can't hear
that it's hitting repeat
on my favorite song
& forgetting the words
every time it starts over
that it's finding out
there's no milk after you already
poured yourself a bowl of cereal
it's getting locked in the dark
& being told to
look on the bright side
that loving you is like
being reminded of what it felt like
the first time
you accidentally let go
of a balloon as a child
it's drowning without the water
it's the feeling you get
when you start to dance
& the song ends

what's it like to forgive and forget
you seem to do that often

it's all talk
never fulfilled promises
lousy and poorly at best

I start to hate every tuesday and wednesday
I hope thrusday and friday last a little longer too

I hide out in my room
I get the feeling
I don't belong in your life anymore

pushing me out
slowly
replaced and I start to feel lonely

time to grow up
think this is the end of the line

I already miss you
standing next to you

there's no way to prepare myself
to let you go

Maybe I will never understand
how you took control this heart.
Was it sorcery or something sinister?
No, I suspect it had something to do with
the sweetness of your soul or
your beauty that leave
even the nymphs
in awe.

You are the sun to my moon
You are the day to my noon
You bring out this side of me
That is away and never beside me
I start to see you rise
I start to bring you light
Why if we are so perfect
We live on opposite sides?
You’re the west to my east
Fall to my rise
I wish I had more than the twilight lights
To hold you in my arms all night.
See the twinkling stars in a gaze
Leave you with much more than the chase
Of after morning glory
Wish we forever stayed
In a state of smiling haze.
you knew what I didn't

He got me so erotically enthralled
By his delicious and lushalicious prodigiousness
His smooth moves, the way he slithers
On the fragrant seamless bedroom floor to me
Hunky sumptuous lover boy

I can feel his vibe
His moist and robust construction
Ridiculously rude and groovy hoodness
He spins my gayness in powerful rapid rotation
Make my blood rush with his seductiveness

When he licks his hot, saucy lips
Gives me an amorous look
Has me so hooked on his
Unconquerably strong **** game
Break me down, drill through my creamy silken tightness

Astound me, pound me, work my hole ferociously
Manhandle me roughly
Hold my crash-hot docking station
Firm earthy Daddy
Let me feel his intense supreme thunder

Listen to his desirously striking
And spellbinding slang
How his glistening tattooed attraction
Brings me closer to his magically
Staggering palace of rare indefatigable mantasticness

Make me concede to his glorious horse-hung gun
Feel my body convulse
The more he serves me his firmness
Slick, muscular, and thugalicious
Vicious, manlicious, and sickalicious

I love how your hard-polished ****
Enters in and out of my exquisite, enchanting softness
Make me loose as ****
Make me all creamy inside
Lost in his hard-hitting hurricane
Of insanely wild and virile game

Stuff me full of his lovingness
Make me disoriented
As he flows further within me
Bend me over, show the complex
Compelling rhythm of his steady, strong smoke

**** me so violently that I cry out his name
Cause my head to spin around in circles
Lose myself in his wide-ranging flaming delight
Make me move aimlessly in and of reality
With his massiveness buried
In the deepest part of me

Make me sizzle and scream
Make me lovesick as ****
How he thrusts his torturously
Extraordinary hardness in my bright bewitchable box
Explore my source of fiery heat
While I become tongue-tied

Extra sexually aroused
With how he pushes his burgeoning
Badass tumescence in my boy *****
As I stare back at him
Wild with wicked excitement

He smacks my proud, pinchable end zone
Gets stupid freaky and litty with my ****
His palms placed on my lower back
I can feel his splashy action-packed power
How deviously defiant he is with me

He holds both of my hands
Makes me tremble in the presence
Of his radiant exhilarating manfulness
Takes me on a long and adventurous trip
As he slyly smiles and spouts out
A wondrous *** of thick, frothy, and salty sauce
