My mind is cavernous. There's enough
    room for madness and love and petty
    slights and high school crushes I
    thought I'd die without. Nooks and
    crannies where insecurity thrives
    are everywhere. Bats are in vast
    belfries. My giant eye that stares
    me down each night sits where it
    pleases. Old lovers swing from
    drafty eaves flipping me their
    birds. My heart bleeds into a pool
    where all my mistakes feed endless.
    Guilt has its own penthouse suite.
    I dream among the attic's memories.
You played my love
like the sweetest violin
the music so sweet to me
I couldn’t see the begin
I was soaked in gin
I couldn’t see the
begin
the begin
forgive me
I couldn’t see the begin.

I still think of you.
My heart still aches for you
as it waits to be with you again.
Until then, I must keep you in my thoughts
and in my heart with all my love.
Walk lovingly into the crevices of your unpleasant memories so that the bitterness of the past might be replaced with the sweetness of the present.
Let our thoughts at least be kind to us.

Some things are best left un-addressed

in the confessional.

It is time for you to let it go.
Only you can be the one to erase,
to rise above and to move on.
Fill your garden with new seeds
and learn to love
what will blossom.

I appear to have misplaced my future
I knew where it was until recently
But now
I can't find it anywhere
