People Do What They Want

"I can't live with
or without you."
Well then,
all things being equal,
why wouldn't you pick
saving us
over ending us?

How Long Gone?

And the wind is yelling
through the absent leaves
and like a child
I am afraid
and you are not here.

Silver Mirror, and Brush

Could you find me
if I were hidden in plain sight
unscented and delivered
on a platter you guilded in silver
that my hands went numb
polishing for you?

Again

The apologies dissolve
as the crumbling blocks
disintegrate in whole
equating into nothing
but my cracking heart.

Coffee, Whiskey, and ****

When the world
falls apart around you
remember breakfast
is the most important meal.

Hyperbole

Here I was,
writing
the beauty of you
the beauty of us.

The unwritten holocaust
redacting facts
written in
my mind
written on
my heart.

As the Record Weeps

And
suddenly
the
music
stops.
