Like a silent bomb
you rage

War

on a love you will never own.

In  the midst of falling,

a discovery,
the exponential potential for human apathy

Sinking in the waning moon
ready to leave for ages,
I’ve been preparing for the plummet

Sabotage this emotional parachute

now your hand out
An attempt at a handout
greedy for a pardon
perpetual self preservation.

You used to be my favorite cliché
I was only one of many for you


I’m down the stairs and on the highway.

I’ll spend my whole life explaining-


Tell someone about me
Tell everyone.

I wanted to be the one you didn’t see
coming.

I lost days
Weeks
Months


Years
Learning sign language

You were sightless all along

sticky sweet molasses
your lies
drown this *** soaked heart
Anonymouse Jane Dec 2016
Tongue splayed and split,
******,
your capital punishment
muster the courage to stay before the horde,
parcel truths like foul *****
Dirt fall out like sandpaper truths
waiting for El Nino to rinse them away
Dreads form follicle dreads,
permeable and purposeful.
lock them up,
leave them alone-
Tolerating the Zeppelins last descent:
royal blue dressings
your libel
your tragic symphony.
Fathered by frenzy,
              true love is born.
              convulsing into complacency,
              it withers
do you mourn?
Chaotic clucking
limbs
slowly dismembered
tossed in
bountiful broth of bothersome beginnings
Powder your nose
chords shred
minors and majors of our failings.
Talcum powder traces
footprints to forgiveness
like foxes
like prey
Marginalia ingested
turbine breath
breathe out promises out of proportion
Drink up, shrink down
sink into sleep
we’re bathing in borrowed time.

2 months in
Im breaking down the door
to say goodbye
its all too much
screws, bolts, and screams catching in my throat
rattling handles get no response

6 months and
faults stand up-right
feeding themselves
solids and solitude

Pet names now muttered through pursed lips.

12 months
12-plus texts
12 syllable excuses

1 year 6 months
your lap warmed by another
excuses at the ready
answers never unearthed

2 years
I love you
Filtered
through im sorry

3 years
obligatory outings
ominous lulls
sheets lay undisturbed

4,5, and 6 fell
parachutes long forgotten

1 ring
deserted.
Anonymouse Jane May 2015
You speak in metaphors
   lies dribbling down your chin
Sword fight with syllables from long forgotten prose
     backwards beliefs your armor
     faux frailty your shield
Couplets carefully constructed to keep your composure.
Monosyllabic sympathies concealing your cancerous truths.

How long will your *** boil
      wretched witches brew
Silver sticky lids spill over
      a waterfall of ironies.
Anonymouse Jane May 2015
My lips,
     chapped on my birthday.
Your skin,
     a soft and subtle reminder.
An on going melody,
these reasons,
i need you most right now.

Raise your warm palms towards my face,
     let your mind unfurl.
Don't forget  the slowly drumming fingers,
    down the spine
               then slowly up the the nape of my neck.
Fix your eyes on mine.
     challenge accepted.
Match your breath with mine,
     a synonym to my melancholic melody.
Anonymouse Jane Dec 2014
I fell asleep to the sound of your screaming,
the melancholic melodies of our sinister love.
I woke shrouded in silence;
the dark room shifted and squirmed around me.
My hands groped the sheets for you
but were left wanting.

The sun comes up
and I’m still waiting.
The room now a temple of hate,
an auditorium of ludicrous lamentations

Too late for recess from the pain
too tangled in a cancerous web of thoughts
too late

-our sweet wine now vinegar.
