She doesn't want to hide behind
That screen of lies.
She doesn't want to have to this time.

She doesn't want to change your mind;
You're gone, she's fine.
She doesn't want to go back this time.

And, no, She doesn't want to hold your hand
You're cold, *******.
She doesn't want to say this again.

She doesn't want to accept she's ******
Will she if she can?
She doesn't want to lose it over a man.

She's got pride
It's hard to hide
But you're wise
Know her disguise
Changed her mind
Called her "mine"
Now she'll cry
Because of lies
But you're blind
You don't mind

But, no, She doesn't want to hide behind
That screen of lies.
She doesn't want to have to this time.

And She doesn't want to hold your hand.
You're cold, *******.

*She doesn't want to go back this time.
A poem about a toxic relationship.
Begin here
The forbidden hope of the poor,
The firmament under shimmery
Skies sailing dreams on the moons
Glass light.
Begin now,
What dreams may come
I become many things,
I am the man who loves,
However I am also the man
That hurts from the same source.
And I can't help being all the things
A heart desires,
Two hopes on my chest
And soon I am the world
With my solar ways and my
Lunar thoughts,
Moonlighting on the precipice
Of the promised,
The fugitive love that conquered
The momentum,
I proclaimed myself the undefeated,
And I,
Here and now
Become a bird
With a song of  flight
And all the treetops
Like a sea of greenery.....
Listen, my wings flapping,
I alone will dream and conquer,
The infinite hope inside
That yearns for my humanity,
And that makes me king,
For hope is the glory of all men.
some kind of alchemy
transmuted these old, rotting
organs into wrought-iron
my heart is a machine
that's been skipping beats
for too long
I beat it into place
try to lift the weight
off my ribcage
and now I sit down to
write it out
but this time in first person
I've been cracking my knuckles
with newfound feeling
like I've been sleeping
for too long
Dear Roaches,

   Please stay out of my coffee mug
In the mornings, I'll leave you bread crumbs
Or whatever it is you eat on the floor
When I make my sandwiches in the morn.
     ( I'm sure we can come to some
Sort of agreement)
   And perhaps I will forget to wash a dish
Or two and leave it out with just enough
To taste and delight yourselves in.
    But if I find you in my mug
Or my coffee machine, I will break
Out the Raid and other chemical
Weapons at my disposal, and sure I know
You will procreate faster than I can
Buy poison so let's make some kind
Of deal?
    Though it may not be a banquet,
I'm sure I can leave the occasional mess,
    So how bout it?

        Your housemate,
         Dedpoet
