You poison my mind
Keep me up at night
I toss and turn
But when I switch off that light
You still drive me crazy
Even though you aren’t here
I reach, but can't feel you
Don't smell any beer
And then I roll over
And I am lying alone
You are worlds away
But you won’t call my phone
Can’t stand my thoughts of you
Each night I slumber
But it kills you too
Because I changed my number

Aged,
riddled with sores,
confined to a wheel chair,
His head shaking uncontrollably
and drooling onto his napking,
he smiles.

All I see are people with shattered hearts,
walking around with broken backs,
pretentending to have no hearts
and no spines.

merrily
dip your tongue

tasty pain

Of all the girls I've held and kissed,
Very few I've truly missed,
Even less have held my heart,
During the times we were apart,
Rare are the ones that make me yearn,
Or make my passions truly burn,
Few are the ones that felt so right,
As we held each other through the night,
But after all is said and done,
For me there can be only one,
And of all my loves from the past,
Only one can truly last,
For, of all the girls that I once knew,
Only one I've loved like you.

03-25-10.

I’m belly-side up,

Vulnerable.

Naked, without guard.

And I hand you the blade,

To carve out my heart.

My lover asks me:
"What is the difference between me and the sky?"
The difference, my love,
Is that when you laugh,
I forget about the sky.

I am not just like my mother or father

I am just like me

I am an individual

I am all I want to be

Society defines us

By what job we tend to do

one hundred and sixty hours a week

I walk in my own shoes

I may have a waitress job

I may live in a council flat

I may not be as rich as you

But what is wrong with that?

I am me, I am many things

I am a girlfriend, I am a mother

I live life the way I choose

and I am like no other

I am a poet, a traveller

I am open minded and free

I am blessed with many friends

I am as happy as can be

The smell of coffee and black sharpie fill your senses
Dragging yourself out of bed, you wrap the sheet around your naked body
Your head hurts more with every movement, every thought.

The sticky note on the door
written in small, squished, boy-like writing
"I never promised you forever."
