Sorry to bother you
but I just have to say,
you bear a striking resemblance
to someone I knew once...

Were you there?

Were you there?
Probably not, but I confess

that it's refreshing to see
such familiar eyes on a strange face.
I'd drink it all in
if it wasn't probably laced.

Give it time.

I'll build up an immunity,
maybe even an affinity.
I'll drink your poison,
convince myself it's medicine,

If I could only get a proper dose.
A spontaneous poem I threw together off the top of my head.

Trying to work on not thinking so much about what I write and just tapping into the stream of consciousness.

hell is a place where
you constantly love those that
do not love you back.

He turns on my favorite movie.
I always watch it alone.
He doesn't like to see me cry.
I am not allowed to cry.
We're comfortable just staying home.
He is embarrased of me.
I love him.
*He knows
When you're not here to keep me warm
I'm always cold
I can't get warm
Without your touch
The feel of your arms around me
It's impossible
Impossible for me to get warm without you

You bring all the warmth and goodness to my life

I need you here
I've gotten so cold
Fill me with your warmth
You're the only thing that works

i wonder if you can see
     a single beauty in me
  just like I see the whole universe
           in you.

Sometimes it ends in fire

Sometimes it ends in ice

Sometimes it ends in falling

Sometimes it ends in sleeping

Sometimes it just ends suddenly

Sometimes it ends on time

*Sometimes it just end-
Inspired by a poem I heard a few weeks ago.

you say you’re not a poet but
with a girl like that,
how could you speak
anything less than
the stars?

He couldn't leave the past in the past
For other women broke his heart.  
He said he could never love again.  
He couldn't love me for what they did.  
I am not her and I am not them
But for what they did
I suffer the consequences
Of a broken man.
A love that will never be returned.

Some days I wish
I could bury you.
Other days I wish
I could share your grave
