I turn my heart to stone
the stone tears through the paper heart
you will never cover me
so now we must be apart
I wrote this after reading a poem of the same title by Rosha.

She loves to say goodbye
She tells me all the time
No need to remind
She loves to say goodbye

I have never met her friends
Though I've asked time and time again
I may not be around when
She finally does give in

Not sure about her Mom and Dad
Hasn't introduced me yet
If I had to place a bet
Don't know if I should cry or laugh

We met on the side of the road
With her thumb in overload
I said where, she said just go
Maybe then I should have known

That she loves to say goodbye
Cause she tells me all the time
Guess there's no need to remind
That she loves to say goodbye
"Between the Judicial, Legislative and Executive branches
as well as the DMV , DOD, and our failing Public Schools,
it's a ******* wonder I abide by the Government at all."

Hand me another gift sweetheat
How sincere
I adore the idea of materializing our love
Or is it even love
Or lust
Or anything but lonliness
Because I don't like cold sheets
& neither do you
But I think we both know
The sheets are always cold
Cold with the thought
That maybe it's not the sheets
It's us*

The grey sludge on the sides of the roads
Has really been there
Since the heat of July
But only recently did my focus shift
From the glistening white
Of our summer snow

Maybe I just need another
Attitude adjustment-
Let's go have a snowball fight;
The seasons don't seem to be changing
Any time soon

it's that sinking feeling,
you know the one-
like getting water in your ears
or wearing wet socks in dry shoes.
Like when a person takes too long to reply to your
"I love you"
or simply never replies at all.
I'm sure you've felt it,
the feeling you get
as you wait for the police officer to return
with your license and registration.
Five minutes seems like five days.
Maybe you'll get off with a warning.
