You'll use the excuse
That tastes like apple
And burns like poison
To justify your lust
And your desire to hurt
But drunk actions
Are honest thoughts
And you have never been more
Truthful
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Maturity is weird
And so are you*

You're at the bottom of this bottle
I think I'll find you when it's empty
And if you're not there hiding
I'll toss back another and another
Until you're sitting down there for me, waiting
Amara Pendergraft 2013
for my wife*


i.

it's old. this
what have I done, this
dark ship. the crates
steadfast
in their charge
of silence, the ice
bored
and breaking.
we move
in our cabin
bed

shift
our bellies
to stay
the compass
of hurt.

ii.

our new baby
we honor
like a bruise, a slack

blue
puppet
hangs itself

impossibly…

iii.

I say I’m sorry
in three stories
I envision
as three orphans
of wiser
men.

your shoulders remain small.

iv.

…too small
for what
reaches down
to shrug them
The rain pours, and beats the ground,
like when our feet beat the concrete,
and we stumble around,
without a sense of guidance,
the sirens in the distance alert,
and break the calm night silence,  

we had nowhere to be,
but we found a place,
an overgrown garden to write poems,
and appreciate the candles warm embrace,
and the moon's glow,

watch the city life below, from the roof top sights,
while the intoxicated stagger,
under the street lights,
where's the message in the bottle they were looking for?
to show them a way,
"oh well, we'll try again tomorrow night"
out front the liquor store,
on a rainy Sunday,

We are so incompatible
You are so incompetent
Don't hear a thing you've been saying
Nothing on this green Earth is permanent
So you're words are falling on deaf ears
And my mouth, well my mouth is dumb
All these years and my ever present fears
Dull my senses of everything that's fun

Never, never
No, it could never be
Ever, ever
Why is it you can't see?
Are you that blind?
Or you just a wishful thinker?

Over these times
And under these flames
Words that rhyme
And all that impending fame
Don't ever get me up
And never bring me down
When I spill my cup
I don't ever usually frown
I just ask for another

I wake up at the twilight
and sleep at the dawn
Time has ceased to mean anything to me at all
A new day comes and off it goes
Like the waves fill and empty the shore
ohh, but I am waiting for the day when it'll be all over


I have not given up,but i give in
I have not died yet,but i forbade myself to live.
I don't allow my mind to wander to the things of past and future
MY HEART IS LONG DEAD,NOW IT JUST PUMPS THE BLOOD ;)


I am the kind of mystery you'll regret to solve
(i am the mystery you'll never be able to solve)
THE CLOSER YOU TRY TO COME,THE MORE YOU'LL FIND THE DISTANCE IN BETWEEN


So.heed my warning.GO AWAY.
Why waste you time over a LIVING CORPSE,A HOPELESS CASE!
