Sometimes with the Heart
Seldom with the Soul
Scarcer once with the Might
Few—love at all.

"Well, you could always make it such a mess that you can't possibly fix things you know? Blow up the bridge, don't just burn it"*

I am learning I'm more like a Class 1 Explosive than a girl
Except no one ever stops to wonder,
does the bomb know when it's about to go off?
Or is it completely unaware of its own fate?

(I think the later).

Where am I supposed to go when I feel like
turning every thought I have into pink moscato puke?

When I take four too many hits
so someone else's lips can start to feel like yours?

How am I so easily fooled by good intentions,
by squinted smile eyes, by my own ******* desire to be loved
by someone who isn't a coward?

Having a bible verse tattooed on your ribs
doesn't mean you're a good person,

Its just means you have something to prove.
It really is finished.

Bukowski gets me
ham on rye with a little bit
of wanting to be nothing
cheap wine in a trashed hotel
a permanent spell on my
self control
all this time I thought I loved me
but I'm sinking
everything I write is a repeat
**** my novel dreams
**** my poetic schemes
I think it's time to sleep
for about five years
so I can wake up with no fears
and disappear
like each season

Around a crowd I feel every heart stroke
Discomfort is the reality
Invisibility creates a cloak
Corrupt thoughts lead to fatality

No one seems to notice I have a heart
Drifting through cities not even a glance
Searching the world for my counterpart
Waiting for the day I can get a chance

I latch on to attention like a chain
I stand in a group yet I feel alone
I hope no one else ever feels this pain
I hope its your name when I check my phone

One day I will find the one who is right
And then I would no longer need to roam
From that point on forever holding tight
Maybe then I could finally have a home
