She spies shy eyes inside,
trying to belie the lies cast aside
by the nine-mile-high night sky
which shines prying white light
right upon her sighing mind.

The silence of losing you
Is deafening.

Burn* my words on paper.
Turn my thoughts to ash.

It takes two to tango
or so they say,
but it only takes me
to Tanqueray.

Baby I hope you can run
faster than your mascara,

because a little sobbing
won't stop me now.

The weight of these words
rolling around in my head
are breaking my neck
one thought at a time.

You tell me it doesn't have to be this way
I can have it any way
And I say, if I can have it my way then so can you
If we both want it two different ways, what will we do?

I love you deeper than physical
Your skin is beautiful but all in all, it doesn't really matter what you look like
I love you [your soul]
and I'm grateful you love me back
Your body isn't you, you are the soul. Never forget.

Intrusive and rude, though
I'll always turn to you.

Even though you're
not even there;
I'll always pour,
yet never compare.

Shoot me through to pluto,
so that I may turn blue.

While I silently strangle,
and suffocate for you.

Twizzlers
Clenched in a man's hand
Is it a sign of nervousness?

The gooey red dye 40
Oozes into his hands
Was it just being nice?

Never being eaten
Never being enjoyed
Only being clenched
Melted
Destroyed

The twizzlers match his red shoes
Is it a fashion statement?
Or is it just to please the giver?

The twizzlers could be a sign
Why is he suffocating them?
Is it an omen?
Or merely a coincidence
Wrote this on a plane. Good times.

Try and try to
read between the lines
only to find
emptiness.
