I was never afraid of losing you
because I never had you in the first place
because you are not to be had
because you are to be felt with

I was afraid of losing what I felt with you
because what I felt was so sublime
but somehow we lost our selves
somewhere along the way
our selves were no longer our own

and so we had each other
we had each other good
but we lost how we felt
Granted he's a lying sod
but even so
I think it's odd
to tell me tales of cuckoldry
when all's I want is
a cup of tea, she
must know where secrets lie and
also know that they don't die
but does she care?
Knowing her
I think not.
Moral..if you have secrets keep them to yourself.

Disturb the Universe
We stood on the ocean cliff
Olfactory memories comfort my restless mind
My fingers dance
I could take your hand
We would float down to our make believe paradise
The home we'll never have

I keep drawing air but nothing sticks
   You being taken left a puncture wound that can only be fixed by your presence
         I take in oxygen in spite of its futility

              Reaching *
true stability
an unlikely solution with every once clear path but a smudge underneath anxiety laden lenses

       I wheeze as I walk this graveyard of a town
          Cars all different shades and shapes
                      Passing by me
         I want to ask them what the point is of having lungs when you have nothing to breathe for
    And I light a cigarette in light of heavy irony

At this point I'm just feeding the only beast I want to ****
              I can't find you
         I can't get to you
            I'm scared I'll lose you forever to these f#cking monsters


But I can't stop
     Even when I lose sight of where I'm going
    Because these cars have to stop eventually
         Logic dictates they will find a parking spot
Pull off and find a place to rest
         And at that moment I'll ask
In a tired, raspy, wheezing voice *I'll ask
