like cigarettes
you're addictive as hell

like the alcohol in my glass
you make me feel so well

your presence

soothes

my soul

your touch
makes me

lose

**control

Listen,
I've got guilt choking all of my good juju.

I’m sorry I told you we’d hang out
just so I could come over
to watch Breaking Bad.
You know I need that
weekly crystalbluepersuasion.

I’m sorry I didn't sit on the porch steps
with you afterward
while you had your evening cigarette.
(I could have done that at least.)

I imagined you
sitting there
watching me
drive down the street &
out of your sight—
a lit cigarette hung limply from your lips.

I felt your disappointment &
I cursed my mother for teaching me
to have such a sharp sense of empathy.

I know I’ll never be badass enough
not to care.
I realize I was born to give
one too many *****.
I've learned to accept it
as my incessant character flaw.

(It could be worse.)

Although,
I have to be honest,
I get my kicks
entertaining the notion
that for one evening
I was
the one that got away.

He pointed a gun at me,
      not to any place in particular,
He looked at me,
      with a smile that would befit a greedy king.
They shot me,
      in places I wouldn't die from.
Then he took me,
     and tried to force himself into me.
I smiled then,
     and laughed as if it were fun.
He was taken aback then,
     because I had shown him,
       what he had become.
I even kissed him once,
      and the passion in his mouth
          told that he thought he had found his one.
....
Then that girl walked in,
    unaware of the folly that had begun.
The one with small hips,
        and a disconnect from he base chakra,
                 that she insisted she had.
That is why she saw nothing amiss,
         in the scene that lay before her.
Then her other side kicked in,
         like a bad cut displaying the side effects
               of a life of imbalance and self deceit.
And she wanted him for herself.

      ....my god this girl is going to get us both killed.

I demanded she leave,
       with a force in my voice she would never know,
she looked at me as if I were selfish...

        ....maybe I should leave and let her stay -_-
                                
                   ....no, this has to end.

When she left,
             he returned,
                  and I layed back down with him,
                           and held him like his mother never did..
He met the mother that day,
         when he was pulled through the void,
               he returned back home,
                    and was held the whole way.
Then I was left,
       sitting alone and naked on the bed,
               with the warm Light
                     of the spring day
                          shining through the bay windows
                              to the East of Enlightenment.
                                     silently pulling the stray bullets,
                                                   out of my soft flesh.

In my room
Ruminating
Counting all my misses
Discounting all my blessings

Swinging from moods
like happiness is my spouse
Versus the rest of my emotions
In a Vegas hotel
Where other room keys are being grabbed for
With great trepidation

i'm still waking up alone

I'll find her somewhere raging in my veins with
My darling madness and her trigger finger itch
While I'm balling my fists
Divine intervention decides who wins

In the summertime I become more manic
The sun becomes my touch of fire
Prometheus rising out of panic

Doctor doctor,
Thanks for the chemicals
But I wanna feel more than just "ok" all the time.
Detox to make me God some of the time
while the rest of the time
I'm just running on empty
From a routine
Back to my room
ruminating.

I hope I have lines around my eyes when I'm older
because crow's feet are caused either by bad eyesight or years of laughter
and my vision's 20/20.

Smoking my last cigarette
I know you hate it
Never kicked the habit

Walked in with your jawline set
I know your angry
Lets get at it

Walk out trailing behind you
Like I'm some kind of
a n i m a l?

Throw me into the passengers side
And kiss me hard
Before we go
