-Yearning-

AMcQ

Shaking, tossing, turning,
Stomach knotted; churning,
Light of day I'm yearning,
Darkness fades for you.

Raging, pulsing, chasing
Heart is pounding; racing.
Creaking boards I’m pacing.
Make haste morning dew.

Stirring, calming, slowing,
Curtains lightened; glowing
Misty solace growing,
My mind returns, renewed.

Injection

Injection

You called yourself a philosopher—but
The only depth you cared about
was intravenous.

*The boy who loved God too much,
he tried to find Him

in his head.

ARI

Winter

I stand sadly by my window
Watching as winter once again
Claims all that surrounds me

I once loved this season
Of icy snow, wool socks,
And fires to keep me warm

But now I dread stepping outside
For I know I will never again
See your footprints next to mine

mel

i will, i promise

*****'s been tasting a lot
like candy lately

my nightmares are always
your arms wrapped around me

(you ask me if i'd take
the fall for you
i will, i promise)

darling, there is but
a thin line
between 'love' and
'unhealthy'
