I dreamed I was
on your couch
and you gave me
that white blanket
I love and you
played with my
fingers and kissed
me on my temple
just like always
and your eyes
did that little
crinkly thing I
look forward to
when you laugh
and you said,
"I've missed you
so much."
And I woke up
and reached out
to find you, but
I found I was
in my own bed
in my own room
in my lonely apartment.
I don't want to go
back to sleep.

i wish i was naturally pretty                  
i wish i was naturally skinny                  
i wish i was naturally happy                  
i wish i was naturally loving                  
i wish i was naturally never frightened
i wish i was naturally smart                    
i wish i could stop wishing
                      for things that
will never come true
i wish i wasn't a dreamer

We are all doomed to Death.
We all have the same fate;
So why do we try and change it?

the ache of a violin
thrums in your stomach
a soft sad whisper
and a gray smudged tear
ink calligraphy on a cheek;
a wreck of beauty
so wonderfully ruined.
a glorious ship sunk
and decaying in dust
under leagues
of ocean
reminding us
that the prideful
can be broken.

sweet escape

Touch me sweet, God, you gave me nine lives and
I would waste one to say something to
someone from three and a half years ago when
I still humored my pastor
and got guys hard past midnight, at every midnight.

Could meet them again, two by two
and forget he would love some part of me in the future.

She called me a loving *******,
I wasted three of my lives
loving him in silence. I could have shouted
that I deserved better than someone who never did

call me baby just because I am young.
I deserved to have God caress my shoulders like angel
wings, pick my feet off the floor, glide on tile
like soap bars on skin
I will use to wash his slow escape away from me.
I actually dislike this one very much, but some things just need to be said.

We've been passing bottles between these leather couches since we were old enough to hang out
without a babysitter

All of a sudden all those distant things
we fantasized about while getting drunk for the
first time have developed lives of their own
and climbed into our's...
all ugly and distorted
from what we had imagined
through our hazy mind's eye....

Now I'm looking at your hazy eyes
all worn out and confused
And I can feel my heart breaking
beneath my skin
The cage that shelters my blood,
cracking all over
As your smile fades into
the apathy of a tired agony

I swear this empathy will be the death of me
A love so excruciatingly deep that it can feel
every heart beat that your's skips
And it overwhelms me
Your pain is the most misplaced of mine
I don't understand why
it aches so deeply to see you ache at all
And you're not the only one
No
Look around
At the people we've become
I'm crying for everyone

When it was far away from everywhere
and we were there together
watching Mallards
skipping across the ripples of the lake.
I took your hand in mine and gently kissed your cheek
which was dimpled by the morning Sun and you
told me that it could always be like this time
and every time I am far away
I think back to that day and did those Mallards fly away too?

After what seemed forever,far away
I answered
like we were in a play,
'My Dearest beloved, I shall surely love you for always'
but always is far away too
and like forever that never came true
but the memory holds fast and what is,is what's cast upon the waters where the Mallards flew.do you
think back to then
when at the end of faraway,  in that summer morning that seems so near today,I kissed you tenderly,
are you the same as me when it comes to memory and you can't let go
does time still last for you
like the time that flew
far away?

Late at Night

It's late at night when thoughts are worse,
smoking out the window staring up at the sky
Broken people wandering a broken earth
whats the point in caring anymore why even try.

I'm longing for affection,
to be needed my someone.
This feelings pathetic,
it holds me back, it's dumb.

Broken people wandering a broken earth,
it's late at night when thoughts are worse.
