I dipped my
feet in
Red paint and
Walked into
Your bedroom
To show you
How I feel

You are from that
Perfect world that
Threw me away and
Labeled me as "*****"
And I am
And I want
You to be

I died before
You killed me
Under Orion

She loves boats,
Because
She can get to
The middle of something
Not just
The outside.
She loves the sea
Because
She can’t tell tears
From the spray
That alights her face
Like sad reflections.
She loves solitude
Because
Her hair can mask her face and
She can breathe her words
Through her hands
Without looks.
She loves water
Because
It’s the only thing that
Holds her
The only thing that
Fills her hunger,
For wholeness.
She holds her breath
Because
She loves to breathe
Loves to appreciate
Life.
She taunts death
Because
She’s not scared
To prepare
For her re-fall.

"There’s no such thing,
As love!”
I scream
To myself.
I hope to
Eat my words
Someday.

It was my half-life,
Mine to spend,
How I liked.
I squandered it,
In death.

Didn't think you would,
Break my fall,
Just to break me.
Your words slither,
Across my throat,
They choke me with,
Their thouand truths.
They haunt me with,
Their skeletal smiles.
I tell myself,
I couldn't have known.
Couldn't have seen you,
For what you were.
I know that I,
Can't blame myself,
Can't hate myself,
But I do.
