now just an oil slick
on the road you took
South

just a bare scraping
on your toast
in the morning
avoiding
Cholesterol levels
from invading
your mouth

just a small piece
of tissue paper
upon your chin
because the cut
bled...
RED

but not enough
to waste
a whole square
of toilet paper
that might have been
useful
for your overloaded
*******

Where all this **** begins

and ends

*spread so thin
only able to dab
at the blood spilt,
unable to wipe
the crap from
your chin

I didn't really know you but, Oh, by the way...

I knew your name

but, who are you?

I cried to hear

you died!

***!

Did you read my mind?

That could have been me

totally

Maybe I'm jealous

you took the next step

TOTALLY HOW IT COULD HAVE
BEEN ME, BUT IT WASN'T!

Helen Mar 2014

don't follow me, I'm lost too!

how would I know
what it's like?
to wake in the morning
and everything's right?

how would I know
which way to turn?
you like left
I like right
at the next intersection
I think
we should
go for it
and watch it all
just crash
and burn

How should I know
how many hours
you should sleep?
I'm kept awake
by your tears
but don't
reach
for the tissues
to cleanse my eyes
I need to weep

Stop following me
like some lost puppy
I can only lead you
to Hells Door
If you want
to come
for the ride
I
couldn't ask
for more

but don't blame me if its not one of your 'ultimate fantasy' destinations

Hindsight (looking into the past) 10W

Retrospectively

Looking behind me

all I see

*is an ****

Helen Mar 2014

I missed you by several hours

and by then

the meal was stale

It sat congealing

upon a cold plate

My breath

did not make

an ounce of difference

to how you feel

when you served

the meal

I think you see

my appreciable

as just another

song gone cold

I weep over every bite

I stay silent

because

my spoken word

can't make it

right

*but I will savour
every bite

I'm sorry I even tried, but the meal was truly delicious..
