We sat
In
Bed
                 Just staring.
She               Said
I'm
Not here
And I don't love
                              You
I chuckled
             And
Said with a             Gleam in
   My
Eye
Oh baby
             I
  Know.
I            Hate
    You

I brush the hair off of her face. It falls back again. I don't laugh

I sit there
My eyes
Burning,
My heart, burning.
I am in pain.
But
Jesus
I know I'm alive, isn't
It nice to feel.

I put the bottom
Of the Bottle to
The sky, and
Let the stars
Pour into my throat

Look at me, (when you cry)
Lying longways, (here am I)
Let me hold you, (to my chest)
When you cry, (so do I)

Sorrow (is)
An.
(Acorn.)

[Leaping boldly]
From a Tree... And!
                     .

Hittingpavement.

A full moon wanes,
A dark cloud rains
My sorrow is as full,
As both of these

To repose,
In a bed;
Without her,
(Beside me.)
A terrible thing,
Is loathing while lying.

Be quiet
And still,
I hear the steps creak,
A footfall, a breath,
My heart skips a beat.

A vapor,
A phantom,
Tempestuous odor,
Her hair wafts--
Through the air,
An imagined aroma

And I am alone.
