Maybe I liked you because I thought you were broken
Just like I am
But as it turns out you never were
It was just my imagination

Permanent stars

If I was lost in space
I would spend my days staring into the stars
And my nights basking in their shallow glow
Until finally the stars would be permanent fixtures on the inside of my corneas
And I could throw myself out in the oblivion
My last breath slipping away
My body becoming stardust

Orange

You left me broken on the floor
Pieces spread everywhere
Hiding in the dust
You never even bothered
to clean up
The pieces of my fading soul that had splashed the carpet orange

oblivion

Imagine being an astronaut
It’s one of the scariest things I can imagine
Floating around in outer space
A space that is as close to infinite anything can ever be
Imagine drifting out
Becoming lost
In the oblivion

CO2

You look at me with a hint of recognition in your eyes
You think maybe we’ve had a class together or played the same sport
Or maybe I am the girl who lived in that house down the road
You know I look familiar
You have seen me before
I look slightly different from everybody else
That’s why you recognize me
But you don’t remember me
I am like the painting you have walked past a thousand times
Without stopping
Never really having looked at it
I am like the carbon dioxide in the air around you
I am there
But I am INVISIBLE to you
I mean NOTHING to you
Even though you once meant EVERYTHING to me

HA HA ...

Why does it crack you up?
Is the idea of
Someone
Loving
Me
So preposterous
That you can’t keep that laughter of yours
From spilling out of your mouth like poisoned arrows?

Never Look Back

Someday I will leave this town
And I will never look back
Someday I will forget the place where I grew up
The place where I was born
Someday I won’t even remember its name
I will never look back
I will never tack a second glance
The broken memories will fade
Like old photographs
And I will never look back
