Nine For The Way I Missed You

Ten For The Empty Jaws We Held All Of Our Resentment Inside, Bared Tight Until They Bled.

I Am.
So.
Sorry.
In the dark, i see my self
feeling helpless and weak.
In light, i  see him smile
with her whom he really loves,
My heart was torn to pieces;
All of a sudden my dream fades -
Waking up with a heavy heart.

Regret

Your fingertips across my skin
Burning me to ashes.
Your arms encased me
Taking all I had and what was left after that too.
Your blues eyes gave me life
A ghost without your gaze.
Your words so tender to my ears
Now your name is bitter on my lips.
Your kiss, my addiction
Heart break, my withdrawal.
Your body craved me once
Tempt me again my hopeless dream,
Regret is my friend.
Gardenia girls are never safe,
a secret love you can’t replace.

Bitter pit stuck in her chest,
dragging skin with nails of grace.

All her fears were once at bay,
now creeping from a darker place.

Her secret garden wrecked and wrought,
briny gems, each other chase.

“It’s not enough.” she tells the birds.
the flowers grieve with down turned face.

“There’s nothing we can do.” they say.
It’s fate, but we will miss your trace,

your breathing space,

and

your

embrace.
