I took a train
to ease the pain
it dropped me off
at 4th and Main
But then I guess
I can’t complain
it’s better than dropping
from a plane
For if I did
I must explain
right where I stand
would be a stain
and there a while
it would remain

unless of course

it rained
Just messing around

Clear mountain streams rush
in waterfall seduction,
flowing desires upon perfect flesh,
shimmering on dewdrop shoulders,
saturated lips embrace,
glistening skin bared to a bashful sky
neath aquamarine dreams
where we bathe
drenched in the cascading love
of each other


I finally got to kiss her
and my poor heart skipped a beat
My mind was whirling rapidly
when our lips came to meet

I can’t explain the feeling
I was brimming with desire
Heat was running down my spine,
it was raging like a fire

My entire body quivered
I was shaking head to toe
I never felt a kiss so good
and wanted her to know

I finally got to kiss her
but there’s nothing I could say
Because I could not seem to talk,
she took my breath away


In a hummingbird's tear drop
I see a reflection
of sorrow filled sunsets
on strawberry skies

Loneliness wept
at the edge of a petal
its fragrance now missing
the look in your eyes

Quivering clouds
with no rain in the forecast
alone from the feelings
my heart does display

Watching it fly
upon wing shadowed silence
empty and saddened
since you went away

Stop leaving me here to kiss the ghost of my better self
Why are you messing up again and again

spread my blood on your walls with the hands that once held my heart so delicately

I think I've become the thing that you saw in your nightmares tearing you limb from limb

you've only made me feel like I'm drowning in the dark ocean rather than burning in your light

the last time I saw you, you looked so happy

I'm so sorry for pushing you all away but is it saving myself from being hurt or is it just my selfishness

I don't know how to handle the tears that seep through my clothes anymore because they're making me freeze

I'm sick of everyone saying that things will be okay because there's a few months of good until you get **** on again

I don't exist anymore to you
And definitely not to them

For some reason that I don't think I will ever understand, they built a house inside me and then lit it aflame just to see me burn

Do I understand why they lied?
No
Will I ever?
No

I'm sorry but it may not seem like it but I was giving you my all but I guess that just wasn't good enough because you were running away like wolves

And to be honest I don't even think that it's still you that I'm missing, just something that burns cigarette holes in my heart once again

it's always been my dream to be empty but now that I am I don't feel content

Everything that I am doing now is not what I imagined to be doing 2 months ago

I've drank so much to forget your ways
This feeling of wanting you comes but never stays

I miss the dark side of my emotions because at least then I had a reason to be upset because this feeling in my chest is suffocating

I am not sad
I am not mad
I am not glad

This is an existence that is rotting into my skin
Writing down all of this does not help ease the pain

Imaginary friend
I am conjuring you up in my head because all of my friends left me for dead
