I wish you would be as
brave
in the heat of the
day
as you are in the
chill of the
night.
I'm not stupid. But I'm not smart either.
I found your old copy of
the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
while looking for The
Never Ending Story last night,
and for the first time ever,
I cried at the sight of a young
Clint Eastwood outfitted in
Southern drag, his
handsome face now dustied
beneath my fingertips,
wishing that you'd pat
a spot next to you on my bed and say,
come on babe, give him a shot.
It's Clint Eastwood!

This time I'd say yes, put the DvD in
and we'd lie together watching
the Good the Bad and the Ugly
all come and then leaves us.

Your door cannot stop this flood.
I  am water.
I am a flood.
There are stars
in your eyes
where pupils
should be.

There were
stars in your
eyes where
pupils
should be.

he said to me,

oh but the parties were funnn
was it not the camel that
broke the straw's back
had it feeling like
it's straw was made of
unmendable water
had it feeling like
it's back was the only
piece he could sit upon
nevermind the ground
and all the pressure it
could handle.
i need you gone
and not with the wind,
because it will bring you
back again.
We don't speak.

We look into each other's eyes.

We don't nod.

We acknowledge each other's presence with silence and calm swarms along with it.

He fixes his tie and walks away.

We don't speak.

I think it's easier to say
'if I had known' because
then it makes me feel
less responsible for
what you did.
If I had known
that you felt
so alone in this
world that you'd go
to that extent

I'd have.

And that's just it.
What would I
have done.
I know I did
nothing
and now
where are you
Rest in peace. Rest in peace.
they do what they say
and they pick at all two
hundred and six plus bones
until I am left with no poles
to stand firm upon.
No limbs. No cartlidge.
they do what they say and
they alienate me into
a spineless coward.
There once was
A fork in my road
And I made the decision
To go the way I did
For better or worse
The choice was made

There once was
A girl in my life
Who was just as strange
As me
And she stood there
At my fork
On my road
And begged
Me

There once was
Freedom in my soul
And I have never quite
Felt as free as I did
On our couch
With her

There once was
Hope
That our magnets
Were strong enough
To endure anything

There once was
You and I
Together
And I spend my days
Thinking what our life
Would be like
Together
