With each letter,
It's divided into fourths.
With each syllable,
You fade away.

As the days and hours
Tick on and on,
I feel you.

Dripping
Out of my pores.
Scraping
Out my guts.
Packing
My heart,
And taking it to go.

Now I can't
Look you in the face
Can't
Find comfort in your embrace
Can't
Stand in one ******* place,
Because my paycheck
Is running out.

I knew in the beginning
That this time would come,
So I'm not saying
That this isn't fair.

But when you leave,
My love will be lost.
Maybe I should have looked first,
For how much
You cost.

Nothing hurts more than distance
& I can feel it in your stare
the stale air that now separates
our hearts

Maybe its me
& its all my fault
I halt my feelings
for no reason at all

There's bitter sadness in my bones
& the tones of your laugh
no longer light the strings
of fuses in my heart

I'm soggy and damp
& became champ
of shutting out those
that mean the most to me

Matches no longer strike
& I hike to feel
to feel something
anything at all

I need to hang to dry
& learn why
my soul has folded
in upon itself
You must know I love you

If dreams came true
I'd dream of a future

If I could wish upon a star
I'd wish for bliss

If I could change one thing
I'd take a needle and string
And sow together the spaces
That seperate me and you

i don't regret
meeting anyone that i've met
anyone that i have loved
i will not forget
they have broadened my playlist
introduced me to all different styles
i have come to appreciate my playlist
that has been growing for a while
someone introduced me to indie
someone else what they played in the 60's
and Mr. current listens to classic
appreciative of music without lyrics
i've never known what to listen to
i grew up on rock and roll
so thank you to all those i've loved and will love
you have deeply affected my soul.

so it would seem that we have both been yearning, the eager entanglement of our loose limbs leaves me just a little drunk, forgive me for my clumsy fingers & breathless gasps.  i am dizzy with the weight of your lips, kissing me tongue-deep, awash in your scent & splendor.  i cannot get enough of you, now that you dared tell me you loved me beneath the starry-eyed blanket of nightfall, clasped in your radiant warmth & body heat, while the wild things sang.  here, intertwined within a mess of quilts, we are learning each other’s flawed perfection.  i do not apologize for my soft stomach or the sea of scars laddering my legs, & you breathe that i am beautiful.  there is no cocktail of chemicals beating through my blood tonight, only the weight of your body on my body & the poetry of us.

Suddenly a ring
Appears around her feet,
And whip in her hand
Makes her lungs retreat.

Here comes the tiger.
A flood,
An ambush.
His blue eyes searching
For a place,
A blood rush.

She turns her head,
He snatches her heart.
But she's not dead,
She's just filling her part.

The tiger snarls.
A growl,
A roar.
She's falling
Again,
For one who makes her sore.

At this time yesterday
I was touching your skin,
and kissing your lips.
You slowly pulled your hand
across my hips.
I felt like the Ocean
and you were my moon.
I can't begin to count the things
you do to make me swoon.
The joy in your laugh,
The shine in your smile,
It all makes me wish
We didn't have such a short while.
I wish I could kiss you,
Every minute,
Everyday.
Maybe,
Just maybe then,
You'd be able to stay.
