She rifled through me like a set of old drawers,
clothes strewn all over the bed and floor.
My eyes there
My ears there
My skin there
My lungs there
My mind there
My head there
But my heart over there
Away from the rest of me
She stomped on it as she walked out
It bled all over the carpet
And hasn’t stopped since.

when we discovered
each other i was
so ill equipped.
but could you have ever  
imagined that touching
could be so adventurous.

take this time here and do with it what you will.
spent it ruthlessly with every might of your passion.
walk every street until you’re soles
can bare the burden no more.
you will find your way, worn,
****** footprints on lost pavements
that lead to nowhere, somewhere.
i will wait for as long as it takes,
tend every wound until you
know that every step you took,
every wipe of your brow,
every heave for every elusive breath
was not futile, you were merely
finding your way back home.

my arms are open.

i died last night
and amongst it all
from way up here
i saw your sparkle
and wished i had done so
much more to love you.

I would rather be crushed
by the plight of humanity,
rise up through the rubble,
than surrender to the ease of apathy,
and leave you alone,  
in this game of thrones.

do you really think love is easy?
that it takes no effort to keep love
to be love.

love is arguing over something small then
feeling **** about, wishing you had
better control over your tongue,
and saying sorry.

‘s not about who’s right, who’s wrong
‘s about making up,
‘s about taking the ripped out invisible chord
and plugging it back into each other.
reconnecting the love chord – not into the brain.

that day she said, “get out! i never want to see you again.”
he realised he’d’ ****** up big time for the last time.
that one more with the boys, meant the last one with her.
all she wanted was a window seat, but he gave her the aisle,
always the aisle,
the wrong aisle.
oh well.

thing is, you get another chance – at love that is.
best not look for it, clutch for it, search for it, otherwise
all you’ll find is desperation.
can’t love desperation.
you won’t even make the
plane if you fall for desperation.

love is many things, but what it’s not, is
easy.
whomever thinks it’s easy has never
found love.
they’ve found easy.

some flippant tongue
tosses your name in the air
like a ***** old coin.

i feel it’s like autumn.
vivid hues, the scent of rain
and leaves falling to the ground.

don’t ever speak that way of her,
don’t ******* your
values to gain a few more friends
a few more laughs,
your too old, too wise for that.

they come and go, just like
leaves into winter.
be gentle with her name,
let it slide from your mouth,
and slip all the way into spring.

she’ll stick by your side right
through summer and beyond,
like friends often do when
you speak of them nice.
