kicked out of the house with no shoes on
walking down the highway im so far gone

wiping the tears from my face before they freeze
after all theres a thirty degree breeze

waiting for someone to slow down and stop
other than some crooked cop

sent from above an angel appeared
some guy with a very long beard

most girls wouldve ran away
but he reminded me of my uncle billy who recently passed away monday

the smell of cigarettes in his car
made the drive seem not so far

the tingling trace
of your prickly face

down my neck
followed by soft pecks

like the whetted dry grass in the summer
that we laid on until we heard thunder

you were so ******, such a clutter
and i was the lover that had to suffer

you stabbed me and i apologized
after all it was my fault that i fell for your disguise

open pastures and quivering lakes
geese chortling, flowers blooming and vegetables developing

granny-mama's unpretentious plainspoken vegetable garden
so advantageous and hearty, yet appalling

unlike her beautiful tempting flower garden
enthralling and efflorescence , yet filled with thorns

as i waste away in the ancient depraved lawn chair on the edge of the water
i begin to think about the past me and who i would become

i swam in the shallow water for a few months
as i grew older slowly into the vegetable everyone desired

when my season was over people began to admire the flowers around me

i became irrelevant in the shallows, so i took a step towards the drop off

i became a ravishing flower that no one wanted to hold or pick because the thorns on my stem would leave scars forever

i soon couldnt swim any longer
so i began to drown deeper into the water
with the rest of the beautiful flowers that wanted to fit in

Desperate for acceptance.
I poured out my soul.
My blissful beloved heart was no longer whole.
It was melted.
Soaked in by the wrong person.
I wanted him jubilant from the beginning.
Drip drop every day.
Soon my heart began to stop.
I had nothing left, I was dry and ringed from happiness.
Depression was all that was left.
While he was absorbed and content.

waves across the horizon colliding into one another at the shore
the tide slowly inching longer

curls brushed out collectively creating their own waves
flourishing to their dead ends

sun beaming down on the body of a fair skinned
leaving sun-ray kisses on her cheek

shattered seashells hidden in the sand
along with crushed pieces of her heart

it was all left on the beach where the tide could eventually carry her worries away

in the night
we departure from time that we have with each other
at our spot below the trees

rain drops striking down on the sun roof
rolling down the windshield

mimicking the tears falling down my face and the striking of things we shouldnt say

the branches above us clashing into each other
breaking each other apart limb by limb

imitate the arguments we have shattering each others heart at every dispute

by morning the storm is over
left us struck and destroyed yet filled with sunshine and clear skies

good things come to those who wait she says
what she said didn't help then
my heart still bled
it was only a matter of when.

heartbreak after heartbreak my love became locked away
everyone/thing began to turn gray.

i was waiting without even knowing
it apparently was showing and sadness started growing.

the wait was over after my blind eyes were open
he had brought color and hope in.

he was the good thing.

your ocean blue eyes,
remind me of the color of the sky.

gigantic walls,
you'll never want to fall.

muscular arms,
but i know you could never cause harm.

that one tattoo,
ive always wondered who.

broken heart,
who would want to tear apart,
such a fine piece of art.

that bright smile of yours,
please just open up your doors,
im not like these other ******.

you are such a flirt,
and you only left me hurt.

cuddles that were ever so tight,
the times you asked me to stay the night,
everything felt so right.

when you kissed me,
i wanted to agree,
but all i could think about was where was she.

i wanted to be your valentine,
but you were too busy counting your dollar signs,
so much for waiting in that **** chick fil a line.

after you put your joint in the ashtray,
you picked me up and carried me away,
we proceeded to skip the foreplay.

when i said your name,
it ignited a flame,
and that's when i knew it was fair game.

afterwards you told me to stay,
it was so sweet that you gave me tooth decay.

i love your laugh,
my mind took a photograph,
i wish i could be your better half.
