I love you,
But
You scare the **** out of me
Sometimes.

I hope you know that.

Can you see me?
Gazing up from the ground?
I'm still breathing.
Every breath is harder.
Than the last.
But I'm not stopping now.
Not anytime soon.
My hope is louder.
Than the blows you throw.
A heart can fracture.
It can even break.
But breath keeps breathing.
Long enough to heal.

Jealousy smells like gasoline and sea water (bog water)
Sick and strange
Coarse of touch and taste
Not quite hate
No one can hate what they long to be
Thick as tree sap to drowning ants
What you don't know
Is I feel it too
Like anger in my throat and venom on my tongue
Spiders, you and I
With a thousand piercing green eyes
Neither of us would see until the sting had come
Hands rattle
Fangs grind
False inferiority violates the torn edges of the mind
Indignant scowls (flaming scowls)
This is no child's game anymore

Is having . . .
                 A thousand sorrows
                                  A thousand troubles
                                                   And a heart that is free.

There is no town
But mine
And all the rest
Welcome
Now please
Never come again

There is a peaceful movement
In the roll of a car
A sense of slight anticipation
That can't be found any other way
Its that knowing that everyone
Everywhere
Is searching for someone
A someone who could be you
It comes with a glance to the sky
When you smile
And you feel the stars pull far
But the moon swings near
With a turn of the wheel
You think its all so unlikely
Its all so far from what will be
All the same
Just for the moment it'll be alright
If you never make it out of here
As long as you've got this moment
And the hope of a moment more
You just might be happy
Anyway

When I met you you were crying
Somebody did you wrong
Your face was a fish
A red, bloated fish
And it made me a little sad
To see the fat fish in your eyes
I gave you a crumpled tissue and tried
To make you smile again
Then, my friend, you were laughing
Cheerful as a fluttering lark
But they said you were cruel
And I'd never have known
Except now you've gone
And done somebody wrong
If I was her I might have cried
So no, you are not a fish or a lark
More like a dog
But the greatest consolation I have
Is knowing Karma has found you
And She's a bigger ***** than even you
