He came,
He left,
She followed

Turquoise paintings of purple hues
Often bring about madness
4th degree burns turn blue
In sunlight
Breaking 4th wall
**** in hand
Third-leg stand
Exhaustion creeping over bones

Arthritis
Hepatitis
C
The vitamin
Makes a graduation
From the bowels of the high
Schooler

Rulers
Exact measurements
My ***** is this big
Preschool measuring
There are 3 cups of juice left over
How many ounces in a cup?

Pig pen
See men
Wafting around in filth
I.

Await for something post period
Pregnant pauses

I may start posting a backlog soon.

Love letter

I realized, looking into her eyes
In a picture
In a room
In my mind
That I never gave her a chance

She deserves better

And every time I think of her,
I want to be that

We forced it
And ****, was it hot
But I'm not about to lose her
And in order to keep her
We need the parking break

It's time to stop putting pressure on us both
And just be
Be friends
Be loving
Be spiritual
Be understanding
Be strong and weak
And be with and without

There's a serenity in the days
I miss her so dearly, but I know now
How much I needed this
How much we needed this

I am in a relationship, contrary to electronic letters
and words

I pray about you often
Just about every time I pray, honestly
And the thought of you with another man makes me physically ill
I almost can't imagine it

I love you more than I can put into words
And simply for the sole reason that you are
Who you are

Sometimes, a poem just ends

"It's been less than a year."
He said with sincerity
Did he believe it?
Was the question
The answer was

The Heffalump goes bump

It's weird
They say distance
makes the heart grow fonder
Due to experience,
I won't disagree
I hope you don't either

Sometimes, what I write just sounds good, but doesn't mean a whole lot

HOMYGAWD
Your ears are burning
And I can smell the flesh

I never expected you to leave
But you never wanted what's best

There's comfort in silence
And comfort with your body

Back to flesh
And burning
We are
On fire

And I've never been hungrier for red
Meat me in the middle
And I'll meat you south

I've never been one for letting out ***** laundry
(**** lingerie)
But here we go, and there we were

And here I am
Searching for something else
Grasping at straws
And praying for a better way
Or the way that's most proper

You've made a monster

If it's only a part, it doesn't work; I want all of you

I almost gave into temptation
As the rocket passed by my bedroom
Eclipsing the moon in its O so delicate form

I couldn't arrange my feelings properly
And I can honestly say that I still can't

I look to my left
And sometimes I'm right
But I still write left

And I want to read,
But books are too far
And I want to love
But this is too bizarre

And never will I accept a falsehood under the hood of my car

Invisible mishaps in the happenings of France
Beat the backwards happenstance
And misplace everything that was never there

I thought of someone else today,
Someone from my past.
Nothing ever happened,
but I wonder how she's doing.
And part of me never cared to begin with.

Tuxedo shirts to be formal

A day without you...
I don't even know if you'll read this
And part of me is ok with that

The worst part is realizing the thing that you love
or the person
is what you're suffocating yourself with,
enveloping yourself in

I was drowning myself in you
And a day where I am me was what I needed
I prayed
I worked

And I let the soil
Wash away my clean

Tonight, all I want to do is smoke
And let it linger
Like your scent
Or your presence

I still love you
My feelings haven't changed

And last night, I was about 80% sure we'd be together
But we have to grow
And we have to help each other do that
But before that happens
There needs to be an understanding
And an absolute desire to move forward

I asked Our Holy Mother to envelope you in love
I asked for Christ to guide you
and me

And one day, we'll look back on this and laugh.
And I'll be 80% sure it was the right thing.
