Reject me not if I should say to you  
I do forget the sounding of your voice,  
I do forget your eyes that searching through  
The mists perceive our marriage, and rejoice.  
  
Yet, when the apple-blossom opens wide          
Under the pallid moonlight's *******,  
I see your blanched face at my breast, and hide  
My eyes from diligent work, malingering.  
  
Ah, then, upon my bedroom I do draw  
The blind to hide the garden, where the moon          
Enjoys the open blossoms as they straw  
Their beauty for his taking, boon for boon.  
  
And I do lift my aching arms to you,  
And I do lift my anguished, avid breast,  
And I do weep for very pain of you,        
And fling myself at the doors of sleep, for rest.  
  
And I do toss through the troubled night for you,  
Dreaming your yielded mouth is given to mine,  
Feeling your strong breast carry me on into  
The peace where sleep is stronger even than wine.

stuff with

see the horror
on the cashier's
face.

I feel like my sadness has become my default mindset
And my negativity never ceases to amaze me
In the most putrid sense of the word

"Your mood must be cycling," He said without discretion
Because I didn't want anymore awards
Because it doesn't mean anymore to me then a stupid patch on a stupid shirt
Because I feel more accomplished without it then with it
Because it doesn't matter
It never did
But he would never accept that
"I think you need a better medication." He said with ignorance
All his awards and medals and patches sewn on to perfection and shining like vainity

I like reading
Old peoples poems
They always are filled with an odd sense of knowing
And it makes me feel safe to know someone  **knows

Why is it
That when a person is gone
Do you feel your need for them to be there?
Its as if they are toys that you didn't bother playing with when you were little
They were just fixtures in your room
All you wanted was more toys,
Different ones
Because the old ones were never good enough
Then when your parents wanted to get rid of them you protested
But they were already gone
And you felt the sting and pain and need for them to be there
You lost your fixtures
Because of the selfish need for more

I have galaxies hidden between my bones
And I will love you until the stars burn out

if you never stop questioning what you're told
what you're shown
what you're guaranteed
what you're spoon-fed by the hand of
stingy
swinish
shrewd and sly
businessmen
well that's half the battle.

when you first encounter the urge to
bite that hand
congratulations
you're now a dangerous person.

you're now learning how to think for yourself
and you're going to get angry
and you're going to be butthurt
and they don't like that.

verbal warfare,
the cruelest kind.
sickly syllables
pierce the skin with every beat.
sentences strung together with an intangible toxin,
the deadliest of weapons.

two opponents,
spewing words
spawned from the unholiest of places.
their only goal to cut the other down.
to see whose poison is more potent.
who can strike the strongest blow.

it's the kamikaze pilot
versus
the suicide bomber.
you can't have verbal warfare
without letting your own ugly show.
**** your kindness.
suffocate your sympathy.
show no mercy.

after all,
there's no going back.
