A text from me to you,
explaining my actions
out of anger were untrue.
I'm sorry.

A month has gone by,
such a long time,
for silence.

I'm surprised to read,
that in your reply
you feel the same way.

Also admitting that it must be hard,
for me, to deal with such a difficult person (you).

A *****, I would call it,
But calling it difficult
sounds more noble.

Then you send,
"Do you want to get coffee?"

Glad you made an effort
to try and spend some time together.

But I was busy,
and I told you tomorrow.

Then the next day
you never did reply.

You told me you wanted to get coffee,
but you blew me off instead.

You never fail to disappoint me.
I guess you can't make time

for an old friend.
All armies are the same
Publicity is fame
Artillery makes the same old noise
Valor is an attribute of boys
Old soldiers all have tired eyes
All soldiers hear the same old lies
Dead bodies always have drawn flies

I went looking for God
but I found you instead.
Bad luck or destiny,
you decide.

Buried in the muck,
the soot of the city,
sorrow for an appetite,
devil on your left shoulder,
angel on your right.

You, with your thorny rhythms
and tragic, midnight melodies.

My heart never tried
to commit suicide before.
I'm spitting teeth onto the pavement.
Cracked grin cracked across my mouth
like your fist as it splits my lip again.
And again.
And again.
Ribs splitting from the laugh
that is echoing across the bricks
laid psuedo-symetrically like our
best-made plans.

In this corner weighing in at 115 pounds
we have the hopeless romantic.
All featherweight and bones.
All martyrish and faithful.
When you fall in love
The World is an open book
A sky filled with white doves
Beauty in everywhere you look

When you see her crying
There is pain deep inside
As if your heart is dying
It strips away at your pride

When she kisses you
On the clouds you walk
Feelings touch so true
Finding voices to talk

This is a feeing of hope
Deep down in your being
For each day you can cope
The gift of the feeling .....

.....To love
