it's been a waiting game
these past four years
waiting to wake up
refreshed
and energetic
and productive
waiting to smile in the shower
waiting to
lay all of my weight into a monday
without shame from sunday
or fear of tuesday...
waiting to fall asleep
without
your voice in the back of my head
well today i woke up
impatient
and realized
that's the thing
I've been waiting to feel

Why on earth are there creases, wrinkles and criss-crossing on the left side of the bed?
I thought you left with a goodbye stained into unfinished black coffee made before vocal cords woke up to say Good Morning.
And that was more than all the time (years, months?) ago, it's more than my fingers can ever count.
Hey hey hey!
I finally wrote in a new journal! Eeeeek! :') I am so excited as to what I'll fill the pages with.

I hope you, you and you have a lovely day/night! xo

darling i have a lot of spare time and lately i have been using it to compare us to a game of bowling and maybe that seems like a wild comparison to make but quite frankly if i pretend that you are a bowling ball and my heart is the bowling pins and you have just knocked them down in a brilliant strike and celebrated it then it isn't as absurd as it once seemed, is it?
this is as close to somewhat decent as i could get because my mind is a blur and i am terribly sorry for that
I fell asleep after "Good Morning, Vietnam":

I can feel it all, in your hair.
Under trees.
Flying above the stratosphere.
My arms extended.
The skin burning off my torso-
struggling to breathe,
with a smile on my face.

(Canned laughter)

You're in a living room.
You are me.

I dug into my chest and petted my heart.
Groaning, the blood swam around my hands
and ate it's way up my forearm,
to my elbow,
to my neck,
to my chin,
to my lips.
"I can ******* blood,"
an internal piece of dialogue.

She whispers in your ear,
"I know who you are."
I am you.

I cut my voice on the air, calling out for her.

Why'd you abandon me?
I love you so ******* much.

Why'd you abandon me?
I love you so ******* much.

(Canned laughter)

Why'd you abandon me?
I love you so *******-

You are in my room.
I am you.
We are everything,
and we are nothing.

That's my mirror.
It's shattered.

Hey, there I am on the ground.

There's a brunette, mediocre poet.
It's shattered.

And on my hand are specs of heated sand,
sleeping in my skin-
a glass garden.

How can one find schizophrenic kisses
in a reflection.

(Canned laughter)

I said, "How can one find-"

my dad took to the yard
with a vengeance, tearing
into the bramble, imbued
with a great autumn anger
schhhtt, schhhhtt, schhting
across the sidewalk in a fury
not unlike Samuel hacking
Agag to pieces in the 6 pm
blush, still 70 out, too warm
for fall, I watched with a
heaviness, the pungent
smell of unearthed pine
and wet leaves leaving
a starchiness to the
air as he continued
to gather the brush in
bags, with my thoughts,
with my thoughts,
with my thoughts.
