I used to crush
lightning bugs on
my face. I thought
I would glow in
the dark.
I don't, although,
my liver has given me
a nice jaundice cast.
Almost Miami tan.
The other night
she
punched me, then called
the cops- blood everywhere.
She went to jail for
five days.
She acted like it was
an eternity.
We ****** last night until
we were raw.
Today, she's a stranger;
self centered and
self absorbed.
I've been drinking Cooking Sherry
to keep from having seizures.
She couldn't care less.
She brought home a
six pack and gave me one
beer.
Oh well,
I knew she was no Iris when
I met her.
I just didn't realize she
was Nightshade.

I am stuck, you see, I am stuck,
In the middle of a stupid attack,
And I am waiting.

What is up with hp....something seems janky with the site.......some poems won't publish others have 18 views in 23 hours ***?  Is anyone else experiencing this problem???

Too many is too much,
And it's still too many.

Book ends
Old friends
Nightmares
Day dreams
Triggers
Pulling you down again
Making darkness your frenenmy
Nothing Polyanna about blue days and stormy nights
Talk to me
Tell me tbe bad never becomes good
Dealing with it us not enough
Finding tbe road and easing down it
Kmowing that the rain never ends
The light you seek is inside your heart
Returns when it beats normally again
Dead ends.Old friends
Here's to the light of life

I’ve just realised
that nobody talks in rhyme
and nobody  walks in time
words are never sublime
nobody told me
nobody said
nobody knew
I care
too much
inside my head
