Scissors cut like knives, and I know I will not live to see the sun rise
But before my demise I want to address something true.
I really did love you.
**** I still do.
Even though it was true, every fucken thing they said about you.
They said I couldn't trust you, I know its true, but i do.
I trust every word, **** i still think i know you.
They said your ugly, i know its true, but not to me.
I would **** just to see you smile, ******* i still want you.
They said you would hurt me.
Its true, I know its true.
You do, but i don't mind.
You can use me, I'll just pretend im fine.
As long as your happy I don't give a **** what's true.
Goodbye now, im through, i just wanted you to know that I forgive you.
i see what you do
it is so clear

holding close
what you hold dear

you pay your way
perform your tricks

protect yourself from
the cold hard nix                                          http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nix
do any of us not perform
You are the sunrise
that illuminates the twisted roads ahead.

The photocopier
that seems to do what you didn’t want it to.

The branch
that sways precariously in the wind.

The clock
that stops, starts, stops, starts.

The froth
that dangles a little too far over the side of my cup.

The peach
that contains a solid stone under the façade.

The book
that always ends with unanswered questions.

The confetti
that looks glorious but doesn't stay for long.

The nosebleed
that stains my pillow at night.

The boomerang
that flew off in the distance, yet to return.

Explanation: Second poem written for university. A metaphor poem about a friend of mine, which turned out to be far more negative than originally planned.
i swear its juice from those cherries i was eating

sometimes i get caught up in the biggest black magick trick of them all
money is as invisible as the man in the sky who invents freedom of choice and then punishes you if you make the wrong one

Retaliation! throwing out my makeup / stimulating synapses / loving shamelessly / asking questions / absorbing information /being unreasonable / never apologizing

                                                            ­death is but leaving one train for another.
if marriage is the                              fulcrum  

of your existence,


all i have for you is desperate disinterest.

what is there to talk about?
how you clean your kitchen and have submissive, dull *** once in a while?

here's a secret: he probably asked you so that he could get down your pants legally. you said yes thinking of a pretty white dress and that feeling you get watching Disney movies.



i asked a suburban woman this question:

                                                      ­   who are you living for?

hollow eyes as she laundry listed Jesus, God and every one of her family members.

no concept of self.

are you satisfied?

                                                     ­    yes. she said. i am satisfied.

how can you look at the state of the world and feel complacency? the longer i  live the more i realize

                                                        ­ that static is not an option.


girls, ladies, women

                                                            you don't need the validation.
