Kafka Joint
There is is a slim line
Between an idiot
And somebody with an awkward sence of humour.

Kafka Joint
(An appropriate first phrase).
- (An appropriate rejoinder).
- (Weather or whatever else to keep the conversation going).
- (A polite excuse to finally end the misery).
- (A mutual promise to meet sometimes soon, when the weather or whatever else is better).
(Lot of drinking).

Kafka Joint
The harshest reality
I have to face
Is in my mirror.

I'm not going back in time
To fetch you,
Hurry up.

OH
Oblivious

OH
I was sleeping
With your shirt on
While she was
Sleeping next to you

Could it be
your touch
that hurts me?

Left on my arm
Black, blue, and green

These
bruises
like
to
tell
the
truth
Voice
silent
as
I
cover
myself
and
find
I still
love him

Black, blue, and green
spreads to and
above my
heart

My body a canvas
of his three favorite colors

A signature of love
From,
The Abuser
Let's just call this abusive art

There you sit
alone again
as I make my way over

Reaching out
to a cold touch
I've only known as familiar

My normal response
as I retract is
my heart isn't made
for you lover

Yet here I sit
With you again
Like I don't know any better

Won't you some day
Want to fuel the fire
Not drown me in ice surfaced water

Or will you watch as I fade
in your dark isolated space
Only someone in love could be this crazy to stay

The Calm
I started writing poetry,
Because I liked a girl

I wasn't sure if she liked me back
And insecure of the things I lack

My poem made her blush and smile
So I've been writing poems for a while
