And That Night. (April 2011)

The pinkies go numb first.

I feel myself shake my head

as the memories pass by, all lies.

And I felt myself being dragged down

that path about 79 too many times.

Eyes sore, can’t tell if it’s from the war

or the storm.

Either way, it’s hard to look at you.

Cuz every time I talk too much,

and start to blush,

your face gets scared.

We pass by the dumbest ****

Similar sidewalks remind me of long talks,

I’m ready for bedtime.

I fall into times where you close your eyes

and your speed starts to compromise, but no.

Quite faster than slow

running towards, reaching towards, hoping for

Death?

Say goodbye to the gentleman, no help up, no chair.

Clenched fists, you feel without finger tips

you touched me and tingles shot through my spine,

remembering your hand in mine.

My heart beats way too fast for you.

Others stare and share and speak compliments,

the words only sound right coming from you.

6:51, lights on.

The puddles have me following you too closely.

Julie in the sky with no moon, it’s lost without you.
