I’m starting to lose
What little patience I have
How much longer?

15
It often eludes
These old eyes have grown weary
I need forgiveness

54
Life beyond breakup
Is desolate and hostile
No love can grow there

55
With such ease you leave
Like a withering violet
I transform, I die

56
I breathe this pale air
Gasping my lungs clamor
For you, for you. You,

47
I can feel nothing
My taste buds are like dead leaves
No light do I see

45
Is she serious?
When will I finally learn?
Oh my trust fades

33
An empty bed waits
An empty room clamors
An empty heart sighs

64
I doubt if I could
Or that I’d really want to
I now know better

70
I am afraid
Of trusting like I once did
Am I ready?

65
I starve for embrace
I’m very low on love
God ****** to hell

34
Is it tomorrow?
Can it be the day after?
Or maybe never.

72
Tearful agony
Replaces where once love was
Thoughts of her are thorns

73
My belly fills up
With resentment and anger
See it in my eyes

31
She thus eludes me
Almost by divine design
I keep searching

69
As usual
The choices that I make
***** in my face

74
Do not judge this book
For the pages have been torn
Just as my heart has

75
Faint now is
The reason to smile and laugh
I pray you, help

76
Scolding water
Is what I feel when couples
Hold hands before me

77
How I hate
That I didn’t hold
And kiss you more

78
I’m tired
This burden pulls
Can’t hold on

79
A blank
Look, is my only
Souvenir, why?

80
It was my fault
I admit it, so
Much guilt

81
Distant
That place; now
Appears

32
Burned in my eyelids
Are the stinging images
That torments my dreams

66
I want to know if
This drought can be over
Its killing me

67
Dare I reason
With this smoldering fire
That will not go out?

16
Brilliantly hurt
My honor dangles, swaying
She swings, for the ****

13*
Let the seas dry out
And the birds lose their songs
True love, come, be mine
