Poems
Nov 2013
This is all I get as a consolation.
I don't care about my clothes.
My hairs becoming rat abodes.
I cant even brush my teeth right.
I stink up rooms like I stink up the night.
i even forget to eat right now.
I'm just like an old coffee can
you find rusted in the dust.
Sandy.
Filled to the brim with none.
These spaces in my veins run vile with molasses.
Entire family ripped out by the seams.
The sheet of linens we weaved burnt at both ends like leaves, for candles wick.
All I get left is the floor mats you left.
The walls that have our sweat on them.
You pulled the floor mat out from under my feet.
i dont have the roaches as my friends this time.
The sinks full,
no babies in it anymore.
Just an echo of her washing
the dishes with you.
I'm filling it up with water from my eyes.
While your out and about tonight.
With your ***** of a friend on our anniversary night.
Depressed doesnβt beat rock bottom.
Pressing fast forward doesnβt equal this pause in my life.
You just keep on play. ****** poem.
