Kira Nerys
Your arms seem almost familiar
A warm hold around my heart
A utopia between your sheets
As I curl up onto your chest
Your warmth resonates upon my face
I could stay there forever
Basking in your cologne
A smell I have since missed

I find comfort in your name
Knowing you are always there
Ready to take away my pain
And lull away my worry
It’s been this way for years
But I know I can’t stay
For you will never see me as I see you
You will never long for my company
Or find solace in my gaze
You will never crave my touch
You will never love me

I want so badly not to love you
So I may hold onto you a little longer
But the comfort of your name begins to fade
Bringing sorrow and yearning for a love
That will never be returned
And for that I must go
For as long as I have you
I fear I can never love another

It could be
the nights he'd touch you
in between hotel sheets,
The way he'd
hold your hand while
walking down vacant
town streets.
It could be
the way he'd smoke your
cigarette and get
ash in your eye,
The way it felt
to kiss when we
were so high.
It could be
the nervous glance
from across a packed room,
The way you'd
prefer your stance
in the hazy gloom.
It could be
the introduction
on a starry night,
but you already recognized
him from the corner
of your eye sight.
Was he just looking too?
Why does it matter?
You already have someone,
And it's not like you're one
to look all that flattering.
Catching up and
******* up.
Why is life but a mystery?
Spending life only
filled with newly
acknowledged history.

Sometimes i want to take all 84 capsules of Prozac
and I find myself holding the bottles
Frequently  i want to pry my veins open and watch the sadness pour out
And i find myself holding a razor blade
Occasionally i want to jump off of a building
And i find myself driving towards the city
Every so often I want to wrap my car around a tree
And i find myself letting go of the wheel
Once in a blue moon I feel too full and “you’re fat you’re fat you’re fat” reverberates around my skull
And i find myself kneeling on the bathroom floor
From time to time I forget to get out of bed
a week goes by and i find myself saying “i had the flu”
Now and then i avoid my homework
And find myself staring at 27 missing assignments
No matter how i say it, i always find myself reaching toward destruction and turning away from help
I have become comfortable living with my illness
We have become inseparable
Mostly because i forgot who i was before
And i can’t remember if i liked her.
unreliable evidence or
irrefutable truth?
it's all proof
and
if that's what you need
use it.

'One way or another',
said Cain.
'I will **** my brother'

again and again,

the old God
smote more in
the olden days,
there was
lots more sinners
back then,
now
the new God
gives detention
with
the occasional smite
which is quite alright,
but only
now and again.

Do you feel threatened
by biblical scriptures?
or the rapture of love
on the run?
would you like to sit tight
against the barrel of night
and be shot full of lead
by its gun?

The eight forty two into Waterloo
was running six minutes behind
and at eight forty eight
being six minutes late
my eyes opened only to find
the unreliable evidence of an
irrefutable truth.

History makes its own decisions
and
we have little to say,
your history tomorrow
is not the history of
yesterday.

The south breeze wafts through,
Goosebumps rise upon her neck--
The breeze is my breath.
