let her know you’re ruined now that she’s gone
write down every mistake she has ever made
collect all your dignity and pour it elsewhere
always ask whether or not she loves you
feel sorry for yourself every single day
ignore her if she tries to atone to you
pretend you never cared about her
compare her love to being in hell
make sure she feels remorseful
fall in love with someone else
tell her she ruined you again
do not ever apologize for it
use her words against her
make yourself indignant
let yourself lose touch
fill others with hate
ignore her entirely
she ruined you
**** her over
lose control
neglect it
be cold
leave
go
Each time you glance at me,
your eyes flicker perfectly, but
I often wonder what you see.

    Memories
    are like
     footprints
        in the sand.

         They tell...
          In so many
          fragmented
          tales,
         where you
         came from.

        How far
       you've walked.
       How lightly
       you've trodden.
        And how hard
         you've dug
          your toes
            in deep.

             But...
             Unlike
              footprints,
            memories
           don't get
           washed away
            so easily
             by the tide.

Living on a shoestring, but
I'm enjoying my Spring Fling
I need a break
To get away
Somewhere warm
Maybe to stay
Even for a week
To relax and play
This body is tired
Of working my life away
