One morning
you'll wake up
and your skin will feel soft
your hair will fall perfectly
and you won't miss
him.
When the moon is waning
drink up the sleeping sky
And fall into the night

She defends you even
In your naked failings

You who would worship the
intrusion of the Sun

You who would amply deny the
Protection of evening’s grace

She is of silver and magic
the stuff made of secrecy

Behold the night in all her
Dark majesty
And she shall set you free

I sit here with the ghost of you
Talking about nothing, just enjoying the view
The look of sadness claims your face
I open my mouth, but its too late
I close my eyes and accept my fate
I cannot speak, you fade away
If only I could go with you
I'm sorry for the things I said I'd never do
If only I knew
If only I knew
Way back when, you were my friend
Forever was never meant to be
Still I wait for you to lie with me
In this bed so cold, I'm tired and alone
But the ghost of you still lingers along
Cursed by the love that I led wrong
Forever was never meant to be
If only I knew what my words could do
If only I knew what I had done to you
You move within me
this fluttering heat inside.
Drool to slow sips,
my tongue forms into your lips.

You expel at a distance,
The demons we come carrying.
As you taste me unseen
from your pillow.

I stretch and bend hoping
You’ve caught my kiss.
You cut the pain and
I take you in like medicine.

i sometimes wonder why you still visit my mood swings,
left in abandoned playgrounds between my chest.
why you still visit even though the slides may only carry you down to somebody like me.
somebody difficult to love,
somebody who cannot tell the difference between crying and laughing anymore.
why you haven't left this soul,
who's bones can't seem to find enough strength to push my side of the sea saw,
who can't seem to move past three poles on the monkey bar,
simply because of the weight on top of my shoulders.
this flesh of complete brokeness that couldn't bare ringa ring rosie,
because at some point one gets tired of always falling.
i often wonder, why me.
why me, with all my chipped paint and countless dents.
why you still visit,
when this isn't the grass on other side that's greener.
because God knows,
i'd understand if you look for a park elsewhere.
a park worthy of you.

You dream of someplace
where the men have better
reasons for calling and you
no longer feel so alone.

Where the sun shines
without the inevitability
of the rain, where the skies
aren't blackened by the
smoke of his cigarettes.

You'll exhale the fresh air,
and you won't remember
the colour of his eyes or the
scar above his left brow.

You'll forget how he
smirked when you said
that you loved him.

You're moving on, the
past will no longer suffocate
you with the fragrance of
its cheap perfume, you'll
learn to count the days rather
than to tick them off.

One day you'll step
forward without looking
back and you'll realize
you are infinite and he is
just a glitch in time.

****** mess
Red white dress.
Heaving breast
Bleeding chest.

Red on white...
A color so beautiful..
To make things right.
Makes us feel so Dutiful.

Grab a Knife
And a pen.
Use the ink of life
In the end.

Flash like a bolt.
Run while you can.
Poetic cult.
Now you understand.
Now you understand, Street Profit. You could never beat us. Started a war then backed out last minute.
