i am allergic to washing up liquid
and lovers who taste of day old liquor
unfortunately
neither have a warning
‘may cause irritation’
weary desperation
to scrub clean
every thought of us remaining

my hands are sore from rubbing
my eyes are bloodshot too
crying
sharp hot tears of
glistening glass, cutting at my cheek

every shattered word you said
a piercing pool of lies
next time
will be different
raised voices as high as the expectations

sober me from you
i’ll go cold ’til i no longer feel you rushing my system
addictive coffee skinned boy
drunk on the idea of forgetting you
maybe this relationship be a blur like the night before
that's how I would liken it
maybe we'd be happier surviving on the memories alone
drink me down
throw away the bottle

i can only imagine how your head feels from the hangover
well that's how my heart feels
over

Killing fields in Texas are no place for a pull over love affair,
Even if you're thinking about voting for the Zodiac Killer in this election.
Velvet skin against corn husks that look like the birds nesting on Trump's head -
It's no wonder they're so painful, but it doesn't hurt as much when you're loving a man who has more experience than Bernie has years;
No one has to know about this, baby, just as long as you promise to always love me and never send me any emails.

What do I owe to you
Who loved me deep and long?
You never gave my spirit wings
Nor gave my heart a song.
But oh, to him I loved,
Who loved me not at all,
I owe the open gate
That leads through heaven’s wall!
(By Sara Teasdale)

እዳ

በደንብ ጠበቅ አድርገህ ላፈቀርከኝ
የምከፍለው ምን ወሮታ አለኝ?
ለነፍሴ ክንፍ አለገስካት
ለልቤም መዝሙር አልሰጠሃት፣
ግን፣ ውይ፣ ለወደድኩት ላላፈቀረኝ፣
ዕዳ አለብኝ፣ በሩን ያለው ከፈት፣
በግድግዳወ አርጎ ሠተት
የሚያዘልቅ ወደ ገነት!

Heartache

Me- broken,hurt.
My heart-shattered, destroyed.
My eyes - swelled from crying,
Tears that have no end.
My face - aching for your carress.
My lips- missing yours on mine.
My hair- flowing in the cold wind.
My body - not safe anymore,cause your embrace is gone.

My limbs-numb...
My ******* - just miss your mouth and your cool hands
My waist -no longer feels small cause your hugs are gone
My soul - darkness has embraced.

My ***** - starved from your skilled tongue
My insides- crave your fingers
My body- no longer enjoys touch
Cause is not yours, and that's what it wants.

My mind, my soul, my body...
I gave it to you all!

What else you needed?
What else could I have given?
When all I had, myself,
I surrendered all to you!

I want it all back!
You robbed me!
You're a thief, a liar and a cheat!

I hate that I still love you.
I hate that I still grieve.
I hate I ever met you.
Emptiness I would have chosen,
Over this!
