heather is a feminine body
in a suede chair under charcoal ceilings
perry is wearing
sweaters to evening dinners
katie is a black light poster
in newspaper print
alex is an origami sailboat
spoon feed yourself some more cathleen,
the cats are waiting

Here the blooming hibiscus acquiesces,
Held captive and confined to the cynosural garden,
There still a Karmic Murmur professes,
A faint reminder of the grand design we all must play our part in.

I met a girl
Her name was Katie
She sang the blues
Loved scary movies
We fell in love
And for a year
She was a blanket
Warming me up
It’s been a decade
I still love her
I’ll never get over you
Are you there, Katie?

I've spent way too long biting my tongue and grinding my teeth,
Standing back and watching in defeat.
It's time I finally see the truth in your eyes.
You never loved me, not even once,
I finally realize.

You led me on.
You made me believe that I was worth something to you,
And then you go,
And take back all your words and feelings,
And say that it was all an accident.
I still see you in my dreams,
Every night,
Everyday,
Every waking second.
My thoughts are a prison,
And you can't escape.

How could you be so blind?
I love you with all my heart.
Sometimes I feel like we should restart.
You're constantly on my mind.
You're falling behind.
You're like abstract art.
I shouldn't take your words apart.
I want us to be entertained.
Are you honestly straight?
I guess I have to wait.

You’ve never left my mind ever since the day,
You came into my life and took my breath away.
Always in my dreams I see your pretty face.
That is just something I could never erase.
So give me a chance and maybe you could see,
Exactly how much you mean to me.

I love to lend you my things
When you see them I know you think of me
Maybe you’ll even smile
That thought helps me get through the day
Until I finally see the way your mouth makes that crescent moon
Because I know you’re happy to see me too
But I’m sure you don’t get butterflies like me
Look beyond my cheshire grin
I think you’re really wonderful

You are everywhere.
My dreams consist of your beautiful skin.
My thoughts spiral with your words within.
My hellos are always meant for you.
My goodbyes are something I hate to do.
My skin is tainted with your DNA.
My fingertips search for you everyday.
You are everywhere.

You are the air I breathe,
The water I drink,
The dust that lingers,
The flowers that bloom,
But most of all,
You are the one for me.

Just as the sun is committed to coming up each morning,
Just as each day is promised,
Just as the moon and the stars will always shine,
I will love you,
And that is guaranteed.

the beginning
You dropped a seed.
I picked it up and gave it a home in myself.
the middle
It grew in my heart.
I cared so much for it,
Watered it,
As hard as it was, I even changed the soil surrounding it.
Blossomed into such a beautiful floret.
the end
You left.
The sacred efflorescence shed its petals.
My soil wasn't enough for you.**

I still feel your presence after all these years.
It's your old self, the one I fell in love with.
You've changed, for better or for worse?
Just stop haunting me.

Today I leave
You
To come
With me
There is
No other
Way

If I could,
I'd steal a star.
I'd wrap it up in the night sky
So that you'd never forget
That you're not alone.
If I could,
I'd tame the power of the sun
To create light in your world that's gone dark.
So that you could find your way out
And find happiness in a new place.
If I could,
I'd put a cloud in a bowl.
It'll be a safe place for you to hide your secrets.
And when it rains,
The clouds will take your sadness away.
If I had the power,
I'd change your world
Because the one you live in scares you.
Take my world
Make it yours.

I never really thought I’d see you again, to be honest.
I feel a little underdressed for the occasion.
There you are, wearing the same Hypocrisy you have worn for years and have seriously outgrown, but you wear it still.
Then here I am, in nothing but a worn out grudge, but hey, I tried to dress it up a little with some bitterness.
I think you and I were a little too similar, actually. Maybe that’s why we fell apart, because we were just too alike. That’s one of my scarier thoughts, but definitely not the scariest.
It isn’t an impossible theory, I guess. Though I think maybe it was more like we were two different sides of the same coin, but even if that’s true, we were a coin spinning out of control, cast off, and tossed, but not away, we were tossed into a wishing well, in the hopes that maybe the water could wash away the damage. I look through the waters we wished on every day, wondering if I’ll see you through the distorted, but transparent fluid that runs through our veins like poison because even if the ink of our promises that we wrote out on flesh, as a binding contract found its way into those dark waters of our wishing well, even it could not be as toxic as that deadly liquid we doused our loyalty in, because it was made out of wishes, and though water shouldn’t be considered equivalent to venom, never underestimate just how lethal it is, because nothing is more poisonous than something that appears pure, but is just the opposite, and truthfully, that is all you proved yourself to be.
I look through those poisoned waters made of liquid wishes and tears, but I never see you there.
Your black eyeliner was quite a change from last time I saw you, because the last year, all you did was line your eyes with Pride and Pettiness, well I’ll watch you fade off into the shadows until you become one because I don’t care anymore.
I’ll raise my hand and spread my fingers to bid you farewell so I don’t need to speak because I can’t, I’m busy choking on fire, and the smoke is leaving its trail so that if you ever want to find me, you will just need to follow the trail of ashes so that I may slam the door in your face, facing up to the fact that sometimes, even if you don’t let it go, you can stop getting involved with the burden of the past, because it’s been passed on far too many generations of different versions of myself each year.
I’m starting a new chapter, and you just don’t deserve a role in it, so when I spread those fingers, maybe the cobwebs I couldn’t bring myself to sweep away will finally blow away in the wind. The wind that is nothing but a draft coming in through the door you left open when you left just to linger in my doorway for months, well I hope I slammed your fingers in the doorframe when I finally shut it on you. You’re still waiting in the window though, naturally.
Well, my Pain and yours are a couple shades off, and I’m sort of sick of matching you anyway, so I’ll draw the curtains too, because that’s the only way to let in natural light, when the artificial lamps are outside and the candles and burning suns are indoors, away from you, after all, how could anything bright exist near someone who exudes so much forced darkness such as you?
Well, I don’t match you anymore, and thank God for that, because I certainly would look even worse than you already do dressed in that color of Hypocrisy, and just keep in mind, even though I’m wearing these grudges trimmed with bitterness, and even though that might be a pretty unflattering look for someone like me, whose very skin is woven out of Broken shards, it’s only an accessory to remind me not to forget. I wear Memories, even though you gave them to me, even though we made the together, I still like them so sure I’ll wear them, but that doesn’t really matter, because with the burdens on my wrist, I can still wear Hope.
And you never, ever will.
So maybe I’m not underdressed for this little occasion, I’m just wearing something a little out of fashion, but Hope is comfy, and I like it so that’s fine by me.

Katie Price
Had a collection
Of last season's
Brassieres
Which she indexed
With the help
Of a sincere
Bilingual reindeer
Dressed in spandex
Who for some reason
Was single.
Taxonomy
Is so important to me
Said Katie.
So they were labelled
And kept in taxis
At disused angle grinder factories
Near the Tower of Babel
So posterity
Would be able
To analyse
The finer points
Of her physiognomy.
Quite an unusual praxis
And something of an anomaly
For someone like me
Wouldn't you agree?
Cross my heart
And hope to die
I agree.
