#oldwounds
Crisp September breeze Carries memories From too many years past. Feelings unprocessed, Echoes of uncertainty. Promises left unkept, Dreams and hopes Scattered to the four winds. And wounds untended, Deep, ugly, gnarled. Something in the chill, Hauled in on the wind, Makes the hurt return Like an old fracture That aches before a storm.

When the Wind Remembers
Your smile is an animal that still haunts me on Rainy Tuesday nights. When I'm feeling more fifteen than I ever did at fifteen. When my deadbolt ribs slide loose. "So that's what you're really like." **** you too. Some people are just too weird to love and I'm done looking for kisses.

Deadbolt
Your eyes are fire burning bright in the night sky A warning I should heed but indeed, I'm too mezmorized To turn away, face away Escape into a love that's safe instead I evade the soft light of day And follow the trail of smoke to my grave Just to spend a single day in the Insidious grace of your embrace Your Love fills my heart with bliss in clouds and waves But your absence hurts like cigarette Burns, inflicted by a paramour in a fit of jealous rage And the leftover pain seeps into my veins and seeks to drive me insane in my solitude, drowning in thoughts of you, where only death is real and only memories remain But the moment I met you everything changed I was no longer the monster my past had tried to create And though beauty may fade as suffering stays, and lingers through every recovery stage None of the love you and I shared Will ever mean nothing to me Hope is for madmen who seek heaven in the Abyss And I will love you forever   even if this is our final kiss Our farewell to bliss I'll love you Until we're both in the crypt
