#ultimatum
It rained the first day I was without you.
How could I blame it,
I cried too.
...even if you didn't see it.
...even if you didn't feel it…
It rained for you;
For the pain I gave you,
That spilled down the curves of your face.
Open handed and un-expecting,
Open hearted and undeserving,
To receive this awful reward
Earned with love and kisses.
Peering out from hollow eyes
Inside I collapsed;
More than you know,
More than you could know.
To see your face,
Knotted with sour tears
And broken mirrors.
Who would surrender
What bargain they had made
When time comes collecting?
But time did come,
And I gave you up.
How words seem harder
When they're at your feet
And not your mouth.

Will me now to leap the narrow valley
Between these moments apart
Though if you commanded my collapse
I'd treasure my last sight of you

If I give up now I'll never live it down ,
To see me find love shouldn't be the focus now,
I gotta find my way through those leaves…..
You stabbed me in heart baby....
You should have know better....
My wanderlust just burned without having you as someone that
Would be my friend,
But you're not.....
I guess I hate you but I don't have to show it...
And now you know....
Building my whole world around you but you found a crawl space
And filled my eyes with tears and massive regret towards you,
Like how could you , I thought that you would choose me but.....
I was wrong baby,
I was wrong,
You have yourself a good time! Without me,
Cause I'll be fine.

I pulled the door open, prayed.
Hoped I wouldn't see your smile
bright and shiny behind the tile.
My breath died a moment, when I
heard my name in your voice,
my feet had to make a choice.
My eyes closed and I walked.
You small talked me,
as you stirred sugar in my coffee.
You asked about my weekend,
how Natalie's hangover faired.
My true feelings were dared.
"You want to know how I'm doing? I am
Livid.
Depressed.
Scared.
Distraught.
"I trusted you, Matt. You promised me! I BELIEVED YOU!
"Good-bye."
My eyes opened and I walked.
You small talked me,
as you stirred sugar in my coffee.
You asked about my weekend,
how Natalie's hangover faired.
My true feelings were spared.
"Thanks for the coffee."
I trusted too much.
Barricaded too late.
It's my fault.
I thought you were the exception,
but who am I to believe
any one would choose me?

my connection to words,
the string of abstract thoughts,
has been severed by the scissors of the three sisters.
one word obnoxiously grabs hold,
every day, jamming traffic in my head.
your name is the apocalypse.
I lowered my army of defense,
cleared a path to let you in,
believed your promises to me.
you lied.

You say you’ll give me everything
But all I get from you
Is a lot of promises
And kitchy kitchy koo.
You said I’d get a diamond ring
Before the week was through.
Then you said you lost your job
And wanted kitchy koo.
The washing machine
No longer works
And neither do you.
I wish I was exaggerating,
But every word is true.
All I get to look forward to
Is kitchy Kitchy Koo.
Kitchy kitchy koo
When it all begins.
It’s a lot of fun till when
All the kitchy koo ends
You best start out as friends.
Our love life is super hot
But there are other things to do.
Life involves so much more
Than kitchy kitchy koo.
Groceries and cleaning matter
Though not that much to you.
It’s too bad you don’t get paid
For kitchy kitchy koo.
I never thought I would complain
About making love with you.
It isn’t that part that bothers me
So, let me drop the other shoe.
There are seven days every week
And things we adults must do.
And only a tiny percent of that
Involves kitchy kitchy koo.
Kitchy kitchy koo
It’s a catchy rhyme
Just have fun all the time.
When the kitchy koo ends
We may just part as friends.

'Be there, in the park by the lake. by three
Or we're through'
I paced my room
I ruminated disconsolately,
Would being through be so bad?
Was I squandering my life?
It came quarter to and I left
I thought 'If a bus comes,
And I get there on time,
So be it'.
The bus came, and I turned the other way.

Dived into the light,
Anchored to the greatness,
Of one and only,
The ultimate Creator.
