#uselessness
Ever had a day that made you go gray
Ever had a day you'd wish to go away
For sale by owner open wounds,
how we where bliss in empty rooms.
Finding myself on the border of emotion,
can't handle all the commotion.
You gave me the love potion
If only I could fly away
to a much brighter day
Rather that my wings where clipped away.

The anger closes in,
Like a thick blanket,
Ten degrees too thick.
My worldview is narrowed,
The blanket weighs me down.
Heat is rising at a rapid pace,
And my thoughts become colder.
The blanket is now
chaining me down,
And I feel useless.
I want to help another,
But I cannot help their case.
It violently tears me open
To be unable to help them.
And as I think further,
The blanket grows thicker,
And tighter.

"Useless"
Why don't you use less
Our Father,
Papa in Heaven
He told us to love
Not to discourage or anger neighbors
He told us to encourage
For we are encouraged,
Deadly, the word:
Useless
So two words:
Use, less

"If it has nothing to do with me
Then why should I even be here?"
That sounded far more narcissistic
Coming out of my mouth. But
I meant exactly what I said, and
I knew exactly what I meant.
I knew exactly what I meant.

Green crooked straws
******* water from the ground
Supplying the leaves
The thorns
The petals
Helpful and delicate
The thorns
Taking
Not supplying
Anything
But blood
No beauty
Just pain
The petals
The flower
Beautiful
Colorful
Fragrant
The reason for the stem
For the thorns
The thorns protect
The stem provides
The flower blooms
Then the flower dies
The thorns once again
Useless
The stem
Preserving
Until the thorn’s time
Comes again

I had a lover once
Her eyes were wide and
Winter was chilled
Cold and draining
My hair grew dark coarse and flat
Like cardboard in a storm
Of cats and dogs and needlepoint
Pillows quilted with inspiring phrases
I had a lover once
But I spoke too soon so she changed that
With a swift hand and deft arms
Powerful legs made of iron and
Brimstone, holding me down breathless but alive, aspiring
I had a lover once
Who failed me by the heat of dawn
With liquor kisses and broken bones
Her outfits swore she never
Would wear a tomb stone
To match her boots and dresses
******* dangling like matchsticks
Bent from their case
A strong hand could start a fire
I had a lover once
I tried to give her the world
On a platter with a fork and bib
I tried to give her my life and skin
My bones and teeth and things
Made from vitamins and exercise
My soul and headphones and heartbreaks and toothaches
My t-shirt with a torn tag that read too many different sizes for me to wear and
My skeleton made of sulfur and
Eventually
Lies
I had a lover once
Who wanted me but wanted more
Who wanted more but wanted me
Who snapped and said
Leave
I had a lover once
Who is teaching me
That it'll all be okay soon
Just not right now
