Sometimes I wonder
If thieves plunder
Just to be wanted
To be chased and haunted
For the alternative is worse
Unwanted is the true curse

if we combine our flaws together,
we could have our own garden

you cannot flourish as a flower
if you are putting yourself in a vase

the beauty of a woman
is seen in her eyes
because that is the doorway
to her heart, the place where love resides

I envy the sun —
for it always rises

Break my bones;
cut my throat.
Pull me open,
learn the ropes.

Breath me in;
taste the fear.
Shank my skin;
stand and cheer.

Kick my head;
let me bleed.
Unbolt my veins;
enjoy the read.

Gouge my eyes;
punch my face.
Wrap me up
in your embrace.

And over time,
My pen stopped bleeding
But my heart didn't
