You used to set my blood afire
      burning my guilt to the ground,
      a dry rain quenched the blaze.
      That's when my truth was found.
     Lovers always come and go.
      Fire and rain defined my heart.
      Angels steered me home to
      try fixing lives I've ripped apart.
Show me your desires
reveal your wildfires
never mind my neglect
I have to face my regret.
I stumble over vowels and fall
slapstick like over consonants.
I use cuss words and talk about
my needs and girl parts and so
I guess I'm writing drunk again.
Truth is so hard to cough up and
put on the page naked in spotlight.
I need a little liquid courage.
I will be gone long
while you live life
into your own song
avoiding your knife.
I'll bring Sunflowers
  calling on you, Dear.
  Bouquet sworn vows
  until promises wear
  time's ragged edge
  begs my suicide flight
  from top floor ledge
  I miss tomorrow light.
Heart attack.
  Stroke.
  Cancer ate me.
  Suicide.
  Overdosed.
  Murdered.
  Bullied.
  Abandoned.
 ­ Dingo ate me.
  Aborted at birth.
The alcohol was kerosene
lust crazy house on fire.
Naked in our bed obscene
flames feeding our desire.
We're pyromaniacs in love
but always end in ashes.
Our smoke drifts above
laughter dead in glasses.
