Even now
After you are no longer found
In the physical of my life
I still feel your hands
Around my throat
And covering my lips
I will bite your palm again and again
Favoring the taste of blood
Over that of silence

As well watered soil
Is to growing plants
A broken heart
Is the perfect condition
For the best
Of my poetry.

Even if I never write
Anything great at all
Know that I have
Given my best
Know that I have
Said my all

I looked to the stars
And said
I am your student
Teach me of death

One of the faces
That I keep in my closet
Belongs to her

She has seen
The skeletons that dance and rattle
And the pale face that knows fear

With a blurred vision
I watch the words of love
Wash away like a sight in dark

Sometimes I think
Anxiety makes me a bad person
But I'm too depressed to fix it

I did something wrong once
I take that as a solidifying truth
For my abhorrence
