He had great disdain for her
Enough to eliminate
The soft parts of her
He never associated the bones
To the pale girl

if you ever see
    me again,
may you not 
    see me sad.

The pendulum of pain swings
Between two winners
One winning "I love you more"
The other "I'll hurt you more"

you have the endless power
to destroy me. The 
real question is, whether you 
intend to do it or not.

My Unbreakable Heart

My heart was only made of glass
When you held it in your hands
But as soon as you let go
It was a strong, unbreakable 
Diamond

that you are so far away
from me that only
the cheek of your shadow will
be touched in this life of mine.

Lightweight Love

I can only wonder 
How to breathe 
How to think

Head pounding 
Because of me
No breath 

Bleeding arms 
Lightweight love.

You broken my heart
Before we could even start.
You seen my feelings
As objects, pieces of art.
Your choice of words are so tart.

Narcissism

you 
   me
     you 
       me 

  who do you choose
     tis' it vanity
   

   you
     you
       you
         never me

Missing You

How can I cool this
       hot desire
             without you near me?
