The Weight of Intangibles
Sometimes, I feel completely alone. No matter how much I try to reach out, or try to connect. Sometimes, I feel unwanted. No matter how much love I pour out, or try to perfect. Sometimes, I feel misunderstood. No matter how much I try to explain, or try to correct. My delivery always seems off or lost in translation. I’m told that...

Premium Member Hurts So Good
She is deliciously unhappy. Listening to heartbreak songs in minor keys, the melodies seem to flick her heart…flick,flick…Like the 4th grade bully who sneaks up behind everyone to flick an ear, thinking causing jolts of pain is the funniest thing since The Three Stooges. Yea, that's...

YOU TOLD ME
You told me you could never leave You told me you would never say goodbye You told me you never wanted to be free But you told me a lie—just another goodbye Your words were empty, your promises all broken You had me believing, but now I just cry Your ‘I love yous’ were just lies you told” Trying to forget but...

When love hurts
When love hurts its like a blink when in need of full attention when love hurts its like the birth of sin still in need of redemption when love hurts I sit under the moon with my insides turning inside out with loneliness coming to rescue me again when love hurts the only thing I see is us...

Start it over
Old yet young, accomplished yet diminished. Regret with anger and pain, life hasn’t started and yet it feels as it has ended before it has begun. Has it ended for the mistakes I made or because I will have to live a life without you. Is life worth living for if you do not exist in mine. Dull...

Life Is But A Dream
Row, row, row your boat Violently through the river Up creek without a paddle There is nothing left to give her Row, row, row your boat Crashing into the shore Choking on all the sea foam The venom of The Whore Row, row, row...

In Love, a Soliloquy
My heart shatters with every harsh word, saddened glance, and argument. I can feel it being ripped from my body and thrown into the depths of my stomach. The only thing that ever heals it, is your love and kindness. I am forever grateful to you for every breath I take, every sight I get...

A plate of love
Recently, I have felt awfully starved. I look around to see everyone filled  to the brim with love. The aroma of romance makes me want  to lose my mind. I'm happy my friends are well fed. They deserve it. Served on a silver plate, a plentiful diet. One that will keep them full forever. But me on the other hand? My teeth have gone soft, and my...

Astrophilia
When mother asked me what I dreamed of becoming, I never thought I’d say: an astronomer. But here I am: hair undone, in a wine-blotched slip tracking you, the moon around my earth. I didn’t plan on this, but I know I’m doomed to be fascinated by how the nebula behind you quietly blossoms— It ignites your hair, which I’ve imagined to be velvet against my fingers. I...

No reprieve
You take joy in seeing my heart bleed, Because of your avarice and greed. The pains you caused come with no reprieve, Yet you’ve the audacity to leave. I invested every ounce in you, Your ponderings control all I do. My bitter cries you heedlessly sought, Yet you’re blind to the hatred you brought. How can your mind ever be at peace, When the...

Foothold on the sun
My heart sings as I walk on springs, With foothold on the sun, unburned. Your love fills my heart, my soul, My whole being. I swim in love – I fly without wings. Joy clings to my feet, Gratitude fills my mouth. So I sing, I dance in the air, My claps echo with harmony. Happiness knows no rival Since you arrived with your love. Your...

All of Me Misses You
My hand longs to hold yours once more My arms mourn the loss of your embrace My lips wait to kiss those they adore My mind plays images of your face My stomach lacks the butterflies That once ran rampant with you It's something with goodbyes They will do that to you Ever part of me knows something is gone I know you're far...

Time and Space
I bring you to a place Where between us Is time and space So far away Though I wish it not And always ahead a day This place is loud It's thunder claps It's screams in a crowd It's violent and bold It's waves crashing It's fire taking hold It's quiet and shape It's a dagger and a blade It's haunting notes on a harp It's thoughts screaming It's silence deafening It's...

Rusty Knife
The job is done Bruises and broken bones He will live to see another day "Just end him already" chants the crowd F*cking psychopaths Poor guy got what he deserved Lucky him I made up my mind already How sick you have got to be To yell like that for a blood bath He made his mistakes like everyone else And yet, people act like...
