For Life Demands It
...I have read a lot of books
Not sure what I remember of them
Written a lot of poetry
Yet cannot recite any of it
I have lived a lot of days
Faint memories entwined

against the skin of wet asphalt,

Black as a dog, clouds roll by without end.
A warning flash of lightning is my dread
Another surge of dark thoughts will descend.

rough draft of the I don't care

With the hushed melody of frazzle...

Last breath
...I close my eyes,
Be still my heart,
I’m not ready to be apart,
Beating deep,
A saddened heart,
Nobody said it would be this hard,
Pain runs deep,
Flowing in these veins of mine,
Forever w...
