The music starts.
I stand to the side. Unsure. Alone.
I am in a deep green dress, the color of your eyes.
Those eyes, sparkling like emeralds.
Those eyes that are staring from across the ballroom.
Those eyes that are...

Calculating my thoughts
down to a minute on
the clock
wondering just how long
before my heart is on 
the chopping block
seeing your face, your lips, 
the way your nipples look 
in your tank top
Reminiscing 
Kissing
Dismissing
Re-existing memories of you
Fantasies...

They spend their time in the caves,
keeping themselves warm around

saw a recent  photo of you
And thought I can handle this
Thinking you'll no longer faze me;
I'm without your potent sting

I'm in control

They’re both convinced they’re right. 

They’re...

For decades they have known each other,
touching tears, flowers, gunpowder,
and grass on the same ground,
with their bellies.
So many journeys they have walked together,
scratches and dents telling tales of their perseverance
to face the day and night...

I do not like flowers in the house

because they remind me of funerals

Of weddings too; a bride's bouquet closely knit

tightly bound with silk ribbons; tighly held.

Flowers make me sad

and still I like to see them

painted...

Where did I go wrong
Maybe we shouldn’t have met
Guess I get off on Russian roulette  

Am I trying too hard
Maybe I just don’t fit
Guess we’re not so closely knit

Should I leave you alone
Maybe I’m...

Her love is virtue,
 Closely knit their hearts mend each others broken pieces,
 Like improper fractions,
 God reserved his souvenir pocket watch to form this love,
 With his alarm set for eternity, 
This love is...

My love, a lost lone sparrow,
Has built its nest in your heart;
This, like bone and the marrow,
Yearns, in you, to be a part!

Like a weak vine with its plant,
It does with you get entwined;
