What Is It

what is it that brings these tears?
though it is not me 
a man sipping coffee
alone in the shop
watching others laugh 
or 
is it the thought of 
the woman sitting alone 
drinking in her room 
trying to remember 
how to
 
what is it that brings these tears?
why can't I stop?

Eating Alone

Somethings soothing 
Solitary
Sometimes your unable to swallow your food
Sadly
But now 
Enjoy the meal in company
and remain unchanged looking about 
So does the solitary feeling when all have their media out
Update

Notify
Post tone 
and fixed on company
They're there but yet
still I eat alone

Depressions

Depressions in the paper
all of ,are lined with ink
this liquid I do savior
love, purpose and time to think

Depressions in my fingers
made by the writing tool
memories do linger
learning without the learning school

Depressions in the back of my head 
made by my sleepless night
everything I love is in this bed 
praying to God I do things right

Depressions on the wall 
where I missed the head of the nail
hoping this time the fixture won't fall
even after the fail 

Where we've been and where we've went 
where is sit ,depressions will fit 

To tell what happened
the marks from before 
 
To show whats no longer there
anymore...

This Is Why

Together we dose 
freezing cold toes

Scar to scar

Heat in our love 
our blanket knows 
and so does the bed 
but the pillow sleeps on the floor instead 
hair in my face 
Oh, perfect place 
like our first night 
up to last night
on to final night. 

You've asked me why 
for the millionth time 
this is why..

...

Together we dose freezing cold toes 
you with your stud
...in your nose 
nobody knows
nobody knows 
not one word for hours on
not one.
with you

Late Bus

Cloud released from my mouth 
its cold this morning and I forgot my gloves 
half a mile down the road 
I know exactly where they are
on my counter... waiting 
early depart for a late bus 
I knew it would be late but I left early anyway
thats why I forgot them
I look back down the hill
hoping to see the late bus come along, but 
accident on the road instead
it happened right behind me  
no one hurt 
thank god
blown tire, car dive into street light 
were I would've been standing 
if I left on time 
good thing I forgot my gloves
