You say the past is the past but why does it have to be? Can’t the past become the present if you let it or if you want it to? What’s stopping us from loving those we once did? I think it’s because we sometimes scare ourselves into believing we were wrong, that he didn’t […]
Taken in by your arduous words held suspended over sorrow and quiet disillusionment, I sit in reverence, in awe of your injustice to your own heart. Blood leaks from your veins in torrential rivers of regrets held fast to imaginary lines of wrong and right, and I wonder where we got so lost in between […]
Your eyes are singing to me in my sleep. Dreamy melodies drift from your gaze and serenade me with promises of nighttime love that won’t come true but still, I listen. When skies turn grey, you keep my heart wrapped up in yours, soothing my bitter ache even though your arms are apparitions in the […]
The air creeps on whispered promises and sticks in my lungs I can feel your hands and your eyes hungry to touch me to meet me with the parts of you that forgot the parts of me it’s clinging to my heart and jacketing me in coats of sand and sea water your hands and […]
Love is given every time you’re forgiven. I’ve given you endless chances to remember who we were, who we could be, but you always give up on yourself before you realize that I will take you however you are because I forgive all the flaws that you despise. You are the missing parts of me […]
Jack Daniels blindsides you into alcoholic memories of who we were on that long ago island of white and beauty. Your fingers fumble with my weathered words, reading sentiments that I meant and probably still mean even though I’m angry and exasperated and sometimes on the verge of giving up. But in the black of […]
Dark stars and sunspots and refrigerator doors. Your face in fluffy clouds and raindrops and cigarette smoke. It’s all such a mish-mosh of shadows and shards of lives lived without or within and I don’t think we can ever know someone else. Just outside cases of who we think we are. Car keys and careers […]
Sometimes I wonder if I even know you at all, if you even know yourself. How can you mistrust yourself so much? I remember a strong boy who was turning into a strong man. He believed in himself and wanted to conquer the world, burn it down and use the ashes to rebuild something beautiful. […]
I know you are out there, somewhere, wondering if I am out there, somewhere, waiting for you. You beckon me with haunting eyes brimming apprehension, calling to me, a beacon in a storm, asking me to hold on. It’s not over yet. I filed a flight plan to carry me to your shores, a one […]
I miss you. I am deserted and dying and you leave me with nothing but wasted shards of empty words. In the pitch black of night when no one hears my muffled cries, I bleed for you. In frozen melodies of ancient songs, I sing for you when no one will listen. What will I […]
