What I hate is the pretending. You pretend that I’m in the past when I’ve always been the present. Your words betrayed you too many times for the facade not to crack at least a little. I never forgot about you…just so you know…not for a minute. A simple sentiment that spoke a lifetime’s worth […]
Sometimes it’s three am and the walls look like phantoms or memories. I’m not sure which. Then it’s noon and I wonder why the sun is so bright when the shadows are so dark. Sometimes it’s raining and your voice pitter-patters on my rooftop, singing alongside the drops. Before I can think, it’s hot and […]
Is that me there in the reflections on glass-like waves, in mirrored surfaces below slate skies? Is that the me I used to be before the years ran through my hands like liquid fire burning my fingers with reminders of the past I chose to ignore? She stares back at me with eyes pinned on […]
She bleeds, dark words shimmering in the desolate distance. She’s blind to the desperate flow of her language, its meaning nothing but space between past and present, hope and pain. There is no respite, no ease, no grace, so she collects love instead, her pen draining each heart dry so she might quell her insatiable […]
I keep trying to be myself but I always end up being someone else or something else. The dirt gives way and I’m am a tumble of slips and gasps and reaches. My toes slip through the frigid air and I’m caught between you and now and it’s a mystery that finds only mismatched puzzle […]
Bridges connect us from here to there, hold the capacity to bring imaginings into reality, to bring one to another. I see us walking across that weathered bridge and stepping out onto the white sands of the past. One bridge we crossed to find each other and yet another will bring us back together when […]
“The sun rises and sets with her.” You say that a lot, so much I wonder who she is. You get destructive and angry and listen to sad songs and miss a girl I hope is me.
It would be really fucking nice to go one day, just one day without the presence of your absence to torment me, to walk all over my heart and mind because I’m tired of catching my breath when reminders sneak up on my unsuspecting feelings of what life might be like without you haunting me. […]
Always off guard, so sudden that it steals my breath in quick gulps, swift gasps of racing in mid sentence where the light is green and the tires screech leaving thick black gashes on the ground and the oxygen dissipates at light speed or whatever is faster because I heard your voice in my head […]
I’ll remember you when I close my eyes, but times have changed and now I’m not the one anymore and we are nothing but pictures of you and me wrapped in a goodbye song. I try to have patience, to wait for the next time I fall in love with someone like you, but it’s […]
