holding hands, touching lips, keeping no secrets
or so She thought
there was another that kept His heart warm
another one that could
Some find it hard
choosing between heart and head,
even when the perpetrators don’t deserve
Why did you invite her
The night before our last
Why did you invite her
I had a whole night planned
Why did you invite her
I was going to take you to the moon
Why did you invite her
You put me in a box
and there is where I stayed
It was cold, dark, and lonely,
but I loved you anyway
Then a light approached me
and I took a peep outside
The air was warm and full of love,
Her face as red as her name
As she screamed
YOU CHEATED ON ME WITH HER!?
His blue eyes looked into hers
Baby, Baby no she is just green with envy of us
and our perfect purple baby
It's 20 minutes to sunrise
I'm watching the sun kiss every inch of your skin
as it awakes from its slumber and peers through the window
Skin that only God could have molded with red clay from the earth
the feeling is dark
it's burning real slow
growing and festering
the origin unknown
one day I woke and suddenly so
engulfed by emotion
and left with a foe
instinct is real
I reach the bottom floor
and turn west, toward home.
If I hurry, I’ll make it back before
the kids, and Karrin’s lethal words
can question the hickeys,
burning like Red Stars.
The sunshines through your eyes I swear they’re made of gold
Blue stained with crystal, leading to stories of the soul
I think of you almost every hour, nothings really changed
Ahh I can smell that smell from a mile away.
It's that smell of another women's perfume when he's late.
He tries to cover it up with one of those old cigars ,but that never really gets him too far.
Tonight
Getting back from our evening out
laying on his motel bed
I spoke, he spoke
We lay and talk for hours.
A feeling of supreme ease circulated
we intersected at the leg
I, perpendicular,
The man is a rogue.
A gambler and a lover.
We lay intertwined,
Spent after a moment of passion.
‘Remember,’ he says quietly,
Tousling my hair with his fingers.
The ring on his left hand
You are the best thing I have ever had
My love
My best friend
Just about my everything
Then everything changed one day
I lost you
You were no longer there for me
Couldn't wipe my tears away
they scream "we're not drunk enough!"
so I give them the golden liquor of death
150 proof and an extra bottle of gin to control their djinns
some ginseng on top so they sing sweetly
I'm twisted twisted up inside
drowning in this love for you
the knot in my throat
only worse with every fleeting moment
My brain is on fire,
My nerves feel weak,
The future is really bleak.
I am trying to keep cool,
Losing battle to changing rule,
Deep down I'm the fool.
How dishonest can people be,
This place I am, it is horribly dark.
Yet, here I will stay. I am a flightless lark.
Motionless I’ll lay.
Please, take me away.
I need this to stop,
For these yearnings to drop.
(poems go here) she said I love you to him
and kissed the cheek of another
she gave her soul to him
but promised her body to the other
it’s 12:34
and i guess i’m just
a sack of skin
caffeine replacing
my endorphins
my happiness is busy
she’s gone,
running out my nose and
streaming out of my eyes and
