Sometimes I catch myself
sighing your name to the
nothing that surrounds me.

It lingers in the air,
as I wait for a soft response,
but all I receive is the harsh
silence and a reminder
of your absence.
You sure have a way with moisture.
Your ability to make me cry
From my eyes, from my lips
From my heart, from my hips
Never ceases to amaze me.
As the rain commences outside of my window,
You create a storm inside my bed.
And as you hold me tightly afterward,
You create a storm in my head.
Where the thunder triggers passion,
And the lightning strikes down doubt,
Where the hail inflicts pain,
And where no umbrella can help.
In a puddle somewhere near,
There’s a reflection of us two.
And with every sweet rain drop,
I lose a piece of you.
well, it's not that
     i guess i'm just so insanely
                                jealous
that they can cuddle
                 hold hands
                 put their faces close
                 and whisper
                 words of love
                 with gentle grazes
                 or adjusting postures
                 to be closer

i don't like
                 that you're too far away
                         for us to ever even hug
                                      i'd **** for a hug some days
           -most days-           not just a hug
                                                  but a hug with you
                                                                    only you

If you treat me like dirt,
I will become dirt
And I will lay there.
And I will not move until you move me.
Then you'll feel how "insignificant" I really am.
I've always been banging my head into walls,
Started at age two.
It has gotten me a lot farther than you think.
Saying your name brings me so much exhaustion
That I could faint by the time
The first syllable exists my lips.
If I ever start to make sense,
Let me know.
It means I'm starting to lose it,
Well actually,
Starting to find it.
Tragically I fear my subconscious has been looking for "it"
On my days off.
I believe you taught it to do that?
**** you.
you were too nice today
            i'm just waiting
    for a knife
                             to be
                   embeded in my back
   the next time
         we hug

I cooked amazing baby carrots today.
I honestly thought I was going to die.
This is not a joke.
They were so good that I was caught totally off guard.
I was so cared.
It made me want to run right out the front door,
And down the street,
And all the way to Boston.
You could not possibly understand.
If we could control emotions,
We would have done so already.
We'd all be steady.

The only fear of love that I am capable of feeling is fear of one who does not love at all.
