i’m too busy
thinking about why it doesn’t matter
to wonder if it should.
everyone else seems to be skilled
in the art of leaving
i never was skilled in the art
of being left behind.

i wouldn’t expect a post card
if i were you.
don’t worry
i’ll try my best to miss you
at some point.
n. something beautiful will happen to me eventually, and all the people who left before it comes will wish they had stuck around a little longer.

Aging Dream

Memories, like confetti
inside breath's wind,
drifts gracefully.

Each vision captured
in hues of spiraling colors.

Every thought a vibration that tickles senses inside a mariage of dreams.

I was young once
with great promise
and grand dreams.
Now memories carry me,
as I parade
between nursing home walls.

Perhaps, soon
I shall plan my escape
to rise in a purple haze
and disappear in clouds.

  No one will know
my whereabouts,
or really care.

The air will be sweet
and birds shall throw confetti
at feet to welcome me.

There I will celebrate
and create new memories
in a symphony of love songs.
There I will be at peace.

If it comes back

Left things at goodbye
Pursued our separated lives
And we let go...

Then once upon a time,
Our paths crossed
We talked and laughed;
Everything returned.

They say if you love something,
Let it go.
If it comes back,
It's yours.

I'm still afraid --
Now that he came back,
But still he wasn't mine?
What if still, it wasn't meant to be?

I think my greatest weakness
Was that I never knew when to give up.

I fought to the death
I pushed too far
If I knew I was right
I made sure you knew too.

And I think your greatest weakness
Was that you gave up too easily.

You never screamed back,
Let me win when I shouldn't have,
Watched me defend arguments
You knew made no sense.

But one day,
Our roles changed.
You fought and I
Surrendered.

When we played "who can walk away first"
And I let you win.

i know what this is,
this is madness,
this is craving for a touch, for the
self-destructive nature
of his clutch, these are
soulmates who only
want it rough,
these are kisses
and we never get enough:
these are chances
and we only get them once.
