i need you gone
and not with the wind,
because it will bring you
back again.

10 words
for the grown ups
As I dance upon the bones
In the graveyard of my past
I begin to sink into oblivion
All sense of human dissipates
Like the flesh that has no breath
I feel the void of death
The emptiness within my soul
That left me long ago
I fall to my knees
Bruised and torn from a beating
That life so grotesquely gifts
I gorge on the dirt that buries the dead
Choking on the lies they all kept
Seeing right through them
As the ghost sees through life
And so I tell you my friend
The air that fills your lungs
Will be the murderer of us all
You breath the convoluted words
That cursed humanity in a kiss
So eat your demons with me
And walk upon the cemetery
That I have claimed my home
I always
wonder
if she's
actually
doing
okay or
if
she's
just
saying
it like
people say
*i'm fine. i'm good.
i'm alright. and
i'm okay.
Oh, Ingrid
I'm sorry
you had
to leave.

I'm sorry
I have
to stay.

i am licking
last night's prayers
off of my lips
and hoping that
this can
still be made
right

she says
you have become
so good at
rationalizing your
fears
that you've come
to a place where
you're not even
realizing when
you have a chance
if you would just
try


and i started to
think
what if i never
become
more than
seventy-five percent
of what i could
be

why
is       it
so hard to
tell          you
g o o d n i g h t
when i know
i'll see you
again
come
morning?
i read once that
the soul doesn't know
time   or   reason,   it   only
understands when it's
not whole.  i guess
that means
you're
m   y
missing
piece  ,  the
one    i've    thought
was too lost to be found
(my      hands      don't
s h a k e     w h e n
y  o  u   '  r  e
around)
Devon tried
but his hands
were sticky and his voice,
shaky, and so
I refused to
look him in the
eyes.
