did you
see
as I drowned
in the sea?
did you
see
that I wasn’t being
me?
did you
see
that my lock
had lost its key?
did you
see
that I was down
on my knee?
did you
see
I thought we were meant
to be?
did you
see
that now I cut you
free?
did you
see
the red strings cut
to one from we.
No.
You didn’t.

Cultivated comments,
and cunning comebacks.
Dark disappearances,
and dangerous distance.
Longing laughter
and lingering loss.
Mysterious manners,
and murky moments.
Stolen stares,
and silent secrets.
Am I dancing
alone
or are you
holding my hand?

My knuckles
are white.
My grip
is too tight.
My heart
longs to bite.
This
was never right.
I no longer
have my might.
The dusk
has turned to night.
The end
is in sight.
I have lost
the fight.
And so…
I
let
go

I know
who I
am.
(thoughts
of you
always
in my head…)
I know
exactly
how to
destroy
myself.
(i see us
on repeat
as i dream
through the day…)
You
did not do
anything
wrong.
I
will take
total
fault.
(for the
feelings
are mine
alone…)
I
am
destroyed.
I
am
also
my destroyer.
(….)
I promise
I’ll disappear
and you will
never
see me again.
(i may be the devil
but i am the angel too.)
I
will save
you
from me.
(goodbye, my love)

It happens
when we look
each other
in the eyes.
I see stars,
a cup
with two straws,
a pair of rings
perfectly matched.
It happens
when our hands
draw
together.
I feel the heat
from your skin
and shiver
from the cold
in mine.
It happens
when we are
so close
but not quite
chest to chest.
You lean down
while I
rise up
on the balls
of my feet.
We are not
even
touching.
But it feels
like we are.
My head
is a beautiful
home for us.
But …
be honest,
please,
what
do
you
see?

You looked
at me.
Each of us standing
as far apart
as the room
would allow
and when
I saw you
(just like a million times before)
I wanted
you.
Your name
was my world.
And then…
You
looked
at
me.
But I had
never
said
a word
aloud.

I thought
I could handle
it
when I wished
for you.
I just
wanted a friend.
Someone
to be around.
Someone
to hold onto.
It didn’t matter
if you liked
me back.
I just thought
being near you
would be enough.
And it was…
for a bit.
Who knew
feelings
of a drizzle
could grow
into the rain
of a storm
that would spin
and spin
and pour
and pour
until I realized
all my thoughts
were drenched with
you.
I was naive.
My heart
can’t handle
this hurricane.
And you
have no idea
that I’m drowning.

Ha ha ha!
It’s been
four months
since I’ve seen you last
when there was ice
in the air
and biting frost
grazing through my hair
but you were warm
like the sun,
warming my cold,
I know we had fun.
Now you’re back
and it’s summer
but I
don’t really
know how to explain.
Something’s cool
in your smile
and it’s starting
to show
that you’ve changed.
Was I just
something
to pass the
snowy time?
A chip of ice
to cool down
your flame.
That blonde
you’re looking at
now is damn fine.
Looks like heat
is more within
your sight line.
I can see through
that facade
like a window
of cracked glass.
Seasons change,
connections don’t
last.
I guess
I was just
a cool breeze
to make the time
pass.
How funny.
Ha.
Ha.
Ha

I don’t
know
what hurts more.
Pretending
that it’s
real
or realizing that
it really is
just
pretend.

God
I fall
in love
so easily.
The curve
of a smile.
The timbre
of a voice.
The burst
of a laugh
from deep
in the soul.
Sometimes,
it is even as simple
as a glance.
One saved
just for me.
One that will
only
live and breathe
in that moment
that is already
gone…
So
many
choices,
and me,
with
no
chance.
