Your words run up my back like ice,
tearing, ripping, slicing my flesh.
My soul slides out the gaping wounds,
shattering into a billion pieces on the floor.
The blood oozes as I kneel down,
covering the . . . more

My dreams were eaten
by the worm at the bottom
of your empty tequila bottle
while my body melted
from the inside out with
the bitter tears I
swallowed down.
The hollowness . . . more

I saved the dried, colorful petals
from the roses that you sent me.
My last request is to have them
crushed and mixed into the
ashes of my cremated body:
Mix the ashes with the petal
crumbs, and sprinkle . . . more

It's an ugly landscape-
gazing out across acres of mildewed romances
and the dried-out craters
of all the stars that fell out of the sky
whenever lovers uttered sobbings of farewells.

There was something I awakened
that should have been left to sleep.
It was your hand wielding
the knife in my heart so deep.
Strip away your fixed composure
and leave only your pallid face.
Your hands . . . more

Bring me down from the shelf.
Place me next to your heart,
in your shirt pocket
for safekeeping.
Take me out when you need me-
time for a break.
Relieve some stress...
draw me to your . . . more

Broken words seem to fill in places
like the unexpressed meanings
on the tip of my sinful tongue.
Chapstick smears on the mirror
like the torn rose petals on the ground,
telling the tale . . . more

I cannot blame you for me-
I am the culmination of my deeds,
both good and evil.
However tempting it may be to claim this fault not as my own,
I know that my choices mold me to the person I . . . more

Tell me how you learned to lie.
To me, your deceptions were so real.
Tell me everything, and maybe in time
I'll cause you the pain you made me feel.
As cocky as it sounds, I gave you my all.

Through the darkness I can see
your face glowing pale,
reflected in the tiniest sliver of light
that breaks the shadows.
Your rattling breath wreaks havoc
on my tortured soul.
Agonizing over your agony, . . . more

Once again,
I am here,
in the company of
nicotine, cheap wine,
and memories that seem
to do nothing but
remind me that I am alone.
And all that I can think
on nights like these
is that I want
"Hey . . . more

I love you...
with each syllable slipping
past my sore vocal chords, entwining with
every beat of my tortured heart,
screaming your name
across the silent void of loneliness.
And I just want you to . . . more

It's a cold fuel
that feeds my ferocity,
lingering and burning just below my skin
and seeping ever deeper,
burrowing and softly lulling me to impulse.
These last shadows that ripple from . . . more

To this day, the sight of such
a disgusting activity-
which is far more common than
I ever could have expected-
causes a scream to well up
inside me, originating deep

I've never felt the sudden need to cry so much.
I stay here with you for unknown reasons,
knowing damn well that I should have walked out
the first time I ever wanted to cry.
I can see it in your . . . more

All I desire is a simple release,
a haven of heroes, a palace of peace.
Yet everyday I’m left drained and weak;
no tears left to cry, no words left to speak.
Is there no sanctuary? No salvation . . . more

The roses that you gave me
sit wilted on my shelf.
And every time I see them,
it makes me hate myself.
But then, why do I keep them?
They’re distant thoughts of you.
Though there were mostly bad . . . more

I love how the thunder cracks
and rips apart my eardrums
as I stand out in the rain,
trying to be hit by a lightning bolt
to see if it warms my heart.
My heart is numb from freezing
and the rain that . . . more

The waters call me
to join them
in the dead of night,
spreading like an
aqua blanket to cover me,
my tranquilizer,
if I so choose.
The air without you
suffocates me.
Perhaps the coolness . . . more

It came in autumn, like the colors
that littered the grounds and the soft
breeze that gripped the willow limbs--
this quiet...an unsettling kind of
peace similar to the ones found in
horror movies . . . more
