We've come to the end
of a beautiful relationship;
right now, I just want you to know
the fact that it is ending
takes nothing away from its beauty
and its very special meaning to me.
I've loved . . . more

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

Sharp as knives,
sanguine tears

from hidden caves
of my soul,
clattering in
a dark shallow grave
where childish dreams have
become fine particles
of pretty fairy dust shifting

I forgot how to write in color
so I turned to black and white with
an ink splattered mess on my fingers
from trying to finger paint portraits
on a wrinkled canvas.
I tried to immortalize the sparkle of . . . 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

I wrote poems across the silver of your headstone,
knowing your bones were beneath my knees.
I was trying to concentrate on happy memories,
but all I could see was the "R.I.P."

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

Every corner I turn,
every dirt path I trod along,
leads me straight back
to the manhole I've climbed out of
too many times before.
I find myself endlessly searching
for a night without . . . 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.

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'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

Lately, I’ve gotten into
the annoying habit
of writing your name
across my cigarettes
in black marker.
I always go cross-eyed
when the cherry starts licking at the

like a familiar lover. . . . 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

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

I wasn’t happy, though
I would have stayed forever
in a lifetime of mediocrity,
occasionally questioning
my existence, but never
considering that there was
anything better for me
anywhere else in . . . more
