Gravity

trying to get away
i run around
in circles to my dismay
round and round
smaller it grows
the center of my gravity
is you

fading black to white
escaping hues
not wanting reds or blues
white washed walls
of memories of you

tongue in cheek
there’s a story between us
you refuse to speak
i’m undone

one foot forward
two steps back
making excuses for the feelings that you lack
holding on
to thin cold sheets
waking up, alone

Buoyant

Here I am

Adrift once more

In a sea of chaos of my own making.

You are the waves.

Emotions are fierce currents.

Expectations drown, they choke.

Insanity is a the lone rescue boat.

parchment

scratching paper

this pen has run out of ink…

write with blood.

scratch surfaces of skin.

skim the bones.

squeeze the ink from that heart.

the story goes on.

this is art.

Seeking

My eyes betray me.

They wander off to where you stand.

At least, where you used to.

I cannot help it.

I wish and I pine.

Unintentional and strange.

I believe you are mine.

These eyes dart back and forth.

I am dizzy, mortified.

Afraid you will catch me looking;

You will see through my disguise.

I keep my mouth closed.

My face in an expressionless mask.

This heart is not up to the task.

But oh how my eyes betray me.

It seeks you endlessly.

 

Heartbreaker

What’s playing on repeat?

He asked with a smile.

Some random song from a random guy.

Dance with me!

He then said

Fogging my brains and clouding my  head.

Come closer, don’t be shy.

He pulled me in

Heart drowning, world spinning.

Soon enough, he let me drop.

Bleeding, broken on the floor.

That’s it

He said

I don’t want to dance, no more!

Picking up broken records

Piecing up notes in place.

What’s playing on repeat?

The next time he asks…

I’m smashing his face!

 

 

Dream On…

Sometimes, I imagine you walking

Rounding the corner

Flowers in hand.

I look away, shyly

Fighting the urge to stand.

I imagine I would be confused.

Should I smile or run?

But then you’ll stride towards me

Unyielding, so sure of your intent.

You stop, handing me the bunch

My breath catches in my throat.

I wake up from the dream, coughing.

 

S.O.S

feisty winds blowing

the weather is ominous

i await rescue

Free

These falling pieces of ash from fire embers,

Like snowflakes fall, diamonds in winter.

Stoic, I watch the ashes of your letters.

On the floor they break and scatter.

No more sweeping under the rug.

Egg shells have been walked over and crushed.

Pieces and bits blown out of the door.

Along with memories… they bother no more.

 

 

 

CRAP!

I see your eyes in every face.

I smile and blink –

It’s gone.

I search again

In this sea of strangers.

When will I learn?

You are not him.

I am not her.

You are gone forever.

Memories, they haunt me so.

All I want is to let go.

But time and again-

I see your eyes in every face.

I smile, blink back the tears.

You are gone.

Please, let me move on.
