I am waiting for you
like a hungry cat—
imagining the milk
of your skin,
how I could sink into that
& risk the world
by never coming back.
I am waiting for you
like a tattoo—
a promise of forever
on my feverish lips
as they rush along
the curvature of your
earth-shaped spine.
I am waiting for you
like an addiction—
like I could overdose
on your saintly words
& collapse myself
into the holes
behind your eyes.
I am waiting for you
like a train station—
holding my breath
to let out one long whistle
of the grief in longing
against the setting sun
like a flash of blood.
I am waiting for you
like a monster—
a madness locked
in the dark of an attic,
held captive by her own
elusive sense of self
& the truths of living.
& then you appear
& I am soft, once again,
like only you can
imagine me to be.
How I only am
inside your oaken arms.

My Promises To You
I promise to always love you
Today and every day that follows
I am handing you my heart
May it go wherever yours goes
I promise to never leave you
I will stand forever by your side
There's nothing that can break us
When our hearts are intertwined
I promise that in our dying days
When nothing is as it was before
Not only will I still love you
I will love you even more

To the you who was my everything.
You can call it cliche, or even naive. Back then...
we truly thought we'd spend out lives together.
I remember it more clearly than the the days since it ended.
The day we met.
I somehow knew I had to have you in my life, I made sure it would happen.
I needed you.
You may not have known it yourself, for all you had suffered, been through, the damage you'd been dealt.
You had a light within you
You may not have known...For you I seemed like a bright light in the darkness, but you didn't know then just how deep the abyss inside me was.
I needed that light
My world became about you, for better or for worse...

Love?
I cannot imagine why Love,
my love,
my anger,
my guilt
at this moment,
consumes the remainder
of my pleasure.
It seems that
despite the silence,
my wounds
are not healing.
It doesn’t matter…
I weep in agony
and my heart
is nothing but a shackle
to bind my pulse;
my existence in this…
comfortable destruction.
Emotional walls do talk;
much like a silent smile
can break across a face,
and tears can betray.
Perfectly good emotions
fester in the soul,
and what were once traces
of complete and tender
caresses of passion while
resting in comforting arms…
are now scars;
numb,
deep,
and cold
