How gossamer fades
Spitting on cotton candy
Swirling, shrinking down
The sweetness runs from your tongue
Faded remnants of glamour
Seeking to tell a meaningless story.
Spitting on cotton candy
Swirling, shrinking down
The sweetness runs from your tongue
Faded remnants of glamour
Seeking to tell a meaningless story.
Literature
The Long Road
I said I love you more than anything
Then I woke up in the back of my car.
But that's ok because the cold can't compare
to the chill that's crept into my heart.
I couldn't end your bad habits,
However much I would protest.
Every time I caught you shooting up,
It sent a needle through my chest.
There was just no way
That i could stay
When the factories closed down.
But it kills me that your daughter needs my help
Then she wonders why I'm not around.
So i dream of the day
When i drive so far away,
That we never cross each others mind again.
When suffering would fade into the distance,
And the most broken of hearts would mend.
Literature
Love, Misery
Miserable people are everywhere.
The dental hygienist sees my tattoo
and launches into her couple’s therapy.
A 45-minute check up crawls
into the skin of a toddler
who continually stops to stare and stare,
its fist falling down its throat.
“What does it mean?” She asks.
“It’s a reminder,” I try,
licking the vowels from my teeth.
There are too many people
in the room, and the ceiling keeps
spelling "company" as I swallow
down my blood.
The window becomes an eye
that never blinks, 90 minutes
finding all its eyelashes
pulled out.
Literature
Damned if I do
I held you as reverently as the sun
And felt my skin blister.
I said I'd love you till death comes marching
But with you I feel as if I'm burning.
I always said I was damned,
I just didn't think it would be with you.
