One of the Shes

One of the Shes
She’s got it so bad
She’s counting the seasons
She’ll take to be had
She’s one of the Shes
He’s leaving behind
He’s giving her notice
But taking his time
 
One of the Shes
She’s falling in stride
She’s counting her reasons
She’s standing in line
She’s one of the Shes
He’s taking her time
He’s giving her something
But stealing her pride
 
Who would have thought
It [...]

Collected Perceptions

Now that you’ve taken everything
Tell me how does it feel to need more
Now that you’ve drank your fill
Tell me how does it feel to be bored
Now that you’ve spent all your time
How do you know you’re too late
Now when you empty your pockets
How do you sort your mistakes
 
So you put them on a shelf
Like you [...]

Injustice

What are you going to do? Arrest me? I’ve been myself for this long now, how could you think I would stop? And I never could stand injustice.
It’s been said that when I believe in something, I’m like a dog with a bone. Not the most flattering analogy, but likely true. In fact, I believe [...]

Waiting On Him

She waits
Counting hours
Days
Weeks
She’ll wait
It’s been a year now
She’s waiting
For him
 
She stays
Counting fears
Doubts
Assurances
He’ll stay
For all those tears now
She’s staying
For him
 
She hates
Counting signs
Red flags
Hunches
She hates them
There are so many
Waiting
On him

In Your Hands

[So Long; Epilogue]
 
You’re studying
Matching words and dates
Looking for a way
To make it all make sense
 
You’re combing
Catching links and cues
Chasing after trails
That lead me back to you
 
That’s my book
In your hands
That’s the story
You can’t understand
That’s my book
On your shelf
That’s my story
You’ve kept for yourself
 
And I’m just letting you
Now I’m just letting you
 
You’re reading
The pages of my [...]

The Why

There is no understanding “Why”.
Trying to comprehend, with a compassionate heart, the incomprehensible; the compassionless. It will make you crazy. 
All that needs understood is more stark and brutal than I like to be, but it is the truth still; there are people in the world who cannot be filled or satisfied. Ever. The closest they [...]

Don’t You Know?

Don’t you know?
I could say so much
Response is what you need
Don’t you know?
I see through you
And it was never me
You were talking to at all
No it wasn’t
Me you were talking to
Not at all
 
Don’t you see yet?
My lips are barely moving
I really don’t have
So much to say
Don’t you see yet?
My dreams are growing
I’ve learned to keep
Them [...]

I Saw You

A smoky golden eye. Green flashes sidelong, blazing. Shocks of bright blonde flying forward, and curls of chocolate tumble from under straw. Like clouds under sun. A warning: things are not always just what they seem. Are they?
Ensconced in shiny black, nestled in leather, giving it the gas. A satisfied purring powers down the highway [...]

Premonition

He said the words
The tingle zinging through me
Blow by blow
Just exactly like my dream
 
Or was it a dream
At all
He says the words
Again
And my gaze wanders
I see it all the same
After all
 
He says the same words
Or was it just a dream
He says the same words
And I know
 
And I know I know
And I know he knows
I know [...]
