Over Time
Over time I fear
I will forget all
the little things
about you.
The fine lines around your eyes.
The hazel green of your irises.
The blonde hair upon your arms.
The fading ink of your tattoos…
But even though
I may forget all these
little things…
I know I will never forget
the way you made me feel.
Brewing
When the storm closes in
and the lightning finally strikes…
Will you hold me a bit closer
or reach for the knife?
Just know I’ll understand
if you do decide to smite…
Because I was the thunder
that led to this night.
Erased
Sometimes I wish I could
wipe away my memories of you.
Like writings on a chalkboard.
Leaving nothing behind but
fine white dust
and faded broken outlines.
But I know that even if my mind
could somehow be erased…
I’d still remember
every part of your face.
New Day
Declared
How did it feel
when your mind left your body…
and you were declared dead.
Those stunning green eyes
once filled with life…
now hidden by those
black, fixed pupils.
Your every orifice
now holds tubes…
only to preserve
what’s left of you.
But not for you.
For someone deserving
of life…
or perhaps a second chance.
Now we sit here…
listening to these constant,
sharp, monitoring beeps…
my paperwork completed.
Soon the harvesters will take you
for your last salvageable parts…
like crops in a sterile field.
Brain-dead… yet still very much alive.
So was it worth it?
That one last fucking high?
At the Lake
Sunflower
Time
Why do you have to
move so stubbornly fast?
I feel as if I’m
just watching you
silently slipping
away from me…
Like precious grains
in my own hourglass.
Mirage
When you’re staring
across the room
what do you see?
Is it really only her…
Or are you just imagining me?
