My Heart Burns
My knees wobble
my feet are glued
my stomach turns
my heart burns
my head runs, miles per second
and I’m undo
because you rang.
Something extremely short, but sweet I hope?

120MPH
Racing down this road
at 120mph
we’re speeding through time,
faces blur, words slur
forgotten days, forgotten weeks;
we’re speeding through time
at 120mph
I hope we don’t get caught
by the blue flashing light;
we’re speeding through time
at 120mph
just you and I in the front seat
touching now and then;
we’re speeding, we’re flying
we’re defying the rules,
until you throw this car
into full reverse;
we’re back, back [...]

The Monster
It creeps out of dark corners
it slithers into view
it crawls into my head
it slides beneath my radar–
this monster, it coaxes me
it unravels me, entices me–
you are the monster,
you are the creeper,
slithering, crawling,

you are the monster in my head,
you are the taunting in my bed–
you are the monster
who taunts [...]

A Soldier
I feel alone, small and fragile,
my red hot salty tears drip,
drip, drip, drip
from my eyelids
down my cheeks
past my parted lips
trickling over my jawbone,
disappearing–
I am alone, delicate and broken,
my old, once red hot tears
have fallen, like brave soldiers–
I am afraid, afraid of solitude,
unaccompanied like those buried
deep beneath the soil we walk upon–
I am terrified, frightened and [...]

It Kisses Me
It pulls me under,
it lifts me up,
it tugs at my strings,
it grips me,
it kisses me;
his smile-
captures me.

Black Ink
There she sits stiffly
her hands clasped tightly together
no sign of movement but the
black ink that spills from her eye lids
wet tears linger on her skin
her eyes tightly shut
hoping the cascading tears will cease
lips tremble and the illusion of stillness
ends abruptly as she
seizes her body and
wraps her arms around herself
gripping on tightly
desperately hoping to feel relief
begging [...]

Our Strings
Rip the ties to our hearts,
tear at the strings bound so tightly,
wrench our lives apart,
pull our halves apart,
tug at our seams
pry us away
and let us forget;
forget and pretend;
pretend we no longer ache;
ache for the other.
