My bedroom Has clothes Scattered all around Empty glasses of Old water ornament My end table My pillow’s full Of dried tears and Ugly expressions Somewhere, buried, there’s Two bags of junk food Crumpled up and discarded And when I wake up Every morning I choke Back bile Not just for my own sake ForContinue reading “Wasting Away”

Bereverence
1.1: Gaze upon this child As he crawls out of bed With a frown on his face And tears in his puffy, Red eyes staring down Trinkets and photos that Only remind him of his Bereverence. 1.2: Observe the despair In his canter, and the Stoicism he fails to mask Himself within. 1.3: The bereavedContinue reading “Bereverence”
Id
Activate a miserable Wednesday And wake up Thursday in the war room No longer quaking No longer puking No longer panicked No longer frantic A shadow in a man Waiting within Made of malediction And vindication Some kind of sinister Emotion wells inside Thursday in the war room I was wearing armor you made ForContinue reading “Id”

I looked up at A colorful, most obnoxiously large Plush monkey on the prizeContinue reading “What’s Fair”
Not a Knight in Shining Armor
Not a Knight in Shining Armor I still had your photos On my wall and chestplate. For some reason I hadn’t burned them Until just yesterday. So many bonfires past. I won’t forget some of those ashes. All hooks in the muscles Moving my mind through punji spikes, Trapping the trail I would’ve walked WithContinue reading “Not a Knight in Shining Armor”
Dread
Dread Waking up at three a.m. I notice you’ve undressed Somehow in the interim Entirely from pajamas They’ve slid off Just like my wave of rest Realizing my hands Are holding bare skin And I close in Ignoring what I know From yesterday And the days yet ahead I thought I’d dreamed of Sleeping besideContinue reading “Dread”
