Its all so easy to live for some

Just eat and pray and laugh and come

by to check on me

Just to smile at me and know you've faced the thing you love

Which time has left with a dove

          thats deaf 

          and dumb

It can fly but its alone

surrounded by the ghosts of some

Time has its way

as it slowly separates.

A lariat to keep at bay

That which seems to say

i love you and one day you will go away

and the time that we had

it fades 

in haze

and the faces I should have gazed upon

arnt even a dream

They're just fucking gone.

The poets are all lying when they say love is like a spool

of gold, a spoonful of honey. There’s no fireflies dancing

in veins. All you have to offer is fields worth of red silk,

and we both know I’ve always preferred the rhythm of

moth wings. I swaddle my heart like a cocoon, stuff the

inside with bees. Train it like a guard dog. Your voice

sends the buzzing into overdrive. I send my bloodstream

out for a monthly fire drill. Have it line up, call the names,

make sure we didn’t lose another piece in the flames. You

come slowly, all pollen laced fingertips, tempt even the

most well-behaved hive.

Don't pretend

You don't know

Exactly what 

You're doing.

You know

You're getting

Inside my head,

Messing me up

And dragging

Me down again.

Breaking my 

Barely beating,

Banged up heart.

You're giving me

False hope,

And taking me

From the one

Who can actually

Make me happy. 

If you remember

last December;

a muslim band was reeling 

and a wall was in the dealing.

Then later, it was just him having a bad fealing.

What's next, he professes in these days?

Making America Great sounds depraved.

We thought, his calmer speech writer, would help what he says.

So don't feel bad,

who is next to be put in the dump.

Just know you didn't just get politically played;

you got trumped. 

I was so far out of your league.

I don't care if I sound vain -

You should've treated me like a princess

Instead of making me think I was insane.

I've seen the women you've been with since,

I've seen the women you were with before.

I'm looking pristine, like a flawless diamond

Compared to the white trash and whores.

It's not like your a catch or a prize yourself-

Yellow teeth, you're fat and going bald.

You're not that smart and you're not funny,

Your face looks like it got mauled.

Remember when I got a promotion at work?

You made me feel guilty and sad.

Your Chauvinistic ideas belong in the past.

An opinionated woman is NOT bad!

You're lousy in bed, you're a 2 pump chump.

It's called a clit, do you need a map?

A girl that always finishes herself alone

Will soon find herself a new chap!

My new guy is 25 and he's hot.

Is that why seeing him makes you sick?

Would it help to know his sex game is raw?And oh yeah....he's got a bigger dick.

He's creative and kinky and down for it all

Never shames me or intentionally hurts.

He smacks my ass and talks dirty in my ear

Swear to God, he even makes me squirt.

I had no idea my body could do that.

Mr Missionary, Mr 2 Minute Prude

We have clamps and toys you wouldn't believe

His youth and exuberance is always in the mood.

But enough of that, I've gone off track

It's not nice for me to be so petty.

It's just that I hate your stinking guts

Can you just kill yourself already?

Because we're back to court again shortly

Why do you keep fighting this divorce?

Hand over my son, you pathetic shit.

I'm done talking, I'm ready to use force.

18 months is far too long,

Just because you enjoy drama.

Quit treating court like we're having a date

Go cry about me to your mama.

I could blow your brains out, or run you down

And a jury would acquit, let me go

If I don't become a divorcee soon

Then I'm just going to become a widow.

I love you. And I'm sorry I hurt you. You were the only good thing that has ever happened to me. Every time I hear your name the only thing I can think of is your lips on my skin when we sat watching movies. And your smile when you looked at me. My heart continues to break every time I hear of you being gone. I wish things were different. I deserve the things you said to me when I broke it off with you. In all honesty, I screwed up. My fault. All my fault.

Hello, goodbye.

Isn't this just another one?

I'm waiting to see you again. So don't you dare cry.

Because I'm waiting and watching.

And knowing that I made you cry-

This isn't a goodbye,

Not one that lasts forever.

I'm still waiting, on the other side,

To say,

Hello.
