She lies in silence, spent
after the gore of the party
the meat locker of attraction
she reposes in the party dress
of dreams of the one
an ill-defined ephemeral shape
"In your arms" plays as a soundtrack
as her head massages her broken heart

This would be
the line I sent
you to tell you
how much I’ve
lost,
tell you I’ve
missed the
sound of the sea
and the smell
of the air,
let you know
I’m at the coves edge,
all I see
are winter skies;
you won’t
read it,
I will
survive

If you have a talent
then it's a shame to waste it
my talent is making
squiggly lines with squiggly
letters, so I mean
you should just do yours
already I'm sure
the world could benefit
don't waste your
limited life worrying
about if you fail

as you fade
slowly,
oozing
from my veins,
the poison
loosens its reins
I will not
know you
someday-
except a
story
of a man
and a woman

You are
the night
the night
that never
ends,
a hollow that
seeks to fill;
I’m an empty
cup,
the day
the day
that brings the light,
a star muted
that will burn bright
