The Peace Of Nothing

There are times when all I can do

Is pray that sleep will roll over me

Like a giant wave and pull me under

To the place where

Everything disappears

And even though I won’t feel it

I will feel nothing.

Karma

You can’t run around town

Making everyone fall in love

With that ridiculous grin

And those silly little promises

Because it’s going to catch up with you

And when it does, lover boy

It’s going to hurt.

The Light

The light at the end of the tunnel
Isn’t really a light
It’s a dry martini and a book deal.

Real Love

We used to kiss for hours

And the whole universe was

Locked between us

We didn’t think about anyone else

Where we'd live

Or what we would do

We just kissed

Making a bond

Marking a time

Forging a love

That would span forever

And now

Even though we are old and our love is

Sewn together with apologies and second chances

Even though we’ve had other loves

And a lifetime of changes

Those kisses

Those times

Those promises

Hold us together like glue

Whether they should

Or should not

Whether it’s right or wrong

They just do

They just do.

Relativity Of Loss

A boy broke my heart today
I didn’t know what to do
With the feeling of loss

Then I thought of you
My little grapefruit
(For that’s what we called you)    
Barely alive
But real enough
To dream up a whole life
With you in it
But I had to learn
To let you go

And even though you’re gone
You’re everywhere
You’re letting me know
Today should be easy.

Misinformed

You didn't think he loved you, silly girl
No, but it was wonderful letting him try.

The Idle Idol

 

I was excited that he was excited 

To make out with me all the time

And that he sent me texts

From the minute I woke up

To the moment I fell asleep

I don’t care that it didn’t last

Because when it was happening

It was one of the best feelings

In the whole world.

Online Dating Observations

Contrarian entrepreneur means
Any manner of manipulative actions
Cloaked in the excuse of individuality
In other words - disingenuity.

Disingenuity: disingenuous, an underhand dealing

Disingenuous: dishonest, insincere, deceptive, misleading

Online Dating

Liberal progressive means

They’ll screw anyone once

Then ghost them

Regardless of age, race, or sex.

Disingenuous

We both know what you were doing
To make me like you
And we know
Those last few texts were excuses
I’m not a chill girl
I have no time for someone who doesn’t know
How lucky he is to have me.

Silent Message

Her mom would say

Her expression dared you to cross her

Not that she wanted to be crossed

She didn’t go looking for trouble

It was more of a defense mechanism

In case someone got it in their head

They could mess with her.

The Illusion

 

Anyone looking in from the outside

Would imagine wishes come true in a house like ours

But all we were doing was begging for any hollow emotion 

To try and stop the disappointment.

Feeling Good

 

Satisfied because of the look on your face.
