Every day I sit and wait.
Feelings crushed and heart broken.
"What a fool" she whispers.
Darling I can hear you.
In such a small town,
compliments travel slowly, but gossip flys.
I'm dropping the weight to see if you'll notice.
Back then you would have seen each pound,
now it'll be weeks before you even care.
It's just that I miss you.
Walking past your doorstep at two-thirty in the morning
I wonder if you wonder about me.
Maybe I should have fixed it.
Started that fire in your basement like I had promised.
I can't go back in time though,
I'm so sorry.
Those car rides to the hotel must be so nostalgic.
Knowing that empty room
Where are you today?
Where are you? I wonder now because it smells outside
like it always did when life was a dance song.
It's like when the water turned white.
Where are you now that I can only breathe to remember
what it felt like to live in treehouses
and how it felt to sleep next to fires.
Where are you when I can never get my cheeks to warm up
and hot as they were some nights in that forest.
All I ever wanted to be was an Indian Princess.
You ruined those dreams.
Tore them down in flames and fog and all those words.
So now, we stand on these streets,
and I have a home and a life
with no treehouses or fairies. Where are you
It comes back again (like every time we speak)
and I have to find a way to curb the pain
and ache in my torso.
When all emotion runs out
and the shower stops helping when he's not around
I find I can't stop
this from coming back again.
Ripe with appropriate behavior
and insolance kept inside.
But my opinions mean nothing to you (or to me)
when this comes back again.
So, I admit defeat, and tell them all
how sorry I should really be.
Those days, and those feelings slide away like torment
until you come crawling back again.
when there is water in her eyes,
or make-up in the
creases of her fingerprints.
But when you touch - (oh ever so slightly)
it's like diving headfirst
into fucking heaven.

Backing Into An Accident
In the winter
when we held arms, and searched for a place to stand -
away from the wind and the voices
of people we would never speak to.
I found you here, alone this year.
And, when asked why you had not retrieved me,
you stated that everything had shifted and you were not well,
especially not well enough to walk the miles it would take to find me.
I've wandered away and can't get back to that place.
Mountains and highways block the passage of time where I lost you.
Now years away from each other,
I know that we won't meet again.
I can only hope that someday you will reach for me -
only to find that I have moved too quickly,

We begin this trip
by settling into areas we've gone through before.
Hitting the spots we know
(that we're used to)
before we start out into the unknown.
It's like a journey into outerspace with you
every time my head hits the pillow.
We've seen this all in another place and time.
But not here (not like this).
Not like when you mutter sweet nothings
and I do a little dance.
(It's almost like a seizure every time)
Muscle spasms and subconscious yearnings.
It's everything and nothing that we've ever talked about
(like shower conversations).
These are the words we don't use,
and this is your goodnight kiss.
Every day I sit and wait.
Feelings crushed and heart broken.

Dipped Into Your Hatred
If once you were my everything you're just a picture on my wall now. I know that that is all I am to you. It's too bad, that after everything, we only matter as much as our smiles. For everything we could have meant to each other...we mean nothing at all. I can sit here now, and write a poem about you on the internet, but in a few months I will probably erase it, and forget that it was even about you.
Because all you are is a picture on my wall.
I think you're in the wrong this time....
But then again, maybe so am I. I hate you. But, then again, I probably love you. If you have distanced yourself from me, as you say it, then why are you sitting so close? Why do your eyes turn red when I mention the wish you madde upon that star? What did you wish for? Did you wish for me? You can't have me. I am for nobodies taking.
I think you're in the wrong this time....
I refuse to take the blame for every fight we slip and fall into. When will it be your turn? Why am I a bad person for telling you to move on? Is it really wrong of me to say that I'm not worth crying over? Why do you cry? Do y
The witch Baba Yaga once baked herself bread
out of spiders and liars and red razorwire
that was garnished with flowers from the vaults of the dead,
and sweetened with lye from a childs funeral pyre.
It was light as the crisp, cracking bones on the fields
and as sharp to the taste as the ash-scattered shards
that were all that remains of the swords and the shields
of the warrior king and his bold bodyguards.
In a chicken leg hovel at the edge of a wood
the witch Baba Yaga licks the dregs from the spoons
that she used to stir soup, spiced and thickened with blood
that the dying ones spilt from their widowing wounds.
But her
