earth in between.
if she knew what hid beneath this mask
she’d fly half way around the world
so the earth would separate us.
gravity would be pulling us together
the earth would be pushing us apart
we’d never be close, but we’d never be far.
The Soldier
The young soldier sat against the tree. He looked around and saw what misery war could bring, and questioned it’s purpose.
He held her in his arms. One last embrace. He brought her cold and steely lips to his.
He pulled the trigger. And swallowed the bullet.
He wondered, “Will she say yes?”
one looks towards
the other looks away
i have gone cross eyed
in trying to decide
Heartbeat so cold
Carry me
Bring me close and warm
I’ve Tried to Forget You
I tried to forget you.
I hid you away in the recesses of my mind.
I’ve tried to kill
my infatuation,
my intrigue,
my desires for you.
It would be better that way.
Less heart break.
for me
for you.
But then,
then I realized something,
I’m much happier when you’re on my mind.
Life is livable when I can remember
your smile,
your laughter,
when I whisper
your name as I drift off to sleep.
I may never have you,
but for now
you’re all I have.
