Warming

Bodies on the beach Burning under methane skies Summer’s longer now

Valentine 

Another midnight ride at your house we would meet it was easy to hide roses under your seat

Stumbling up the stairs I would look to your star not aware this affair wouldn’t go very far

Still, I loved hard and fast and you left me the same we were doomed to not last it was part of the game

Never noticed before but I smell your deceit rose petals on the floor in the Hyundai backseat.

Empathy for the Empathetic 

Heavy  is the burden of the empathetic  to be anything besides kind hearted

One Way Street

I had a feeling this was the last time I’d  feel anything speeding through suburbia I’m desperate to be home ten and two melting in my palms  as I kiss plastic exhaling icy metal 

I had a feeling this was the last time I’d feel anything  so, I painted my nails black and he blocked my number me, the boy on his phone me, the boy in his hands

I had a feeling this was the last time I’d feel anything so, I turned to stone and carved you into me my love language is blunt toothed chisels

I have a feeling this is the last time I’ll feel anything so, I turn the radio on check my reflection and drive to you.

P.S.

Perhaps a chain lies between us Linking us at our hips Eating away at our wrists And Swallowing our pain Endlessly

Still, you find a way To break the chain After promising  You’ll stay.
