There’s a sorrow to the rhythm
That echoes through the night.
I try to picture where it goes
But to it, I find I’m blind.
I grind up glass to coat my tongue
And bite these words of mine,
But all Continue reading

I feel all my lines
Giving away.
And no one can see it
But I know it’s me.
Sitting alone
With nowhere to go.
I wish that I wasn’t
The only soul
Trying to be
More than I am.
I know you’d fight Continue reading

There’s a tingle in my fingers
Polarizing my spine.
My vision dims,
My ears turn tin,
And my tongue sharpens a knife.
There’s an echo in the hallway.
I think something’s alive.
There’s a scrape Continue reading

I’m waiting for perfection to
Filter through the dirt.
I’m waiting for my rhapsody to
Fill my soul with worth.
I’m waiting for an angel to
Free me from desire.

This Continue reading

It’s just another day.
Tell yourself

Tell yourself

Tell yourself
Someone’s left to care
For you.

When you hold the weight
Of Continue reading

I’m writing to tell you
How much I’ve missed you
Even though I’ve
Never met you.

I love when you tell me
That you adore me
Even when you
May never hold me.

I want to believe
That when we Continue reading

I still wake to feel the rain across my empty hands.
And when it dries I still feel the pain of its hollow brand.
I look into your face and see the life you fight to hide.
I remember touching all your Continue reading

You think I’m just a pause
In your spoken word
A momentary lapse
In all the things you’ve heard.
Just another chapter in
Your never-ending story.
Another blurred face
To your allegory.
You think Continue reading
