some nights I remember
the things you said
in quiet tones
and the way your
...

but
if we bridle our passions
and bundle our fears
will we continue
...

some days
there are the slightest hints
of clarity
or reason
...

it came suddenly
it wasn't expected
but sought after for as long as I can remember
and now that it's here
...

I have finally eaten through the marrow of life
broken my teeth on the bones
as I let the blood spill down my chin
my neck
...

"How do you feel? "

He waited a few seconds while I stared into my glass, trying to remember the question. The waitress walked by again. She was wearing Keds. I didn't even know they still made those. I gave up.
...

...

I'd like to kill
to put to rest
every pain
that haunts your chest
...

haunted by the ghost
of what you used to know
misguided by the star
that stopped burning
...
