I want to hate you
I want to blame you
For all the pain
In my heart
I want to hate you

Little I can do
Now that I have injured you
I must disgust you

All the spaces between.
All the things left
unsaid.
They are like the air
packed into a vanilla milkshake

You drew me too deep
inside.Only
to cast me
away.
Playing

It has never changed
My heart’s inclination.
I am still drawn to you.
Having known you
I cannot see you

What are you selling
Everybody is
That thing that you have
That’s icing and fizz
Every encounter

I’ve lost it again
The words were just there
Right on the tip
Of my mind
Now they’ve descended

The cherry red tip
of ash falls from her
cigarette to make love
with a dry autumn leaf
and set the forest ablaze.

Easy to lament
Greatness touched and then gone bu
Few taste it at all

Staring down
Into my own
Oblivion
Self destruction
Impossible to escape
