It’s never free
There is always a cost

Unrequited

If anyone but you
Had told me not to talk to you
They would never have succeeded
I let you go
Because you asked me to.

A prayer to my murdered muse

I have done you
Oh, so wrong.
I have never given you
What you need
Forgive my failure

Back turned

I never told you a lie
I was honest from the start
You knew about my wife
You knew who I was
You accepted the facts

Men who go home to wives who don't care

The million incandescent bulbs
that line Gibbs St
from Barrett Place to Main
go out just after midnight. Stragg
smokers sit or stand in the alley

Can you?

Can you
Unravel the lies
You tell yourself
To make it through

Scrap Metal

Driven too long with out coolant
With out lubricant, my wife
Blew the head gasket on the
old Buick century.
Now lifeless on the flatbed. Wait

Letting go

Letting go
Is not a choice
That I can just make
There are no simple steps
I can mechanically perform

Constancy

This is where I am
Though I fail to treasure it
I am still right here

Battle worn

The battle rages on
Leaves me weary
Restless and weak
But at
This moment

Who Are You?

Are you the person I met?
The person I fell in love with?
Were you really just someone else;
Trying to be what you thought I w
Are you anyone?

The Cost

Our love cost you dear
It cost you all
A price I would have willingly pa
Though that cost
Sadly landed on you

Fear actualized

Wondering
Wandering
Quagmire
My own creation

bittersweet

I didn’t know what it was like to
then you showed me what it was lik
I didn’t know what it was like to
Then you came along and accepted m
I didn’t know I could feel so dee

Do you really hate me?

once you loved me
i know this is true
its veracity is beyond a doubt
once your face lit up
when I entered your vision

Take care
In how you engage
the battle of
who can care less.

I'll take your silence as refusal

I don’t know

But if you do

Pieces

It is a myth
When they say
“The pieces you give away
You never get back”

Who am I?

Who am I now?
I’m not the man I was before
You’ve changed something
Done something big
You’ve opened up a door

Fire

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

One year ago

One year ago
We were nearly lovers
One year ago
The closest of friends
One year ago

Walking away

You made it look so easy
Walking away
You made it look like
It was nothing special

Holding on

You are a pain I can’t put out of
You are an ache I can’t cease to
The momentary joy worth limitless
Knowing the pain that was before m
I chose to embrace that momentary

Possession

She was never mine
I was never her’s
Neither loved as a possession
Both possessed
By the love we shared

What have you done?

I’m not sure whether I love or ha
The me I am because of you
You reminded me
How good it felt
To feel without reserve

What's not to love

I love your grace
Always seeing beyond
The ruins left
In the wake of sin
I love your strength

Going Back

Spent my whole life
In a war zone
Where everyman
proves his metal
by showing

We cross one another

In the street.
Pensive glares pregnant
with meaning. Imagined
Memories. Greetings between
Former lovers wrenched

Still holding (though I want to let go)

Hope is so elusive
It just won’t come near
Hopelessness and foolishness
Grasping to things that just aren’
I can’t seem to find freedom

Too many times

Too many times you told me
Too many times “if I had known”
Too many times “ I wouldn’t do it
Too many times “ I fell too far s
Too many times I never measured u

The Callous

It didn’t happen all at once
The stress of impact
And the heat of friction
Combined
Has a natural result

Tableau

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

What am I hoping for?

One more meeting
Just one more
Rendezvous
And the courage
To speak up

A day in August

There was a day.
it was in August
we visited your mother
in the hospital. Afterwards we wen

To have kept you

To have kept you
Would have
cost me
Nothing
To have lost you

Something; more or less

2015-01-12-22-48-02
I’m on to something new
Just trying to get over you
What in the world am I thinking?
Was it really that much?
