42 (I want to feel wanted!)

 

Am I going crazy?

Yesterday I lived with him.

Today I don’t. 

Thought I’d be smart

And I’d stand firm on the rug.

So it couldn’t be pulled out from

under me…

Every Saturday night 

it falls apart

And putting it back 

is becoming less and less fun

It’s hard to play house

 

When you never stay

 

You should be throwing rocks

 

At my window

 

And not let our love decay.

I barely uttered 

seven stupid words

 

In a sobbing panic attack.

 

And he runs

I went from the king 

of grand gestures

To the numbest man on earth. 

 

Something’s gotta give.

Dead dinosaurs

It feels so helpless….

Not knowing you 

There used to be proof of our existence 

Everywhere 

You Need to be an archeologist now. 

Dig up a relict 

Dust off the love 

Stick it in the museum 

With all the other extinct things.

My personal Wuthering heights

The shadow in the corner

Looks like a plague doctor 

Just adds to the gloom

It’s a mourning Saturday 

But October is my hell 

It amplifies your absence 

How could we have been so happy

For it to have ended like this 

I’ve come full circle

Coaxing death in your arms 

Like a child slipping into a coma 

You rocked me back to life 

Only to leave me 

In this abyss where I cannot find you

Our demons

“I’m your friend” he whispers 

As he sets a fire in my home 

And I shouldn’t be surprised 

that you don’t thank me 

For stomping it out. 

But I am  

We both need to learn new tricks 

Before our demons have us beat.
