2 poems
Good Riddance Letter
I cannot
Write well
So then
Hear me
I won’t
Take my
Own life
In jest
En vogue
En pain
In text.
Silence
Shut your fucking mouth
I like what I hear.
I touch you
You crawl
You grip me
I yawn.
Part your red-sea lips
I’ve gone all poetic – ho hum.
For Someone
I am not your equal;
I am ten times your better.
Hearts turn to paper and fold.
You see me in the street
I am two foot higher
On the surface we are cold.
Our faces did not meet.
You fell asleep in spite.
I am not your equal
I was born a different kind
Teardrops kiss the floor and die.
I think of you outside,
Under covers we are warm.
You will never enter here.
Lips close in private and melt.
Two Short Poems
Faith
If you’ve lost all faith
There’s just one thing
That I can ever ask.
Please don’t turn and look at me,
Lie through bare and gritted teeth,
But tell me what you really think.
Your honesty means more to me.
Girl
I don’t care, girl, if it shows
And I don’t mind of others know
But I hope I'll stay on track.
If you talk behind my back
