The air hung heavy, unrelenting, the night felt like a living thing oppressive, threatening to come in and devour you, the stillness is almost viscous, leaving a bitter taste, the only sound, palpitating heart beat, a rapid dull thud, the scent of fear begins to fill the space, acidic, everything seems to wait in suspension, sudden, harsh, the phone screams emitting only dread as the fragility of the instant shatters, breath escapes, nerves unravel, the sound echoes, and somewhere, barely perceptible the glass begins to crack, and the night seeps in.

Despair slips away before the brightness of her smile, her brilliance touches the soul and she will raise you up, find faith within yourself to trust in the hope of the future, your aspirations are an achievable goal if you allow her to be your guide, her radiance will cast your doubts and fears far into the shadows, step forth into the night and do not look back, keep your gaze on the sky and the endless promises offered above.

Jealousy... Watch while it destroys me. As it wraps its hands around my throat, my eyes are pleading... just... just choke. So thrilled for you, you and your happy ending. Even if it means I lost my company, and now I'm stuck here alone. Alone in my misery. But I wont dwell, and I like to pretend I'm well. So I grab my guitar and head to the ocean. I'll stand in the sand, and write you a love-song. I'll sing it loud as the waves crash over me. Saltwater disguises the crying. And I can make you believe, that I am not heartbroken. Not that it matters. After-all, in the end it's just pain.

Your words tore into my abdomen like vultures feeding on the raw emotion their filthy wings stirred up from the dust. My ribs cracked from the blow. But, I think sometimes of how these were the ribs that should have chased you away from me, quietly wondering how you managed to slither past this cage of bone and flesh to engrave your fingerprints into my marrow. You were sweat & spice & scars- Your eyes, a thunderstorm of black and blue sex jarring and devouring my insides, shaped a faithless religion through the cracks & broken shards of my hollowed out womb. (I want my insides back.)

I died the moment I first laid eyes upon you, so achingly beautiful breath ceased to have meaning, There is only you and wherever I am, living or dead it is enough just to know you are out there somewhere. I will always remain caught within your orbit   even if it keeps us at a distance apart, we are still pulled together by forces that are beyond breaking.

Your eyes, a thunderstorm of black and blue sex jarring and devouring my insides, shaped a faithless religion through the cracks & broken shards of my hollowed out womb. I want my insides back.

They found my love hanging By a rope from a tree With a note in her pocket That was addressed to me The stains of her tears On the ripped out blank page Evidence to my eyes Of an emotional pain The last tears she would shed The last anguish she'd feel The deepest cut to her heart This time would not heal And nor did it need to Her earthly shackles left behind Time now has no meaning And meaning now has no time Unfolding the piece of paper Even the fresh air suffocates Scribbled down , hurried scrawl 'if you're reading this, you are too late' I fall to the floor frantic Clutch the note to my face Trying to catch my love
