untitled 1
I try to waste my time
with smiles
yet you won’t return
them.
You were once new and
acquaintance-ship was
only a dream.
The smirks and snide
remarks tossed around
behind my back
still reach my ears.
The happy face I’ve painted
on only guarantees $6
an hour.
Sitting on the line
of considerably chilly
and overwhelmingly hot
I manage to breathe
barely.
Sleep deprivation carries
me past drowsiness to
outofness.

I tried calling you yet
your phone was turned
off. I hesitantly left a
message which I know
won’t be returned.
The way you love me
is amazing.
You figure as long as
I occupy your thoughts
your actions are your own.
untitled 3
humid air sucks at my skin, beads of sweat parade down my face. waiting with hurriedness for a rescuer of sorts, wanting to be held in a sea of stars. swimming in a dream of milky white roses, wishing upon a raindrop. searching for the reason behind green grass and figuring out how you could never love me. grasping at the wind, it haunts me in my never-ending wakefulness. trying to fly with the wings of a bee buzzing in the inner canal. sunshine is the darkness of my bright night, crickets sneering at the stupidness of air conditioning. dreaming for a thousand loves and finding only one. romance being my depression pill, causing me to lose the mind of a carefree child. running away from pain to embrace heartache. tough luck on breaking through. why couldn’t you ever love me? a woman of simplicity falling asleep inside a deep hole of peace and tranquility, a wandering, wondering spirit searching for question-less answers and smiling in spite of disaster. a woman of alphabets clamored together in a soup of letters. a woman woven into flowers, sewn into white clouds, and planted in seedless weeds. I am that woman and you can never love me.
