Too quick
no feelings
can't be with
someone
who sleeps with
God knows who
can't live a lie
you're too butch
I'm too mean for you
I can't deal with
the work
I'm too emotionally immature
I have heard these
excuses
given to me by my exes
they keep coming
I'm wonder if by the time I'm
30
I will have heard every one
so many reasons
why a relationship with me
would be a bad idea
so few why it wouldn't




After All - November 18, 2002
Have you ever felt
like you're being molded into an ideal
but you got lost in the translation?
And ever since
You've been fighting
to get out?
And you've been on different meds
But sleep remains unrestful?
And you want to run away
Change your life
And leave the bad guys behind?
You don't even want to be
a girl anymore
Nor do you want
another relationship
for fear of being made to
take it
over and over again?
The headaches and memories abound
with no long-term relief
And all you know
is that if you let someone else in
it's just inviting
more domination and molding
to whom do I turn?
only myself




Agenda - December 11, 2000
I have a plan
I'll wait for your bus to arrive
Then, I'll hide
every
clock and watch I own
let someone else
worry about
what time it is
we
will decide together
when
to eat
when
to dine
(no, I did not repeat myself)
we
together
will decide
when to sleep
when to cuddle
when to
touch
kiss
hold
et cetera
And I'll have
one of my friends
call me
when it's Sunday
morning
and then we'll
worry about
the time
And we'll go to the station
together
and wait for you to board
and be returned
to your house
and when you have
gone
after a thousand
good-byes
kisses
and
hugs,
I will mope in my house
and count the
days till our next
embrace




Baby - May 23, 2001
I'm crying over a
potential
loss
of someone
who considers herself
emotionally
immature
I'm a cryer
she rarely knows tears
which is the baby
tearlessness is valued here
yet with every drop
I shed
and talk over
I feel healthier
than one who ignores
expression
as she does
perhaps
as she says
she can't handle a real relationship
or perhaps
she can't handle
me
Affliction - December 12, 2002
My therapist had to ask me
"Well,
what's wrong with it?"
And,
after some thought
I had no answer
but I'm not one who
just blurts it out
especially not to a man
albeit atypical
it's a side of myself
I thought had vanished
my mom told me when I
came out as bi
that it was a phase
and after so many women
and only two men
I figured the straight part of it
was the phase
and thinking of him
doesn't make me want women less
we check out celebrities together
"She's hot"
"Yeah, she's very pretty"
I need women in my life
to perform body worship
if anything
because women aren't told often enough
how beautiful they are
but I have these feelings
we're so very much alike
and if I weren't so reserved
I could tell him
anything
but
this
it took me two months
to admit I
liked his company
and how comfortable I feel with him
He knew that was a big compliment
and a big deal
but just not how big
and though I like the excitement sometimes
of the "I know something you don't know" sort
I know that if he gets
a girlfriend
I'll be torn between
being happy for his happiness
and sad for my loss
never before have I understood
jealousy
so well




Angel/Bitch Split - May 27, 2001
you know
what this is?
you're getting rid of
the thing that's new
to ensure you
won't get hurt
ever again
you won't have
difficulties
if you're only with
the familiar
familiar can be
synonymous
with
predictable
after all
I say
fuck that
the bitch in me
is saying
grow up
and deal with the differences
we were good together
you can't ignore that
part of me wants to
put you through
the
I need space
bullshit
and the other
sadly
is still in love
and still cries
over someone
the bitch
inside
says is not worth any of it
you're picking me up
to take me to dinner
in a few hours
I'll either be fussing over
how I look
or I just won't be here
the nice girl
wants "us" back
the bitch
wants you in Hell
if I leave
would that put you there
or will my Bitch
have to wait till you die
not that my other half
wants that
but someone has to win out
I guess we'll both find out who
this afternoon
