AfterIt follows me.
My silver skeined ghost.

An almost imperceptible thread;
only visible when you shine light
directly upon it.
It follows me.

It rides the underground.
It hides under bridges,
Under trains.
It is woven into the spools of tar
that form the roads between.

Inevitably if I walk too fast
it reminds me -
Like the tug of stitches in your cheek
that reminds you; you have lost your wisdom.
It reminds me.

It trips me in doorways,
when my mind is elsewhere.
If I look away from it -
- it slips round my neck.
Another knot to throw over the beams
it mauls me without a fair chance.

I tried to sever it. I can't.

DiggingIn the garden
surrounded by weeds
and winter's breaths,
hunched
like a spring
beneath barren trees,
you cry
as you dig up the smooth,
brittle bones
of my betrayal.

Curiosity kills,
isn't that
what they say?

Flicking my tail,
I wonder
what the price is
for disturbing the dead.Digging1 year ago in Free Fella

Hello, Hello?Hello, Hello?

Are you there?
You seem to listen;
You seem to care;
You always seem to be there.

I don't deserve you
'cause I'm not there for you,
Though I wish I could be.

You deserve better, but please
Let me be there for you;
Care for you;
Listen to you

Though I don't deserve it,
Please forgive me again.
I'll try to be there for you
Like you're there for me.

Dearest friendDearest friend,

I hope this finds you well.
I know you've been through hell.
But today is special.
For a special person like you.

You who saved my life
So many times.
You who makes me smile.
You who makes me hang on for awhile.

I'll never forget you,
Wherever you may be.
Just know that you will always have me.
And I will always be there for you.

Whenever you fall,
I'll pick you up.
Whenever you feel worthless,
I'll tell you how truly amazing you are.

You Say you're not good enough,
But how could that be?
Because you are truly perfect to me
And always will be.

I love you, dear friend.
Forever til the end.
For you're perfect to mDearest friend3 months ago in Be My Valentine
