When I'm Gone
Sugar is as sweet as your lips
It’s like getting a charlie-horse,
So abrupt it’s scandalous.
Sun dried lavender lay miscued on the dashboard.
Her inner thighs clasped together.
The day was as sticky as jello.
Her collar bone stained purple and blue,
With the essence of you.
Hip bones crackle in the morning mist.
Moss engulfed in the rain.
The petals lay there stained.
With all my desires gone down the wishing-well.
He loves me,
He loves me not,
He loves me.
But I do not.
A compendium of all my chaos.
Blood vessels popped,
Causing her vast universe to turn red.
Meet me where bricks collide.
Particles aligned in my mind.
Peach fuzz reminds me of the day you said you would stay.
You were the security when I wished to be restrained.
A combination of me going insane,
And not having anything left to lose.
The boy who cried wolf was just asking for attention.
You gave me mine,
When I thought I had none.
Imaginations painted grey
On the doorstep she laid
Infatuated with my grave.
Warning is the correct phrase.
Scratching at my cornea,
Vibrations running through my legs.
But my heart-beats won’t stop you.
For fifty-five days I’ve been missing you,
Dreaming, and wishing that I was kissing you.
Always missing people that I shouldn’t be missing.
Our love lay in a shattered picture frame.
Let it dissipate with time,
But what in the mean-time?
Cover them in honeysuckle lemon zest.
Knuckles tattered blue.
My chest was shaking as I gasped for the air you stole from my lungs.
Misapprehension overtakes my common-sense.
I see you standing there,
And I lose all self control.
But it’s just a phase.
Her smile fades to ash,
When she realizes it was all just an act.
I think she’s finally cracked.
She lay there with daisy’s in her hair
And liquor on her lips.
Twelve hours and a lifetime of memories dead.
Maybe it’s a sigh of relief,
But all you see is a cry for help.
She was just a nobody after all.
Cringed over her empty cavity,
The boy who called wolf,
Never cried again.
