False fidelity 2
You never loved me
and I knew it all along –
your heart’s another’s.

Cracking Confession
Oh Father,
make me into
a cold, unfeeling stone
so that nothing in the world can
break me.
Illuminated
Silver moon rises
piercing the inky darkness
of my wounded heart.
Weathered 2
I wish the storm would blow through
and wipe the stale gray skies clean
with a great deluge of blue
both terrible and serene.
Burnt bridges
To all the people
saying I’m not good enough:
goodbye and good luck.
False fidelity
Tell me you love me
and really sell it to me
’cause I need the lie.
Maneater
With her garters and her lace
and a smile on her face,
she’ll take you by the arm
and turn on the charm
and put you in your place.
Seasonal
The sun paints the leaves,
and the cold frosts them each night –
Autumn has arrived.
Community Cup
I recommend you share your pain:
there’s less to lose and more to gain
in sharing your heart’s bitter brew
with dear old friends who’re tried and true.
Abandon
I fucking hate you –
when things got difficult you
just fucking left me.
