Chewing Gum

Hit me, Hurt me
How dare you
try to close my wound
with unreliable glue
Taste of bitterness
 - spit it out -
wads of chewing gum
inside of my mouth
Replace old flavors
of you --
And me?
I'm done digesting
the irony

Leaving

Take care of yourselves. I will return sometime. Ali

Finished

Nothing
lasts longer
than the end

Alkaline

Ironic the stars would appear tonight
Where alkaline clouds surround my lost will
Your love disappears like fading twilight
Rain drops seem harsh upon my window sill
Thunder shakes the bed where I toss and turn
Rag doll lust for your pleasure kept me there
Candlelight flickers without much concern
For the love we made and promised to share
Streaks of energy --electric longing
Crucify my senses for hours and hours
I'm hypnotized until early morning
Every moment without you empowers
My resistance to give into the hope
My strength to erase every word you spoke

Arson

It's necessary
to tell the very first lie
but anything after that
is intended, deliberate
premeditated and inconsiderate
an intentional arson of love:
So do we strike the match
wait for the wind
to catch the ashes
or simply let the spark die

Vulnerable

Shadows circle around me
Hungry eyes stalk my sounds
Desperate pleas as I struggle and squirm
to break free without falling down
I forget to look up and slip into the deep
into a death trap of three
Sharp smiles, slimy charms target my heart
right before they rip into me
The pain is intolerable
being unprotected bait
hanging from a hook and string
Feeling completely vulnerable
dreaming of ways to escape
this dark and dangerous scene

Blind

Mental masturbation turns to
frantic castration of my
silent retaliation upon you
