False claims


Violence is my specialty 




Fear


Why would I walk, when I could run?




Simplicity


Innocent love 

was sorting through buttons

With you.





Heartbreak 


Rainy nights under half hearted umbrellas 

Are the best kind




To give


Attempt at positive words for another

A beginning, any beginning

Is such a lovey gift to gain 





Nameless


Silly girl

Crush my spirits 

Give me wine 

I’m sure in time 

I may be fine 






A decent man 


Baby

You look so sweet 

With your mouth 

On  my breasts

Greying hair 

Through my thin fingers 

I worry for you so 






A dilemma


My forehead 

Worries 

Far more than my eggs 

Or my liver 

Or my swollen breasts 






Spilt 


I would love to be my epitome 

an other god of a woman 

exemplary beauty 

love 

insight

Joy 

I have wine 

dripping down my cheek 

And it’s been there 

for the duration of  a letter

I suppose I should wipe it away.






Esteem 


Chronically caught in falsity 

Ignited by claim 

Burning, 

eye set to the stone 

cold surface 

Lips close 

On the small face 

that returns

Your gaze 

The closeness 

Is unsettling 





Please Help


I’m in an unhealthy relationship

With a lifeless object

That does not return 

The sentiment 






No Hard Feelings 


The commonality

Do not blame 

Try not to

despise

But do not ignore 

the commonalities 

The thread leads back

To you

To the damage sewn
