I stand like a scarecrow amid a field of dying dreams Chasing away the nightmares circling like a murder of crows Sent to peck the eyes from the newly fallen heros As bleeding hearts pour to the open lips of the goddess She turns her back ignoring her own blessings Leaving her children to the…
We walk away from them quickly Those worthless bastards Begging for our change and table scraps How dare they interrupt our coffee How dare they interrupt our phone calls and texts How dare they be alive How can you have a dog when you don’t have a home? Eat your dog or it’s food It’s…
Slowly lost in a haze of incense and gin Letting time kill me and not fighting back I’ve counted the hours since our lips last met Saying I miss you pales to how my heart yearns to be close To you Only you One more night and then several more Alone The days pass to…
