the one

Some day I'll stop being "the one who got away" and start being the one who will never leave.

Rules of Consumption

If, hypothetically, one were to get a beer buzz (some might say beer 'drunk') on a Saturday night, one should follow that up with a whiskey buzz (some might say whiskey 'drunk') on Monday night. After doing so, one might realize that this talk of “alcohol tolerance” may, in fact, be a myth.

The New Romance

A touch of the leg, a brush of the hand and I’m sure that I’m just a pawn in a move that breaks every rule of every game that we’ve made but who’s for rules because the joy is in the breaking out of the noise that ended you last time and who’s to say(?) such a double-edged play might end with you in or near my bed or at least leave you feeling less dead than the night when loneliness put a bullet through you.

A Broken Temple

If my body is a temple, then it’s a broken one. Shattered stained glass and cracks in the foundation. Only just standing. And now it’s poisoned. I didn’t do the breaking but I drank the poison because I thought the only antidote for pain would be numbness.

I desperately need a mason and a carpenter and stained-glass painter who can fix this mess of a hollowed-out holy place unfit for a savior of your kind. But the shingles are slipping and the arches are crumbling. Please come quickly. Please come quickly.

I'm not very good at being alone at night

And some times it gets to me.
