Do you want more ketchup with your burger and fries?This was the question the waiter asked.It was the wrong question at the wrong table.It was always the wrong question, and you knew this.But you were too stubborn to admit the truth.I don’t want to say stupid.You only used this as way to compromise your life.I’m…

Good night, my dear friend, close your eyesand think of fireflies and twilight hours.Your eyes will never leave my memory,your smell will stay in my nostrils forever,and your flesh will remain warm in my heart.I have seen how tragedy can spark into a million tiny flames and I will not put them out,for you are…

Pick up your feet. If you don’t, you will eventually FALL. Not right away but sooner than later. Funny how people don’t heed the words, believe they know what’s right, and fall to see the error. Change can’t happen with closed hands. Switched circumstances are something of the past. Run fast on your feet. Remember…

There were ten of us.Then, there were seven.Soon one was lost.Six only remained.We had plenty to defend.Five, four, three, and two disappeared.There was one left. The last one only me.I was my own island.One coconut with an extended straw.Makes me happy.

Dirty feet make a dirty soul wither.The oval shape of his headtwisted in the wind.The ways his eyes stare backlike a dead cat.There is emptiness in the skull.Two days previous her lips were pink,now they are turning yellow.Emptiness surrounds the house.The pain reliever wore off.One last time the ringing started.The light above got brighter.She heard…

You were someone I enjoyed. I wanted to be a great part of your life.You taught me little.Today, I want to return the favor.You were a cruel joke.There were things to miss.I was stupid to trust you.Convinced myself you were good for me.I held on too long.My eyes boiled hot from your sting.You abandoned me…

Here, I am waiting,watching and listening,thinking of past days,filled with present longing,hoping for future release.My heart is broken,not to the point of a wilting flower,but the leaves are brown,and the stem is turning black.I could be wrong about this,or of things in my past,maybe a part of me is gone,maybe I am whole but can’t…

He travels toward me in the shape of a hurricane, ripping off my skin, breaking my bones, forcing me to stop the bleeding.His words move at a pace of a tornado,a straight path until it abruptly changes,approaching my weakness at a great speed.He sends a meteor close to where I stand,it knocks me off my…

Their faces pressed against the glassThis is the precursor to deathI am not afraid of them waitingThe last minutes left of my lifeI almost hear my bones breaking downThere is strength in what remainsMost of my senses are goneThe only one left is sight and soundThe enemy left long agoI looked at the length of…

My favorite color is red.Reminds me of blood.Not surprising, at all, coursing through my veins.Preventing me from dying.Forcing me to breathe again.A case for living and model of survival.

Assume nothing about us I know what you don’t want to know Deny all you want Spare me your pity It never had to be this way You were the culprit The second in command The follower to prolong the lie I do not feel sorry for you You have the necessary limbs to walk…
