Empty Joke

This bed is just an empty joke
An endless reminder of
your tender scent
I wonder will you ever
come back to me,
or is the winter and
her frozen eyes to be mine alone

I can see the monster that I am
You do not have to be afraid of
my aim
I would never hurt you the
way you have done me

For I do not truly break hearts, my love
I simply conjure them into a deep sleep,
so they may dream and
forget my tired name

It is better that way.

Love Gone Again

 

The Essence of Falling Asleep


Dreams are for rest, not rememering

love is for pillows and wrinkled sheets

napping is for hot summer nights

caring is here and skin now

dozing is what puppies do

living is like love, it is now.
