Regurgitated dreams
and a handful of hopes
slipping grain-like through my fingers
promisisng the earth
as it cracks withered and drying.
desolation and anticipation
brings the threat of pleasure
like the seed of hope without
the chance of bursting open.
Endless gurantees of endless possibilities
and your stupid God damn provisos.

you'd think you could at least
turn away when I cry?
Instead you watch,
a look of abomination
carved into your hateful eyes
and ice cold detachment
running down your spine.

I'll be fine;
you were only ever a sympathy case
that grew too wild.
all that tender love and care
without pruning
has a tendency to create monsters
you sting my rosy buds
a sadistic wash of passion red
I'm tangled in your mess,
you might as well lick the salt as well
the tequila slammer hit hard.
I can't seem to locate my vanity
its still missing after that
last masochistic kiss goodbye.
