home



Under the sheets
He hides
Waiting for her
To come home.

In his poems
He drowns
Hoping to be saved
By her and her alone.

On his knees
He falls
Pleading for her to stay
And call him home.

losing hearts



What is it that we still want
When we’ve given all we’ve got?
We convinced ourselves that we are who we believe we are.
I surrendered to your weaknesses; you gave in to my wiles.
We stood silent as we unleashed our dragons and demons to go wild.

In the brightest of days, in the darkest of nights
I would lay beside you and you’d turn your face against mine.
We knew what we saw in each other’s eyes
We knew all along what we both had denied.

It was not you whom I wanted or needed;
And to you neither was I
It was all a lie, in the end it was.
The mind can easily be fooled;
But the heart, no matter how fragile, cannot.

I am here



I am here
Beneath false memories,
Under your skin,
Beyond fleeting fantasies,
Behind a foolish dream
To follow a cruel fate.
I am here.
I am yours.

where are you?
