My Love

My love is careless and carelessly
Running through the streets without any shoes on
Screaming and giggling like we're children
My love is sunshine in golden hair
As we kiss with strawberries, sweet and red
On a day that smells like grass and rising dew
My love is sepia tones in an old photo of two people laughing
Sitting on the mantel of an old couple who never stopped holding hands
My love is golden nut brown with a honey glaze
Cinnamon rolls cooling in the window
My love is picture perfect
And all for you

WAAAAAY Behind...

New goal: Get to 365 poems in one year. (Beginning of next March) It's just too hard to write one every day.

The Last Bit of Creativity I Waste on You
Today I finished it off
Pulled the trigger on what remained of you
Not that there was much at all
Even so, you've been completely erased
Deleted, exported, gone
I've burned the letters, the poems, the pictures
All your I love yous and lies
The promises you never kept anyway
All in a blaze of real life
You didn't mean a word and it's time to
Let go, move on, live my life
The strangest thing is...I don't care a bit...
It doesn't even hurt a bit
Turns out, your love isn't that great after all
Cheap, fake, lightly forgotten
I could do so much more than your
Plastic, dime store mockery

And I will
Oh I will

Behind again... It's a two poem day...

Lover
I want a romance so sweet and so beautiful it breaks my heart...
I want to love someone so much it kills me...
I want a lover so tender it hurts when he holds me...
I want a love story so deep I drown in it...
I want a fairy tale so breathtakig I suffocate
I want a heart so full of feeling I weep
I want a tragic happy ending
I want...

Rainfall
Puddles in my palms
Little rivers down my cheeks
Tilted to the sky

Days Without God

 Day 1

I'd say this is about where it started
Though I don't think I ever
Ever
Noticed anything missing...
Noticed anything wrong
But everything was wrong

Day 2

Doing everything
Anything
Just to stop
Pushing forward, holding on, trying desperately to keep up
Doing it all to show everyone
Nothing's changed
I'm still me without you
But you're still not here

Day 3

Starting to feel a little lost now
I don't know who I am
When you're not here to tell me
I don't know what to do
When you're not here to tell me
I hate being around other people
I always wonder if
They wonder if
I miss you
If they think
It's weird to see me alone

Day 4
Got tired of waiting for you to show up
Got tired of feeling like I can't
Got tired of pausing at the end of every
Period
To wait for you to tell me
"You did good."
Got up
Went out
By myself
Didn't even care
Didn't even miss you

Day 5 

 Didn't think about you a single time
That's a lie
Maybe I briefly wondered where you were
Maybe I briefly wondered...
If you heard what I said last night
If you thought about me at all

Day 6

Finally thought I had gotten on with it
Decided to live the rest of my life without you
Realized that I didn't need you
But just a few words
Just a few thoughts
And here I am
All the way back
Back
Back
Back at the very beginning

I'd say this is about where it started
Though I don't think I ever
Ever
Noticed anything missing...
Noticed anything wrong
But everything was wrong
