Through


It's not when my mouth is going 100 mph 
And my eyes are running like faucets 
And the cliche Angels and Demons are racing the Indy 500 in my head 
That you should be worried if we're through.

It's when my heart and brain are finally are on speaking terms
And your voice feels like a sword in my ear. 
When the hardness that lives in the center of me has locked you inside it
And I simply have nothing more to say to you
That means you're screwed.
Because that is when I'm completely finished.

I never thought the day would come when we were just done.  
Where I would feel nothing in my bones for you at all.  
No more waiting for you to wake up and realize you miss me.
No more hoping you'll call. 
I just started living again.

Not everyone's kiss means the same thing.
Temporary feelings and fucking around
Create permanent memories and hurtful scars;
Remember that.
Sometimes the past is your teacher
And other times, regret is.
Come on over and suck on my last straw,
I dare you.

Happy Anniversary

I'm in love with you.
It's as simple,
and as complicated as that.

Love is not something you can end on purpose.
I should know,
I've thrown myself off of emotional cliffs and into oceans of alcohol trying to.
I can swear I'm moving on or do my best to forget you ever existed,
but inevitably I'll still be thinking about you.
Somehow you've always had a way of showing up.

A poem like ours can never truly be finished in the soul of a poet like me.
I suppose that this is why I keep coming back to you for inspiration.
I can't get rid of the nagging in the back of my mind
that I'll finally be able to make peace with our broken pieces.

Are you free tonight?
Let's meet at that place we always talked about going back to.
We should have a drink.
I think our demons should have a chat.
Perhaps they can finally take their claws out of our backs.
