Surgeon Generals Warning

i roll it up,

to smoke it,

the fragments

of our broken hearts,

collected over time

with ignited fire

i spark the tip

inhaling all of our

desires

within my lungs

we linger there

until i must

exhale,

fumes of unanswered promises

wafting out of longing lips

left in disrepair,

the stench

of heavenly-ever-after

dissipating in the air

puff after puff,

ashes blown, deception released

to the unforgiving breeze

it’s the memories best forgotten,

when i stub out our butt

to our final

cremation

The Rules

if you want to be heard,

then your gonna have to listen

if you want to be seen,

then you’ll have to become the observer

if you want to be loved,

then you’ll have to love (back)

if you want to be it,

you have to know it…

inside and out

if you want to shine,

then you’re gonna have to polish

if you want to succeed,

you’ll just have to learn

it aint always so easy

it takes patience, sacrifice,

diligence, tears and pain…

but if you really want to,

i believe you will achieve

anything….

Sunken

my heart sinks

as the sink fills

with 8 wine glasses

6 coffee mugs

2 knives

and I’m still…

sitting with cup in hand

wafting away the smoke

engulfed in unbecoming

emotions

without you

my sink fills

as my heart sinks

and I’m still…

sunken

without you.
