Retirement

I long for age

To break my body

And bind me

To the bed

She sits by

And life will

Finally lose

Its ability

To pull me away

Searching For love

I've lost my love

And I can’t find it

Maybe I never

Had it at all

It’s invisible to me

Floats above my head

If I ever had love

It must be dead

Tell me what

It looks like

So I can find it

Whatever it is.

Still

I still love you...

I still think about you.

I still think about your smile.

I still remember your dreams, your fears, your favorite color.

I still think about how you would look in a wedding dress.

You moved on, but I'm still here

Still in love with you...

Over her

Entangled

In her captivating web

I was strangled

My love made hers ebb

Never had i thought

Such pure sentiment

Could lead me to naught

But sure detriment

All i wanted

Of her was more

Poor me she aborted

What a f****** whore!

The Sweetest Boy

Bittersweet memories -

lazy mornings in bed,

Summer nights chasing stars.

I remember....

And I wonder....

the melody of certain songs....

the scent of Peppermint St Ives....

Does he think of me?

Even a little?

Sadly, I know he doesn't.

He's been dead many years now.

Damn, I miss that dog.

Scriptures

On the spiral horizon that wraps

my head in your brutish penmanship,

and fills my ears with your waning laughter,

the sun sets 

as you did too.

And the moon looked upon me with its lily-white eyes

and kissed me goodnight,

for you were no longer there to do so.

@AaronOrtiz

I opened my book to you,

And you scribbled on the pages.

You always made me promise

To never leave your side.

I guess I was paying too close attention to me,

To see you planning your getaway.

Thoughts of you are burnt out foundations,

Dazzlingly haunting and vigorously lifeless.

The angles of love

Though I tried to stay rooted on the intersecting point,

It was just not meant to be,

For we were a pair of non-parallel lines,

Intersecting once,

Only to be forced to forge different paths ahead.

Hey, I have an idea...

Say you never loved me!

Leave me heart-wrecked with a lie.

Convince me there's another,

Say you wish that I would die.

Just make it easier to leave you

Because I have to let you go;

And if I'm bound to always love you

I'll be too angry to know.

Just A Fantasy

You were never

Truly mine

But in my mind

We were happy all the time

You didn't question

Your self worth

You knew

That I was here for you

But like I said

That was all in my head

And even those happy fantasies

Are now dead
