It does not matter

This heart beats so heavy
But I’ve convinced myself
My feelings don’t matter
I’ll steel myself to keep peace
Move like a ghost through this
With lead in my chest

I'm Empty Otherwise

Today I exist as a vessel
Just to hold regrets

Crumbs

You give scraps
When they ask for your whole
Just enough to sustain
But still leave them
Starving

Little Spoon

I want to wrap my love around
Like arms and blankets
My breath on your neck
Memorizing the scent of your skin

Lisa

your heart is a
supernova that
shifts galaxies
when it
breaks

This isn’t so bad

My heart is sober, dried out
Not floating infatuation
Like champagne
Giggle water, they call it
Not punch drunk either
I never let them get
Close enough
To hit that hard
Love’s hangover faded
What’s in my chest is like
A workday near the weekend
Thursday morning heart

Spring

However brief our season
You ruled my year
This trip around the sun
It brought major change
But your shadow looms
2019 was awash in your color
