"Bad Habit"
call it only child syndrome
or being raised by wolves
most times I am reasonable
patient, and self-sacrificing
other times want feels like need
and I am only willing to sacrifice decorum
and your good graces
and my conscience
moments at a time
#poetry
"The Art"
the art of living
and the art of dying
are exactly the same
each moment lived is
a moment closer to death
maybe it is simply the art of
not losing sight of this

I thought I was in love with you
Then I thought I was in love with some fabrication
I thought I made you up in my head
Now I'm pretty sure I'm in love with the ache
And the certainly that I will feel it again
And again and again

I thought I was in love with you
Then I thought
I was in love with a false idea of you
I thought I made you up in my head
Now I can't be sure
But I'm pretty sure
I'm in love with pain, in love with longing
In love with the certainty
I will feel this again
And again and again!

Get up, get on with it
Nothing pauses for you
No one can place their finger on the globe
To slow its spinning
While you mourn for the axel it stood on
Just moments before
The sand continues to fall
To the bottom of the hourglass
While you hang from the top
Just let go
#ocpoetry
Hurry up & move on
Nothing has paused for u
No one has placed
Their finger on the globe
To stop its spinning
While u weep & mourn
For the axle it stood on
Just moments before
The sand continues to flow
Down the bottom of the hourglass
While u cling to the top of it
Just let go
I took an art class
Your ex was teaching
She knew who I was
I watched her
Study my face
Flare her nostrils
Purse her lips
Look away
I watched her heart sink
