The songs you left behind
Berate me
As if you were bombing Baghdad.

We’re just two lost people
Who love poetic words
And pretty things.

You’re both
The thoughts that keep me
Awake
And the dreams
That keep me asleep.

I love the way
I used to look at you
And hate the way
I now see myself.

Our last supper
Was perfect,
Yet you kissed me
In the garden
And left me to die.

I sat vacantly
Wishing the panthers
On my pajamas
Would speak to me
Because I was completely
And utterly
Alone.

I’m a model
On paper
But you can crumple me
Just the same.

You’re a beautiful portrait
In an otherwise boring gallery.
I would rip you from the wall
And take you home,
But it wouldn’t be fair to the rest of the world.
Then again,
The world isn’t fair.

Depression
Is as easy to slip into
As a worn black sock
Shed in the night.

The only thing separating us
Is room for Jesus,
But baby,
It isn’t Sunday.

They say
Only the good die young,
Which means we’re living forever,
Darling.

She crushed men
Underneath her stilettos
—and they liked it.

You were my reason to drink
Long before I knew you;
Long before I knew you
Were missing from me.

I pretend to feel things
Other than bleak,
But every forced gesture
Comes out the same shade
Of nothing.

I sit in the ruins
Of a fallen kingdom.
It is my own.

It’s usually
Only once we’ve reached
The end of our lives
When we’ve obtained
Enough wisdom
To truly live them.

What do I expect
When I’m dying every night?
I need a vacation
From vacations.

I envy the cat
Because he has nine lives
That could be spent with you
While I have only one.

Someday,
You will regret me
Not for who I was,
But for who you weren’t.

I wish I could be relieved
That my first heartbreaks are over,
But the truth is
Every heartbreak feels like the first.
