The Trickster
You tricked me, and somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew you would, I can curse you on these pages, scribble your name and then rip it to shreds, but I just wind up tasting the salty warmth cascading down my cheeks, and blame myself once more. It had been so long since we had seen each other, these miserable, lonely months with the state lines a constant reminder of the distance placed...

Read Between the Lines
Isn’t it strange how words have such wonderful power to them? The way they are just simple letters strung together to produce sounds, but they aren’t just sounds, are they? No, they are the rhythms and passions, the emotions and dreams that rest in the darkest corners of our mind, and warmest valves of our hearts. The words in a song, poem, even a simple conversation, they connected...

Tidal Wave
It had been weeks since I had seen him, the minutes dragged on, as if the arms of the clock had an anchor tied to it, what a miserable enemy time can be. I stared at that damn clock for days, until my eyes grew tired, my mind blurred, and somehow I couldn’t even remember what I was waiting for. I remember, you used to call me such silly things, like your little tidal wave, explaining how I...

Patchwork Lovers
It takes a special type of person to look someone in the eyes and express how your hearts were just not made to be together. Maybe “special” isn’t the best term, perhaps cold, bitter, cruel, and I’m that person. It took me years to finally realize who we truly were, falling in love happened so quickly, and I gave in, I allowed the sheer fantasies and dreams of true love...

For What it's Worth
There was something different about this one, it was the look he gave me, oh that look it changed my world, made it colorful and turned it upside down. I gave him all of me, yeah, I said it, I gave it all away I offered myself to him, my heart, I torn open my ribs and exposed my beating vulnerability as if he could keep it, make it his own. And instead of cherishing, worshiping me as some sort...

Letting Go
It took me a while to forget you, who am I kidding, it took me a lifetime, weeks, months, years, to repress the sweet memories of your face, the taste of your kiss. But I remember the exact moment, where I finally let you go. I had met someone else, who had bright hazel eyes and created the most magnificent words with the twist of his wrist, a writer, a dreamer, a passionate lover. And we shared...

Here We Are Again
It was as if we had been here before, right in this situation, both of our painted bodies frozen in silence, warming under the humid Florida sun. And we had been here before, this same position, parked right in front of your house, where I remember leaning against the hood, begging you weigh the options and not just jump to conclusions, oh how risky you can be. I recited a monologue, so rehearsed...

Slipping Away
Darling, I think it’s time we talk. That’s how I started the evening, as we sipped our spirits down, breaking the silence that had grown between us. It was something that had been festering in my wild mind for so long, I wondered if I had always harbored these concerns. I think I’m losing you, that perhaps you are forgetting who you once were, and you’re becoming a...

Words as Weapons
The words he screamed burned my skin as if my blood was made of gasoline, and someone threw a match into the open hole in my chest, the one where my heart once rested. Each letter was made of sharpened knives, meticulously practiced and rehearsed, I knew you couldn’t have thought of such hurtful things right there on the spot, there’s no way. You spent time pondering which words would...
