Captured, like a firefly in summer
breaths become uneasy
The grease soaks in,
thirsty flesh hurries to drink
Memories fade into unknowns
and soon all is unmemorable
Toil, ponder, act as if,
dragging a lifeless self through

The Soulless June 17, 2012
Best For Me June 8, 2011
Not certain you realize
how many tears
I’ve wasted
on you,
How much care
I once held
for you.
Days
eagerly
passed
with thoughts
of you.
Greedy little faith stealer
compassionless whore searcher,
Self-absorbed
brimming with anger,
a dangerous combination.
As I’m writing this
it has occurred to me
you’re not even worth
my time,
My tears have ceased
my heart has hardened.
Thoughts of you
are
distant memories
I care…
no more.
