My age is showing.
My face is always twisted in a
combination of sardonic
and disgusted, I
guess that I'm amused.
The kids these days aren't
making any sense to me.
The world is unforgiving,
so I try to make the best
of things to the best of
my ability.
But then my cigarette goes out
and I just wanna tear it
all apart, let's start with you
and see what damage I can do.
Yeah, I think maybe the
pills are kicking in.
The tiles on the floor
welcome my body as I
drop onto my hands and knees.
My eyes are shut against
the bright and mocking
glare of a sun
too far away to
give a fuck about
the way this makes me
ache inside and out.
A two-day hangove
Morning.
No noises from the rest of the house; it's only the fan, assaulting my bare feet with blasts of cold air. Slowly I tuck them back under the blanket, careful not to wake you. I turn my head and allow my eyes to lazily roam over the curves of your face. Features softened by complete release and relaxation, eyes lost in R.E.M., you are almost childlike, innocent. Beautiful. Ignorant yet to the arrival of another day, lucky you. I glide my hand down the line of your jaw, your neck, fingertips barely making contact with the surface of your skin, like warm velvet. Uttering an unintelligible murmer of sleep dialogue, you press your

A two-day hangove
Every day it's the same. The same goddamn routine. Over and over, we repeat the actions of the day before, until life is one big deja vue. Wake up, brush the teeth, dress the flesh, tie the shoes, brew the coffee, feed the mouth, feed the dog, go to school, come home from school, do the homework, feed the mouth, undress the flesh, untie the shoes, undo the bed, hit the sack. I'm so disgusted at this...this regularity. This normalcy. I need something! Anything! Everything...or nothing. I don't even know anymore. But if something doesn't happen soon, I'm going to explode. Implode. I'm suffocating in all the broken dreams of the people a

No Such Thing As Pure
You drew me in
like a fly to honey
and trapped me with
a sick game
of manipulation and
insideous intent,
playing off my craving
for affection
and a fairy-tale
love
You called me
your little whore
and I'd smile,
like that was exactly
what I wanted to hear.
And I wouldn't say a word
as your hands would roam -
greedy,
possessive,
almost painfully -
over my skin.
But I found a moment of
escape from my
domestic cage
with a naive boy,
a walk under street lights.
I can still taste the
innocence of him,
his sweetness
lingering against my lips,
and I wonder -
can you taste him too?
She doesn't dance as much as she used to;
She hardly ever sings.
Those fake, hollow smiles are more than just lies.
You can tell by the way they reflect in her eyes.
She stumbles to the bedroom and closes the door.
She just can't help but to cry.
She curls up on the floor and hides her pale face.
It seems as if she is losing her grace.
The stars don't shine as much as they used to;
But she rarely ever looks.
Her dreams are now strangers, her wishes aren't real.
As she pushes the blade, she learns how to feel.
She didn't wake up from her coma today.
The blood stains the walls and the floor.
The prescription went down well with th

Echo of a Gunshot
I dreamt of him again last night. It was a strange dream, a silly dream. A fool's dream. It was foolish, because in this dream, I saw his smile once more. In this dream, he was alive, and happy. But even when he was alive, he wasn't happy. He felt small and insignificant, and I was to blame. That's why this dream was so foolish, you see. In my slumber, I dreamt that he had come back to me, and told me everything I had hoped was true. His absence was justified. No longer would his memory be a burden to my heart. I saw his face once more. Oh, his beautiful eyes looked into mine and saw the truth, that I had always loved him, and I al
Say goodbye..
The words make me gag
and the world feels like
it's tearing itself apart
beneath my feet.
I won't cry..
Another lie that
slips between us,
making the break
easier,
smoother,
like a change of partners
in a slow dance.
Sure, there will be
distractions,
and of course,
I'll have my mind
on something else,
usually.
But all it takes
is the rustle of leaves
outside my window
to make me
miss you.
I wanna be a hippie, but I've forgotten how to love.

It's been a loooong time.
A lot has happened these past few years.
I finally kind of grew the fuck up.
Got a real job.
Finally defeated the Monster.
At least physicallly.
I don't think the mental addiction ever really fades though.
Big shocker. Hah.
I had a baby.
HOLYSHIT, I know, right?!
His name is Owen, he's almost two now.
He saved my life, 100%.
I was completely lost before he came along.
So...yeah.
It's me and my lil man against the world now.
So today, I am officially making the Great Washington Comeback. lawlz.
I've had my fun in Wapello, it's time to come home.
And I'm still doing pretty damn awesome, compared to how I was.
I barely drink anymore, no pills for a while.
I've accepted that The Habit is here to stay, though.
But I think I can handle it this time.
I won't let it get as far as it did.
I CAN'T let it get as far as it did.
I don't think I'd live through another run like that.
I don't even know why I let it get that bad, really.
It wasn't fun.
I felt like shit, I looked like shit, I was pretty much going out of my mind because everything was so fucked up.

I had a very disturbing dream last night.
I don't understand why my subconscious won't let this go.
I've moved on.
I even think I'm in love again.
When I look at pictures of him, of us together, I don't feel anything anymore.
No sad ache in the pit of my stomach, no tears, no anger.
No regret.
And yet, there he was.
Telling me how he was sorry about everything.
That he wanted to be with me again.
I said it was all my fault (which it was).
I said I loved him.
And he said he loved me too.
And then I like, leaped into his arms and he held me against his chest and kissed my forehead and it was just like the past two years didn't even
