There


Of course in the mirror
you don't see me
or want me
or need me
But I am there
Cased and Cracked
I am there
Hallow and empty

I am there
For you and the wind

Time


Only because I am near the end
a far, un-waiting hope waits
to meet me at the finish line
wavering in the distance
like a mirage
when desert meets water meets sand
and time defies them both

Apathetic


In the dark recesses
of what was normal
and not
Afraid
of the chasm
near indifference
but different
from you
or I

Tea for Two

I set the table
waiting for tea time.
The porcelain and silver
set softly
on a cloth of linen and lace.
Saucers painted with daisies
and butterflies.
Till half past seven
When I knew you wouldn't come.

The Trimphate


It's nothing for the triumphant,
praying upon the
burning ball of fire
in regards to
the construction of a star
in a place
that's heavenly and holy,
warm, sweet, and safe.
She's a long lost child
in the great big hall
outside of herself,
lying in wait
in front of the throne and glory
holding a double edged sword
simply waiting
for the triumphant.
And the triumphant turn
and run away.
Oh, to Hell
with the triumphant.

Reminisce


Not that I was filled
with a great amount of love
for that house
or that car
or that man,
there was however
a sense of security
unparalleled by anything
I had ever seen or gotten
from you
so there was no reason
to behave.
