Trying to be Better
I get jealous too. I need a constant reassurance. I can be clingy. When things turn for the worse, I get very insecure. I’m this kind of person when the sun’s sleeping. Can you read between the lines and understand this?

That Shit Which Recurs
This heart’s worn More so on these frayed sleeves; And spirits cannot drown Sorrow which now can swim; This for the times when You held the gun and Dare not pull the trigger, The bullets never made a mark But the marks bleed no less; For the days of hoping For the least And earning…

That Solitary Figure on the Sidewalk
As I sift through the wall of whatever online networking site I find amusing at the time, I encounter these people who are in a situation close to home. They talk about it in the pseudo-privacy provided by the cloak of anonymousness of the internet. They share the grief and the passion birthed from their…
