i think im insane, the way the clock ticks, one, two, three.
leave the door unlocked tonight so i can slip in quietly,
a dark-depleted shadow of the way we were supposed to be.
years from now a phone rings as she lingers at your feet.
a cool embrace of fingertips
a hastened brush of grieving lips across her wasted cheek.
im trying really hard to get you off my fucking case.
but every time i close my eyes i see your fucking face.
sunkissed month of sundays, bowing to the trees.
your touch remains temptation as we strive for simultaneous release,
thinly veiled in smoky trails, memories.
smiling grey beneath the sheets, can autumn come so lonely?
praying only to distraction with the hours passing slowly,
as we crave for simultaneous reaction.
where is peaceful night?
she asks as morning rapes the sky.
where is joyful summer?
she asks herself as it passes by.
where is my beloved?
she asks, the echo of his tone.
where is my control?
she asks herself when shes alone.
what is this desire?
she gasps in pain as it burns her through.
where is my salvation?
she whispers, searching the crowd for you.
she cries, im sorry i couldnt read your eyes,
im sorry i wasted all your time,
im sorry i cant leave you alone,
im sorry im blowing up your phone,
im sorry im calling out your name,
moaning for you in darkened shame,
im sorry you couldnt feel the same.
can i wake to find you with me?
can i visit you in dreams?
can i see you in the morning?
promise youll never leave?
she cries, lie to me, tell me i wont always feel this way
tell me that youll be right here and everything will be okay
tell me that you love me--
and then you walk away.

You are a great poet. I find that time and time again as I read more of your work. You put such feeling into it. Many times now I will find poetry that lacks feeling, But yours is different. Once again you have done an excellent job. Keep writing!
