*No Way Should it Be This Easy*

You deserve better than this.
You deserve to be immortalized in the shrines of minds and wheeled through Grapevines, not left behind as if you’re not the best find I or he will Ever find.

Inhale.

After you left me shattered then separated I have the nerve to forget your clumsy touch. I don’t care that you dropped me, I feel blessed that you even touched me. Now I’m fighting to keep your memory alive without your

Body or Mind here to Remind what Time we had shared, yeah I know you didn’t care, it’s not like I was your significant other, just a quite insignificant other — who you left behind and moved on to another but I don’t want any other — I want your memory to haunt me so why the hell is it so easy to breathe these days when you’re not here to choke me with your dismissive words or fleeting transitive verbs?

Exhale.

They say Pain is what lets us know we’re alive, but that’s not why I can’t let you go; see the trouble is I find my resolve slipping, when I say, “I Can’t Let You Go.” I don’t care about the pain or “feeling alive” or any of that crap…hell, to be honest, I don’t even think I want you anymore because a man has his pride and all…I just want to remember every word and most of all I simply want to remember your face. I don’t know, I guess I’ve always been a believer in people getting what they deserve. And

That’s What You Deserve.

*Fourth Degree Murder*

Let things go their natural course,
Stop getting in the way,
She can make her Own decisions,
We can do without your petty say.
As she drags her friend away,
She could be pulling away destiny,
How can that whole group think it’s OK?
One should have the guts to bring her back to me.
Sometimes it’s only one Blocker,
Weighing no more than a Buck Thirty,
The target I want has her Guard Down,
But this Center is Playing Dirty.
Who knows what could have been?
Maybe a child or even a family of five?
All it takes is One Senseless Act —
To stop fantasies from Growing Alive.
I’m trying to do “Right By Her”
Still I’m being abused more than
Tina Turner…
They Think they are Saving a Friend,
While committing
Fourth Degree Murder.

*First Impressions*

Go on. Strip me down.
I hope to do the same to you.
Look to exploit any vulnerability or fears,
I hope to be around to take yours away.

Pick away at any fault, any verbal trip-up, and keep looking for any weakness;
While
I’ll keep building you up:

Using all your strengths.

*A Salesman’s Omission*

“Go out and Live!”
Exclaims the world!
They sell the notion of
Living Every Day
Like it’s the last
and to not let a single minute
Be lost.
With a drowsy eye
and a wavering head —
I sit up in my bed,
and skeptically ask:

“How much does that cost?”
