Onto Something? (Edited)

It wasn’t much–
our effect on one another.
I’m losing touch
and letting go of old ideas
Watching silent lightning
bounce between clouds
reminded of a time
I thought my words were electric
and the slow realization
that my words were nothing
just a flash in the sky, on the screen
no heat
never touching down
or changing the landscape.
I have this funny feeling
that its all the same
as [...]

The load gets lighter, the hour approaches, my mind runs with open arms toward a future, while my heart chuckles darkly waiting for it to hit the end of the chain.
Soul can’t be heard from six years away.
Barefoot dreams running over broken glass . . .
There’s a rumor I’ve risen from the dead.
I want what [...]

Been lonely,
been cheated,
been misunderstood.
Been washed up,
put down,
and told I’m no good
so

so every man wears
the face of a rapist
to me.
You’ve got a way with me
ain’t no sunshine [...]

We are
moving on
going forward
in spite of ourselves
taking steps
further from the past
and closer to the future.
I have a month or so
to make room in my closet
for his clothes and shoes
belts and ties-
a month or so
to prepare my dog
who will be losing his place
in my bed-
a month or so
to prepare myself
to share my life,
my little world-
only a [...]

I know

I know that love can be everything I ever hoped
I know because it was once
and just because it didn’t last doesn’t mean it can’t
because I thought it could never be like that
and it was
if only for a while
and I savored it,
Like I was sure I would forget to
and now hope won’t leave me be
I am [...]
