"Pieces"
I can't believe.
No, not in you.
Once it started to fall, it shattered.
To pieces.
Be careful not to step on any of the glass.
We wouldn't want you to bleed now, would we?
Bleed...like I have been.
I can't fix it.
We're out of tape.
The superglue has superglued itself shut.
There are no instructions.
There is no guide.
No, not now
when you want it the most.
You'll just have to leave it all where it is
on the floor.
You can't clean it up.
You can't ever go in this room ever again.
And now that it is broken, at least we don't have to worry about it.
Close the door.
Lock it.
Don't worry, it's going to be fine.
I'm going to fine.
Forget about all the shards on the floor.
Forget about me.
I will sit here,
in this locked room,
on a weak table chair,
and wait to die.
But look at it this way
at least you won't bleed.

Poetry: Troubled relationships

Why Should We Go On This Way?
Lately I’ve been on my knees
I’ve been praying for me and you everyday
If you
Closer To The Door
You come home from work each evening
as though it's got to be
But you look as if you find us all a bore
And

Troubled relationships
Knives and forks
Going wrong in life
Pots and pans
Being thrown at
Each other
Brink of divorce
Brink of
First Night
Soft gentle light a glow
On my bed hunkered low
Sweat pants and socks scattered on the floor
Orange and white Garfield
by dislike
What Happened to Us?
Fair masterpiece painted behind the rust
Metallic mask of rain and summer’s dead
Reflection
