You don\’t have to go home, but you can\’t stay here











{July 2, 2008}   Karma.Karma.karma.

Maybe someday you’ll learn
Maybe someone will put you in your place
Someone will show you you aren’t hot shit
You’ll have to face what you’ve become.

Someday the door is going to hit you in the ass
Someday all your bullshit will catch up with you
Someday you will be alone.

I hope one day you realize
that your cruelty has a price
that in the end
you wasted what was good
and it’s far too late to mend the ruin
of your own doing.



{July 2, 2008}   Amico Cattivo

When you big shiny dream caves in around you

I won’t be there anymore

and you’ll be sorry

for the way things went

and you’ll know what you pissed away

but I will be long gone.

And I will not look back over my shoulder

at you lying in the rubble of your own doing

You burnt your bridges

might as well lie in the bed you made

You might think you shut me out.

But you shut yourself in.



{July 2, 2008}   Red Heart

What I can’t hold

is this love

that has swelled my heart

to a bursting size

My ribs can barely contain

this big red heart

beating our song

shouting your name.



{July 2, 2008}   When We Fight

When we fight.

We don’t do it often

but when we do

my pulse beats like splattering rain

my heart shrivels

like soldered ashes

and everything is dark and bad

but when we fight

I realize how much there is to lose

that whatever the argument,

this love is stronger

and that the real fight

is the one in me

never giving up on you

on us.
