Bye bye

Distance happens when we don't talk.

   

I try.

Words flow up and then get stuck somehow

pulling themselves back into my mouth

anchoring themselves on my teeth and tongue.

You look at me like I'm some kind of answer

but I can't be. I'm only a friend.

A human too.

Mistake are as easily my bread as they are yours. 

The Far Away Girl

Far away girl.
Her eyes hold pictures that lie not before her
stars dance in them as she creates
a world of her own.

Far away girl.
Life is magical.
Why must one chose between happiness and sunshine.
It comes from within
but so does loneliness.

Sometimes own little worlds aren't what
they are cracked up to be.

Goodbyes

too many goodbyes

running into each other like tears mixing with rain

like black tracks down once rose filled cheeks

goodbye goodbye goodbye

too many goodbyes

coming too close to comfort

dripping their way over chins and onto vunerable skin at the nape of a neck.

goodbyes convulsing into someone else's shoulder.

into a pillow at 10 past 1 on a Tuesday morning.

into a shaking hand

but hellos too. yes those too.

Expressions.
