Fancy Meeting You Here

.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Sometimes the memories become too much,
and I wonder if you have locked me away
as I have you.
And if every now and again I begin kicking
through the walls of your mind,
overwhelming you,
and if I do I wonder if you quietly surrender,
or if you furiously gasp for air
when the regret takes you under, too.

Vintage Heart

.Reading time less than 1 minute.

For Tamara, with love.

She’s an old soul
with young eyes,
a vintage heart,
and a beautiful mind.

To Nothing

.Reading time less than 1 minute.

How recklessly we turn
from strangers
to lovers,
and blindly back
to nothing.

Fade Out

.Reading time less than 1 minute.

There was a moment
when the neon
caught the silver
that I thought to myself,
This is going to make a wicked mess.

But the lights
went down
and everything
faded to black.

Percussion 

.Reading time less than 1 minute.

I never meant
to ruin him,
but I do love
the way his heart
still beats
my name.
