sometimes i regret-

next time i will bail on them and stay in with you. i promise.

Delays and Insomnia

Long gaps between whispered words to the dark

it's an infrequent insomniatic therapy session,

a blowing-off-steam kind of thing

no other way to describe what I feel than "love"

I hate people, but I'll always love you

the neverending story of my life

want to believe, more than you will ever know

never mind the paralysis, I'll always be kicking and screaming on the inside.

sleepy poetry

mixed feelings and second-rate second chances
life is calling & i can't answer
paralyzed
jumping for joy one minute
& heart throbbing the next
lonely only in my head
moments of brief connection with people i don't even know
i tie your words around my wrists
& bind myself to you
can't get you out of my thoughts
i want to be where you are every day
opening my heart & soul to you
exposed
everything i am i want to give to you
