murder my heart

there are still nights

my heart is tortured by you

tears accompany nightmares

i reach for you

grasping only thin air

unspoken words?

suppressed feelings?

uncompromising desire

...left unfulfilled

remembering you and i

our love, our laughter

wishing the song could be

...remixed...

did i leave a mark on your heart?

your silence brutalized mine

-2008

spring's renewal

patient time has arrived
and healing hasn't finished
new skin covering
my brutal scar
...soft...
...new...
sensitive
when you touch it
it tingles...
i can't decipher the difference between...
....new sensations and old pain
