It was as though every single person in my life had a piece to fit to make my life complete but you had the one to rip my heart in two.

Towel
"Place your hands at my throat." She said.
"Here?"
"Yes, there."
"Squeeze."
"I can't."
"You already have a thousand times, what makes this time any different?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about."
"You're scaring me."
"I'm scaring you."
That's rich

Clock on the wall
I replaced your heart with a block of pre charred wood
And then lit it on fire.
No one noticed
You certainly did
I called the fire dept myself
You sat and waited
I held your hands as tears flowed down your cheeks
Never leaving your eyes
Looking directly into them
I lit fire to your heart, beating still in your chest
just for me
and no one noticed
The arson took place in less than seconds
I watched on the clock in the hall that you personally changed the battery in
The one with the broken plastic shield that kept the paper with the numbers on it, securely in tack
You figured this out,
After breaking the plastic by accident
By dropping the shield on the floor
that that paper was curled in such a way
as to prevent the big and small arms of the clock from turning properly
if the plastic shield was not placed on top
So you fixed it
Taped the cover now broke in two
with the only tape you could find
replaced the dead battery,
and placed the clock back on the wall.
Unlike your heart,
the clock is still ticking

Goldfinch
I will love you until
the final grasp of my fingers
On the corners of this bed
We call earth.
until the silt leaves this marrow,
And like our chilly breath
Settling on the corners of this window pane,
You sit like a Goldfinch,
Eating away at my hands,
Slowing devouring my veins in a single slurp of your soul,
Sitting inside mine
(much apologizes for the absurdity of this poem. I like some of it. I'm very, very much trying to get back into writing after a year of 2 blog posts, this upsets me.)
