Obliviousity

Your eyes, dark as your hair, dark as your heart in its shadowy entwined cunning. Unweave the tangled webs wrapped tightly from your heart to mine.

You are Not a Mind-Reader?

That's fine. I'll tell you once. If 

you care, then listen or burn to the ground.

Torn Black Lace Panties

Wow, rough.

That last trip through the washer.

...Then the Tractor Drove Over the Horse Pile

I’m the tractor and you’re the horse pile.

What? Excuse me, I don’t speak douche-bag.

Moocher Wants to Borrow Some Money?

No. The money that I make doesn’t

get spent on loser boyfriends and cigarettes.

Bounced Check At A Restaurant

Was the Patty Melt worth it?

Hopefully you left a tip.

Vulnerability

Remembering your kisses, passion, intensity.
The safety I felt in your arms. Your uncanny
ability to break down my barriers,
weaken me like kryptonite. Now drift
off,disappear. Make this simple.
You captivated my life, mind, emotions,
uselessly.

Sacrifice

Pop, pop, pop, beep, beep, beeeeep,

                        popcorn’s done, happens

                        frequently, never

                        considered the moment

a dangerous one.

Click, the door pops open

Mama, Mama! As I reach

in to grab the hot

bursting bag, aroma

butter and greasy salt, glance 

up, see chubby arms tugging my leg

cherubic face begging

the bag in my grasp,

drips scalding, 

hot oil, one drop

spills down onto perfect peach cheek

as a torrent pours into the crease of my elbow

searing, yet I lunge for him and that one drop

first.

Last Will and Testament of a Girl Who Couldn’t Tell People Off

Tell him he is a big eared, two-faced, hypocritical,

                        chew-spitting, praying-mantis legged, Morgan-swilling,

                        oh-look-at-me-I-can-spell-anything, Bible-quoter.

Tell her she is a man-leaving, house-jumping

                        lice-infested, booger-eatin’

                        member of a donkey show.

                        Tell him he is a monkey-licking

                        ass-sniffing, slime on a frogs nuts,

                        piece of doody from a bubonic infected rat.

                        Tell her she is a sallow-faced

                        whiney-hinied, pitiful, man-trapping

                        hornets’ nest-haired hussy.

           

                        Tell him he is a dream catcher tattooed,

                        old-man voiced, chain-smoking

                        loud-mouthed, manpri-wearing, tool box.

                       

                        Tell her she is a Venus fly trap, man-eating,

                        venomous tramp, wind-tunneled, black-holed,

                        bleach-blonde, with the mental capacity of a dead ant.

                        Tell him he is a freakishly tall, grubby doofus,

                        backwards-hat wearing, imbecilic, manipulating,

                        giraffe-necked, bumpy-headed, smelly liar-pants.

                        Tell her she is an ungrateful, over-privileged,

                        gambling addicted, champagne drinking, one-week

outfit wearing, squawking, daughter of a crap weasel.
