Been a long few months
since your perfect form
became black fog
and drifted away from
my decaying limbs
Now
I'm sifting through this
encyclopedia of cliches
trying to crack the blank
sky
while your lips touch
the heavens
with someone who
(probably)
wouldn't draw his organs
on yours
like I did
How sad that
I'm still writing these
things for you
another worthless
poem
for another
worthless love

That Special Someone
The rot that fell from your mouth like semen would have been enough to keep me fed but you pulled it from my reach faster than it took you to spin gold into lies you're a shallow grave for the next generation echoing orgasms of all pitches within as the abortions nailed to the walls cry for your touch

Gravity
When I think of how quickly
you
walked away
from the tactical nuke
that fell on our home
I can feel the weight
of Jupiter
as it plummets on
my ribcage
I could write some kind of
apology
or
plea
with the fragments
it leaves behind
not that you would
read it
not that you would
care
So sad
that these weapons of
mass destruction
and even
the solar system
are falling all around
and all you can do
is smile

A Romantic Evening In The I.C.U.
When we ignited this
body of concrete
and fluorescent lights
we didn't strike the match
in a shroud of fraud
or as an
act of revolution
No
we only did it
to light up
the flash
in our eyes
and to dance in the ash
We thought the flames would
extend to the heavens
and send it collapsing
at our feet
but they just died
in a thosand mile downpour
of tears
that left us crawling
sick
to any sign of life
but our own

Jaded
The sunlight sneaks in through the solitary window in her attic, crawling along the hardwood floor and slithering up my spine. It takes a bite out of my neck and adds another poison to my blackened veins. I can't help but stare at her once perfect body. Her winter skin is draped in tattered jeans and a long sleeve Type O Negative shirt, soaked through with crimson. I run my fingers down her tarred, interstate hair and lose myself in the tangles. The memories of being entwined with such perfection fill me with a tingle as if I'm being shocked by a million tasers. I reach out my hand to caress hers but am drawn back by a stabbing pain in my wrist. There's a slash there for every time she said she loved me.
The words “Good Bye” hover around my head like starving vultures. That is when you know you're truly dead, when your chest aches to free itself from your rotting body and you feel nothing. I remember when all my neurons used to kick. She and I would take night walks in a vast field where the stars would dance in our presence and the waving grass would sing our names. When we would kiss the sky would detonate and rain PCP on our sweating bodies. On those nights we needn't say a word to each other when the heaven in our eyes was pure poetry. Yet, kingdoms can fall under the weight of mutual psychosis.
We would open our mouths and regurgitate acid down each other's throats. The blisters in my esophagus would crackle and remind me that emotions only fade as the fires of Hell shall. I could tell her bones were turning to ash. In the midst of our war I would hide outside her bedroom window in some bushes and watch her cry hurricanes as she swallowed anti-depressants by the bottle. When the ambulance took her away I would hold back my weakness as I jerked off.
I can hear the police search for her downstairs. It's only a matter of time before they find us. Their footsteps echo the melting walls as her heartbeat once did in my head. The orders they bark to each other are so distance and foreign. I don't care that they're going to find me, I'll greet them with a smile I don't care that I'm going to prison, I have nothing more to do. I just want to spend my last moments of freedom locked away in our atrophied organs.

Melody
I met her in a sprawling field
illuminated by the stars
and the crescent moon
When she took my hand
clouds erupted
from the flowers
while the fireflies
spelled her name in every direction
When I kissed her
an army of angels
rose from the ground
and stitched shut our wounds
while maladies
became a distant dream
And when she backed away
her body radiated
a luscious gold
brighter than all the world's bombs
detonated at once
as the stars
and the crescent moon
faded away
in submission

Reminiscing Of My High School Sweetheart
I can't forget the days
when you would slice the throat
of George W. Bush
and you would nail
the blade
into the palm of my
trembling hand
then you would point at me
while screaming
“Murderer!"
while the citizens of this nation
would rip me apart
like a silent Jihad
and when it was all over
you would hold me
under the summer stars
and lick my wounds
with your pitchforked
sandpaper toungue
while telling me
that everything would heal
in your arms
and I would smile
in the crippling high
of teenage romance

First Date
When I placed my finger
on her cheek
her flesh crumpled
into a million stars
onto the cracked soil below
And as bullet casings fell
from my eyes
I cradled them
like a dying kitten
before they went supernova
and showered the world
in her luminous
mourning
