Dear Father Time,

You are the judge of my case
I insist you look over
These few things
That made me make this choice
Of certain separation

Jan. 2007,

I stand by a chilly window
That shows only the night
The night of a starless city
The cool glass
Caressing my face
I look over
There he is
Stuck here in the night
Under the artificial light
I am angered at the sight of him
He looks up
And I am out the door

May 2007


I lay on the field
Among many bodies
We are all covered in water
We are all covered in mulch
We are all stained with paint
We all stink of cheap men's cologne
But we smile
And we admire the sun as he burns our faces
I look next to me
And the person I thought was there
Was suddenly gone

Aug. 2007

I stand in my nightgown
On a bridge
That leads to the haunted house
That sits on the hill
As the police finally catch
The abnormal monster

Nov. 2007

I sit on a plane
I look out the perfect bubbles
That line it's rib cage
I see the silver warrior
Bending over to wave goodbye
For the last time
And I remember that I smiled
Just a little
But it was a smile

Dec. 2007

I should be happy
And decking the halls
But I can not get my mind
Off the boy
Who had something about him
An interesting aura
That craved acceptance
But was never able to accept
The people who cared

Feb. 2008

I step back
A mob chasing me into a corner
A herd of life
That makes the stupidest cow look wise
As they spit out their hatred
That tears my heart away
Because it couldn't work
It was sick of all this
And had taken leave
How am I supposed to know where?

May 2008

The pile of people
Who were with me this day
Exactly a year ago
Were here no more
And I stood on the field
Abstract, new, and swarming
Gazing at the star sapphires
That a prince
Wanted to show me

Aug. 2008

I sat in a dungeon
Surrounded by hatred
Of my fellow prisoners
And I catch a glimpse
A sparkle
That were the star sapphires
Of the prince I had met so long ago
I looked at him
Begging to be the one he rescued
But he was not permitted
To take anyone
Due to his swear on his crown
And suddenly
I found my head
Before my heels
Tumbling after him

Oct. 2008

My dear friend
Has retrieved the prince's approval
For a meeting
She retreats
And I earnestly wait to know what he said
Just a sentence or two
He says
That he would love to have me
In his castle
As his queen
But his advisors
Hold hostilities
Because my dear friend
Left one's side
After just two days

Nov. 2008

The prince has declared
That I be thrown in the dungeon
And be locked in the darkness
Seal up my sanity and my love for life
In a far away cave
Guarded by an evil creature
I sit crying in my cage
Waiting for a death sentence

Dec. 2008

I have been released from darkness
And as I step out
Into the light I haven't seen in ages
A knight comes down on his steed
From the corners of the earth
And brings me the cage
With all the things I lost
Only to drop them in a rabbit hole
On accident

Jan. 2009

I reach my hand down anxiously
Groping for my damaged feelings
When suddenly I am lifted up
And given new ones
And even something new
Called hope
By a peasant who saw me troubled
Not the best looking fellow
But someone who somehow knew
Someone who somehow cared
And that is why
I declare my final approval
For my battled over divorce
With my beloved husband
Morbid and beautiful
Known as the infamous
Poetry....

Sincerely,

The tortured one
The loved one
And the sometimes favored one
That you took everything away from
To make her appreciate getting it back
