For once and for all I know it's done
There's no turning back from what I'm about to do
I want to leave
Leave away from your sight
I cannot stay restrained
I need to be set free
I'm not going to hold you back
I'm not letting you stay behind
Go make your dreams alive
Allow your life to be lived
Away from me you'll be fine
I need to put that in my mind
You'll be fine...
You'll be content
You'll find the life that I'll never be able to give you
Don't look back!
Don't go coming back around
You're going to leave
Leave the this wretched heart that wants you to stay
You're to be free...
Free from this heart that wants more
I won't be greedy
I won't be sad
For once I'll let these emotions go away
You'll be a first and a last...
But I won't be your last
You're going to find that one
The one that makes you stay
Because now I see your bags
All of them being loaded away
Farewell is all I want to see
But once I step forward to say it...
You only drove away.

Literature
cycle.
(birth.)
i walk home, crisp shoelaces, bloodied nose
middle of autumn, frothing at the mouth
kids took summer skin too far, brought on apocalypse
i tell myself it will be over soon, wintertime freckles
will be here
incensed
(childhood.)
stove milk and delicate murmurs
the technicolor alphabet teaches itself
purple bowls with animal faces
hospital bracelets around tiny wrists
won’t come loose
mama
(adolescence.)
the clouds are gasoline, wisps of gin, addicted
there is vomit on the floor, new candy sores
sky is burning, orange with hungry flame, vying
i don’t know who to talk to, crying
let me go
alive
(adulthood.)

Literature
The Alchemist
You place your faith
In the maps and charts
Of fools.
You seek what God could never give
To those mighty Conquistadors,
Resplendent buffoons in pantaloons
Searching for a lie.
The fire dances tonight
In your inkwells and your elements.
It overlooks
The shirts, phantom-pressed,
And countless cups of tea
Undrunk, now cold.
The gold
You really desire lies beyond
The Aztecs and the Incas. It lurks
In you. Drag it out, screaming,
Into the pitch midnight
And then, maybe, you will see:
The treasure was always here.
You just needed to claim it.
Literature
Matchstick
irreplaceable yet unnecessary
leave me in your retrospect
where you found me, unwanted & with a question mark over my head
or a Matchstick, maybe
I'm the fire you started &
couldn't put out
the one you doused &
the One you'll freeze without.
