Cornucopia

They dance
Amidst a cornucopia
Of smiles and dreams
Against the white
And into the dark
Where two can survive
On love and hope.

Melt

They say the pain will melt away
Someday
If I just give it time
Which leads me to believe that they are full of crap
And I fear if all the pain I feel really melts
I surely will drown.

Snap

I snap
Like a twig
As morning dew
Pours from my eyes
No longer able
To withstand the wind
Or give to bend
Or try to be strong
I snap
And tumble
To the cold ground below
And lie
Unattached
And broken.

Echo

Wonders if the echo of our love would ever be enough to make you want to turn around and stay.

Outlast

Believes on certain
days that his goal
is to dismantle
my life
and my job is simply
to outlast him.
