Why use 10, when 1 could hurt just as beautifully.

Tank Girl

You are so upset by your own actions

own them

You are so destroyed by what you have done to him

you owned him

You are so, so sure you can never get him back

beg him

You are so hard and tough and yet you crumble in front of the world

they own you

You cannot even get out of bed

he owns you

Become better that every one of your sins

he will beg, to be

once again, owned by you

i know.

I am on my knees.

a shadow, indented.

I never knew loving me

could have cost you so much

and I can never pay you back

not even in apologies

All i ever wanted

was a clean shot at your soul

An honest apology

Of all the horrible things this city has done to me

You were the softest of them all

I bite my nails more in Toronto
Subconscious S&M

Facebook still hasn’t deleted
Us.

I spent the better part of today

bathing in your sun

The moon was half

but my heart was full

Last night i cancelled on dinner

and your movements today

i feel like i cancelled love

I sit here at the present alone

like all the others before

I am looking over poems

I wrote in similar company, many years ago

There is a difference in my being now

A shift in my words

I am lightly older

And can appreciate the beauty

In the youth i had

As i look back over words

I see now

That i had something to say

And tonight i am lighter

As i have foretold my past
