<a name="#016"> Melancholy Murder </a>

Before it happened
but when I knew it would,
I pleaded to you
in silence.

You didn't
break it to me gently
as I asked in solitude.

You plunged the knife
into my chest
and ripped it out
as you walked away
and left me
with a smile.

<a name="#017"> Divorce was Never Pretty </a>

I smiled
at the children I love
and felt my heart sigh with relief
even as you spewed
pure stupidity and bullshit
aimed at me
through the phone lines.

I listened.
I heard.
I processed.

My head shouted
everything my lips held back.
Divorce was never pretty
for anyone -
My Mother's five
echo without mercy.

I am unavoidably amazed
at your endless ignorance
to anything important.

Even after the fact -
you have never cared enough to know
that I almost died
at lack of your hand.

<a name="#018"> House 'O Hormones </a>

To Whom it may Concern,
I didn’t cry today.
I wish I could have an elective
blood transfusion,
so I could wash you all away.

And you’ve tainted my heart, too.
I am glad that I’m not one of you.
but still, it makes me lonely
sometimes, to be me.

Like wind that blows where no one lives,
I will not be heard or felt.
I am in silent mourning.

And finally,
all of my childhood insecurities
have been justified.

Shame on you all.
You have no excuses.
Let your sentence be
to have to go on living.

<a name="#019"> It Didn't Work Yet </a>

We disregarded right or wrong
not knowing which it was
and cannibalized each other
by candlelight.

I was positive then
that I would leave you exhausted
and walk away
sore and satisfied
having tucked you into
my list of attained conquests.

But I left you that night
and crawled into bed
with pieces of you pleasantly
all over me.

I have tried since then
to brush them off
and they wouldn’t go.

Your words, your smile, your laugh
remain persistant
in my heart’s eyes.

I hope to love you always
from afar.

<a name="#020"> Impending Taxidermy </a>

I wasn't hunting you
but you wandered into a clearing
and into my sights
Blinking - Curious - Sensing Danger
and I waited patiently
for a clear shot.

You moved forward, back, and forward again
Testing - Frightened - Intrigued.
I coaxed you gently,
and enticed you deceitfully
all the while
adrenaline
pumping through my weapon.

When the music ended
and the wicked primal dance was done,
we had explored each other
as much as fear would allow
and we found
that we fit together
as we cuddled on the Earth's soft floor.
Your heat was healing
against the cold steel of my skin.

I am not sure yet
if you actually took the bait,
and I do not know yet
if I will pull the trigger.
But I know
I am still Loaded.

<a name="#021">Untitled</a>

To be with you -
I created a character
that conformed
to your personality
and became her.

To be with you -
I gave up events and relationships
that would have been more significant
than the time I spent with you instead.

To be with you -
I drained myself
and everyone I cared for
of energy and tolerance.

To be with you -
I lied and cried
and something in me died.

To be with me -
you called.
