Dental War
Iced was the morningFlakes finished their glaze-Time was to goAs much was in the way… An adult with each stepTrepidation meeting at the door-A smile behind the deskAs useless as it was for… Walking the last mileSit comfortably in the chair-“You won’t feel a thing”We only do things with care… And in walked the devilOr…

To Know
Someone you know-AND used to know-Is a complicated mess..You wait for timeAnd common senseTo get you through “this”… It always hurtsBut tears are dryAs days and months pass…Yet it wasn’t meWho asked for thisOr the one who made it last.

In the way
It’s like dustAnd our age,The sour smellBut benefits of sage…Or the healingWithin the spring-To only breakWith winter’s swing…It’s like the rageOf a perfect stormWhipping the pageAnd breaking the norm…It’s like marriageStrong and true-Only to breakBefore you knew…It’s like the screamAfter the cry-No matter the effort,Ours are or my…And it’s utteringYour greatest fearYes a laughBefore truth…

Burst
You know I’ve learned to hate you. This asshole that appears without warning. Oh I’ve learned signs, sure. Sleeping less and regular mentions of racing thoughts means it’s lurking- ready to feast on me, my emotions, and my health. The roller coaster runs despite screams and pain. Reason and logic have left the room, as…
