No Home
dust coated school pictures
doors with no knobs
rooms I can’t remember
glass sprinkled floors
too much of everything
towers tumbling
bitterness and yelling
the pile keeps falling
worse every year
expired memories
stale like all the food in the pantry
how tall can this stack get?
running, running
to anywhere that feels like home
vodka stolen from the cabinet
cigarettes off the ground
hell’s treasure hunt
too much NyQuil
mom’s pain pills
Dad’s old liquor
matted hair
dirty clothes
never friends over
no one can know
there’s nothing left
this shell was full years ago
how can so much
mean so little?

Holes
waves come crashing in
the boat goes sinking down
the boat disappears
just waves, all around
who else was on the boat
at least I didn’t drown
the waves weren’t my fault
not my fault it went down
not my fault
not my fault
not my fault
I understood now
blame the waves
they were just reacting
to me in my boat
the water’s calm now
the boat finally resurfaced
the waves were just being waves
i left holes in my boat
the waves will come
and the waves will go
next time please
please patch the holes in your boat

We haven't had the time to deal with the fact that lately I haven't loved you at all.

Mom’s house
the tattered old house
I trudge through
trying not to look too hard
slinking through the cold pathways
all the walls and doors
any part of the house
crumbling, growing old
falling apart and collecting dust
what went on here?
I wonder
how did I lose 18 years?
my memories faded with the linoleum
dust and junk
surrounded by items
that are ten, twenty,
thirty, forty years old
i don’t remember our bathroom
i remember what it looks like
how it grabs me with cold hands
all I’ve seen is the door for ten years
how can such a nostalgic home
feel so cold and dead?
dust in the baseboards
dust in my soul
as I stare through tears
at the skeleton of a family home
I can’t help but wonder
what could have been
what if the garage door never
came off the hinges
what if I kept my room clean?
what’s going to happen..
to this home
the brightly filled
corpse of a place
I’ve never felt peace
I can’t look at anything the same
I didn’t understand until i grew up
why my older sibling was never home
and i was always so angry
what I fear now
is what’s to come
i don’t want to face this pain
the pain from my own home.

Falling out
I did not think you could ever fall out of love the same way you fall for it. I did not think that I could care so much about a person and have those romantic feelings begin to fade. I guess they were right. You love them less after having to forgive them so many times while they love you more each time. Here we are and I’m done while they are merely just beginning to love me the way I loved them.

falling out of love i’d say is even worse than falling in love. u feel urself drifting apart from the one person ur comfortable with and u don’t know why. all u want to do is talk to them but the words don’t come out. all u want to do is listen to them but ur ears will block it out. and that’s hard to deal with. no matter how many times someone will say they r there for u it’s not those people u want it it’s them. that one person who means so much to me. who i would do anything for in a heart beat. ironic i’d do it in a heartbeat when my heart is barely clinging together.

and suddenly I found myself, alone, in quiet, nothing to distract me from whatever could be going on in my mind. and I sat with it, and realized that I’m not myself anymore. what am I, then? I’m everything around me but I’m not any certain point, not without everything around me. I’m a black hole; everything goes in, but it seems nothing comes back without being stripped to dust, dust of whatever was, whatever is. and then I come to wonder, what could have been?
