You made me your escape
You made a mistake
Married the wrong woman
It should have been me
You said
As you took my dignity in the dark
I wasn’t there
I’m barely here now
You made me your escape
Because I couldn’t run

I met you once
And twice.
Then again.
I wasn’t ready.
And now you’re back
You’ve brought your heart
And I feel as if I could fly
Spelunking Solo
Emotionally unavailable
You wrap around my mind
Flirting with disaster
Falling deeper
Falling faster
—
Falling deeper for another
For whom I am “the other”
There’s no possible way
That I can settle for this
—
So we’ve hit rock bottom
And I’ve started to dig.
I suppose I’ll be proceeding alone.
It’s time
It’s fine
Moving forward
Moving back
I spin in your dizzying light
Never again
It’s time to make a change
See you for the first time
As I walk away
A coward
Manipulative, careless heart
Armed with a mirror
To show us that we’re at fault
How we don’t play by your rules
The world’s souls may be the problem
But fear not, my sweet
Soon it shall be one less
My Kind
come and run away with me
let’s rearrange the alphabet
and swing from tree to tree
this world is yours and mine and ours
let’s all of us get lost
The Potential of a Kite
Free as the wind
Violent destructive cyclone
Tender summer breeze
Listless in the stale air
Tie down
Run away
Soar
Fall
Return
Whipped breathless
Promising tension
And gone
Unpredictable and fleeting
I suppose I’ll fly this kite somewhere else
Sing, Little Bird
