22.6.10

because of the nights i spent alone
because of the names you called me that you shouldnt have
because you never read my poetry or my palms
because you screamed
because you faltered
because you know what to say to cut
because you never got where we were going
and you couldnt walk straight most of the time
and you made me crooked
can't see straight anymore
and you left me here waiting
because you won't know me anymore
or i you
because now its night and you are in another bed than mine
and you snored and slept diagonally
and i always woke up sore

I wonder what my because would sound like- treble in bass clothes- another cloud on a sunny day obscuring that one moment when the shadow left the imprint in a soul

I understand that i may have hurt you. i Did not mean to I love you today but I think it would be better to keep your thoughts in a book that you can only share with yourself. I would never post poetry about us because now that it is over I can only remember the good times we had. Hello to the world I am that man, that man who loved Nicole.

you treat how you want to be treated
and if we can't find the way
or the time
to cherish every single second
on this earth
and consider ourselves
lucky to share a life with someone
as incredible
and special
as we ourselves might be
- we miss the mark
the world is a globe
a target
and words ought to hit the mark
