i realize something important about us all. we all judge each other by the things we value most. some people gauge others on how religious they are (or aren’t). others use work ethic to determine if you’re a respectable person. education, money, family values, athleticism – it goes on. but it’s important to realize everyone does it, an that you might watch your gauge before it comes back onto you.

hell.
it must be taking
this feeling
of loneliness
and feeling broken
and putting it on
an eternal repeat mode
same song
second verse

coming in from the cold.
door clanging behind her.
tiny shards of colored plastic
falling from her cupped hands.
blue green pink orange
she lays the dozens of pieces on the counter,
and they are all spread apart and lay flat.
looking through hair,
she see the man’s brown eyes
and the girl whispers -
this is all that is left of me…
see what you can do with it , dear sir

us stupid humans ruin love so badly. poke through the canvas with our brush handles…

36b

daddy, daddy -
why do you hurt me so with your words?
cut me down at home but smile at me
the next day at work.
you prick my trust.
but i still love you so,
you silly man.
