Relational Paradox
My Door is Shut
You call, the number
Is disconnected. Look for
Me, but I am gone.
Abstinence
I cannot partake
Of any substance which would
Make me credulous
Having believed one
Too many lies, I only
Drink water and tea.
Remorse
I gave too much of
Myself away in exchange
For worthless trinkets.
Read Between The Lines
When you told me how
Brave you think I am, do you
Mean “fucking stupid?”
To the Faithless
Would that I could take
Back every caress which I
Lavished upon you
Scorned
Wondering which I
Should have mistrusted; your kind
Words or your embrace?
Were I A Computer
I’d be programmed to
Love who, when, where I should and
Then I’d still love you.
