so bad

we weep
together
you and i

oughtn't
we be
satisfied

i have left
behind the
blackened spoon

and you
will have your
doctor soon

so why
then
are we sad

we lay
apart the
two of us


we pray to
die and
drink and cuss

when all these things
seem so good
why then do


we feel so bad

I Don't Need You

I don't need you
to love me.

I just want
(to love)
you.

I want to be
the sun shining
on your face,

the rain that
traces your
cheek

while you
dance,
spinning in

warmest
spring  downpour,
laughing.

I don't want
to swim in
your passion.

I would drown
in your soul,
arms weak- chest bursting.

I don't need
you to love me,

I just need you

to let me love
you.
