Ambivalence

Hello Me

I wish the mirror would quit staring me down

with unforgiving looks and

reflections of the past that

plague 

me with nostalgia 

scented desires for some kind of element

some piece of what I left so deep

in my closet, my back stairwell leading to my

basement hope, chained but optimistic

with only whispers to feed 

me

bit by bit

drip, drip, drip

here is some peace returned to

you, here

is where it all went some kind of side

ways, but

you found your way and yet

it always starts with

a slight smell, a distant song

the wind tickling my

soul, well hello there, me

how have you been?

After a Rage Cry and Smile It's just Me and the Coffee makers drip Song

After a rage cry and
Smile
It's just me and
The coffee makers drip
Song

Sometimes

Sometimes you don't keep the love of your life
Sometimes the wind blows hard upon your brow in a cold
Embrace of reality
Sometimes the rain hits hard and flesh
Is weak and sometimes
It's all too much
And you must let it be

let it be
Sometimes the smile that brings you joy
Unimaginable is the smirk
That cuts

Your chest open
And flings your fragile soul
Against the jagged rocks
Sometimes everything keeping you living
Is all that is why

You are dying and
You know what you

Must do
And it hurts you so
And you do it
And sometimes we get to be the best

Of ourselves and our better nature is what comes natural and

Sometimes
Today becomes tomorrow and
It gets better
And sometimes the worst of times

Becomes the best of times
