Love in past tense


Don't tell me that you love me if you left me.

How can you expect me to believe

That love in present tense

has voluntary distance?

Just tell me you loveD me and be gone.

And then I'll always question, forever

If there was always, only, a past.

Feelings

please tell me these feelings will end the nameless ones with no face the terror with no name, the memories hidden in dreams. each day they're getting less losing weight not getting fed by my choice. but still they persist made a habit by past munchings on the tidbits i threw them by accident. as they waste away i make new creations in my head to replace them. ones with no relations who will not check my past feelings to make sure they're ok. new feelings with the stability to stand on their own two feet though young and new. let them die. death to the traitors who took away my life. i will make new ones to rise again a resurrection of the just. --March 27, 2002

Is it enough

today i let go of something that wasn't mine -- your love. you leant it to me for a while but then you took it back again. i tried to play tug of war because i thought it was mine. but you reminded me it was yours all along to give and take as you chose.            

We must have cats

Rats & bats, We must have cats... To rise out of the fishbowl And say That's THAT! (But the sad thing is That when you have no fish It means that Somebody ate them.... And no matter how cute The cat will be mute Because he got his own tongue To plead the Fifth On the fish.) So, if you live in a fishbowl like This Cat That is Confining and Small and Lowly You must rise above it And keep your head up, And use up your nine lives Quite Slowly. --February 4, 2002
