yang never comes around anymore, and yin has to deal with that daily.



the television set combats the early morning light attempting to violate her state of mind. it makes her feel dirty. chirping birds and dew. the realization that everyone will eventually be coming back to reality to fuck up her solitude. polly jean sings in the background. the other one stirs but never snaps out of it. she longs for some sort of peace in her mind, to feel something in that ravaged chunk of meat some refer to as a heart. this isn't a game. this isn't a thrill ride in negativeland. this is real life. she's come to terms with that but can't find a way to properly cope.
sleep never comes easily for her.
11 a.m. brings on nightmare after bleeding heart nightmare.
9 p.m brings repetition and redundancy.
2 a.m. brings on the never ending desperation.
storm out stage left.
fight the emptiness.
re-enter stage right.
miss bliss suffocates on her own words. she's said them over and over and over and yang never comes back at her with what she thinks her mind needs. yang feels for her. he keeps a chunk of her wrapped tightly around his pinky finger and refuses to give up that tie that he unknowingly binds with. she doesn't seem to mind so much. there's a deep rooted connection, and it's always cataclysmic.
and it goes on
and on
and on.
but her fingers never want to touch another living soul for as long as she lives. her tongue has been tied & her eyes only see what they want. she can't make it stop. nothing positive can come of it because they can't be. not together. not now. maybe ever. so she holds on for as long as he lets her. she finds comfort in her surroundings and tries to forget every catastrophic incident they have shared. she thought she loved him, but her emotions are fucked and expressing them in a suitable fashion is nearly impossible for her. he gets inside her and wraps his hands around her heart. she is powerless. if they could just run away like some sort of gypsy landslide, life would be perfect. but she can't stay and he won't run.

raw with love

 little dark girl with
kind eyes
when it comes time to use the knife 
i won't flinch and i won't blame you.
as i drive along the shore alone...
as the palms wave,
the ugly heavy palms,
as the living does not arrive
as the dead do not leave, 
i won't blame you.
instead
i will remember the kisses...
our lips raw with love,
and how you gave me everything you had
and how i offered you what was left of me.
and i will remember your small room
the feel of you
the light in the window
your records
your books
our morning coffee
our noons our nights
our bodies spilled together
sleeping
the tiny flowing currents
immediate and forever
your leg my leg
your arm my arm
your smile and the warmth of you
who made me laugh
again. 
little dark girl with kind eyes
you have no knife.
the knife is mine and i won't use it yet.
