Empty Words

I don't wanna be

The bowl

Where you leave

Your keys

On the table

By the door 

That you walk 

In and out of

An afterthought

I keep your keys

Safe

Everyday

But you never say

Thanks

And to be honest

It sucks

To be the vessel

That holds 

Your prized possessions

But never 

Ever 

Once

Gets any more of you

From you

I don't wanna be 

Used 

I'd honestly 

Rather be 

Empty

I know I know... that this list is my truth  and my  heart  has been  lost

Despair Words

He sees something special  something precious  and it gets us  a bit further than I'd expected we could go  but I know that I respond better to pain to putting  my pieces  together  after being  disassembled carefully with disdain  distinctively careless  poetic refrain we repeat it it's the moment the whole thing the weakness that invades  every  single  smile he gives every single day I live trying  to see things different  to change my vision I see someone he swears doesn't exist in  his frame of view  and I smile  and disagree  and offer  the saccharine  sweet  sordid  version of me the one crafted  by actions  of men many years my  senior many meaner many beers in  sometimes sober  subtle  often over  the weekends  behind the bleachers benign sweetness say the non believers I ache for her  but she's fortified...
