Make Me

I am bullets

I can kill

I have no soul

I have no will

I need someone

To take my hand

To pull my trigger

And make me land

Might

If I  could see the beauty in me

In all my imperfection

might not be so self-absorbed

If I could see the beauty in you

In all your imperfection

Enough

I have fear

I have felt its pain

It looks like anger

I know the difference

I don’t have enough hate to use it

I have been hurt

I swore I would die

I wanted to return the hurt

To inflict my suffering

I don’t have enough hate to use it

I have a gun

It has bullets

It works

I have fired it

I don’t have enough hate to use it

Sadness

turns to presence

Without excitement

Being without doing

And knowing without fixing

Long I Wonder

I wondered what the last days of my life would be,

I wondered what I would do,

All along I wondered.

Then you took me out to sea.

I was floating wondering how long the end of life would be.

Then my eyes while they were floating,

Came to see that you were me.

Unspoken

I start with a broken leg,

Travels through my spine.

I feel like a fragile egg,

Dancin’ on the edge of time.

I don’t know why I’ve survived,

With a heart that is so broken,

I wish I could start again,

All the words I’ve said unspoken.

In Your Wake

Something in my head tells me you’re gone

It’s like a silent space that empties out

A screw that’s missing, a hollow spot

I am filled when you are here

I am not so much when missing you

Vacantly I travel the same roads

But they seem to echo differently

They seem to sell me so short

They seem to have nothing

Them you appear in my horizon

Suddenly I am plugged back in

My breath returns with such a noticeable gasp

I didn’t recognize how much was lost from my day

Now I remember how it feels to feel.

Oh my god, I’d forgotten you

How could I have been pretending so well

I wonder if it was a visible effect

Did everyone but me know it

The aching I didn’t feel is gone

Replaced by you with you and for you

Pleasure has arrived with your return

A calming peace presides in my head

I’m floating on the walk and life begins to beat

My surprise is that I managed to ignore

The gaping hole you left in your wake

I promise to always carry you

I vow to never let you go

Return

I offer sweet words of wisdom to myself

And gently give them to you

In this moment everything is perfect

You are ok

You’re more than ok

You are perfect

Life is this breath and this touch

Feel the air going into your body

Enjoy that

That is all there is

Whenever you feel any pain, anywhere, just

 return to the breath

There is nothing that can take you away from

 the truth

It is only an illusion

There is no need to believe it

Return to the breath

And again
