Spotted

Nerf ammo

On a

Co-worker's desk

Sneaky little nerd

Just might

Start some mess

Best think twice

'Fore my patience

He tests

It's for fools like him

Sweet Jesus wept

Can't wait to see his

Dumbfounded reaction

When I get to my desk

And he finds out...

I'm packin'!

-DeRicki

You meet somebody new,

stuff in common, no clue.

but you give it a go.

You know you should go slow.

Initial excitement,

a whirlwind, good moments.

Directing myself away from the stars

From the sparkles. The glitter and rhinestones.

They're tarnished now. By the weight of your eyes. The resentment

I chased the impossible.

A war of good and evil inside my mind. I chased the moon. Hoping to lasso it for you and your resenting eyes.

Unapologetic about your lies

Unappreciative of the doors I opened.

You spurned me. Left me fetal on the floor in piss and bourbon and booze.

Vomiting the remains of our love and swallowing it down to keep your love inside of me.

To keep you and I alive.

Piss on my corpse and walk away into their arms. Call it fear and feed your excuses to the wind.

I'm lying stock-still in the moment and hoping you got off

I saw

stars

ascending

Diamonds

melting

Within me

Her eyes.

As my wet hair slides between my lips

I sit here thinking of you

Trapped behind the keys

Watching patiently the window of change

I want to reach out gently

Hold you like a child

Soothe you with a constant love

But...

Split ends get tangled

Rejection and pride scream metal edge

So I bite the hair

Spit fire and turn away
