Fireplaces

My Girl
She sits 
Quiet and still 
Seemingly disconnected

She’s thinking a thousand things
And wanting to say
A hundred more 
The tempest 
The passion
The fire of a million suns
Burns within
And she holds 
Her tongue 
To let me shine

Beyond repair
And there are no healers

To care for us
When the souls
Have died
And yet the flesh
Continues on

A heart that 
Encourages hatred 
Lips that say
The ugliest words
A filthy aura
That contaminates 
All it touches
Can you 
LOVE
With who you’ve become

Longer nights
The empty and hollow
Silence
Raging in her ears
All that’s left are
The tears that melt
Into the cracked concrete
Of an overprotected soul

In This Life or the Next

She was 
Quite done 
With this life
And ready to find
A forever home
Among the stars
She leapt
And the Moon 
Caught her
