I wrote I miss you in the recess of a muddy puddle
Letting the water dismantle my words, ever so quietly
No cracks to behold, or a sliver vacuity, just a blur..
Always a blur.
I sprayed I hate you in red ink all over the road
Something for the rubber to make noise on, since I never did
It mixed with grime until I couldn’t see anymore
And neither could the driver.
I wrote I love you in blood on a scribbled math page
Letting it fade, as all the passion had
The coal mine of our land, empty now
Depths to fall in.
I typed I give up in a font that you would despise
Giving my fingers room to move
As I kept my mouth shut, scared of being driven into words.
I scrawled that I don’t care anymore
Or that I don’t miss you anymore
Letting the remembrance of those our love had killed rock me to sleep.
I write like you- not like you.
And its all true, what I write, except maybe-
I don’t miss you-
But I miss you when I’m breathing.

Where are you going?
In Railway parade
There is a girl
Oh where are you going now?
Her fingers to busy, to quick for traps
She is writing the love of a the storm
Oh where are you going now?
She wants for you to stay
Like the simile for metaphors
An undecided thing
Oh where is she going now?
It’s almost Christmas Eve
Oh don’t follow; she knows the way well
Oh where are we going now?
No salvation on this Yuletide Eve, this Yuletide Eve
There is a present underneath the tree
The one that is from me
Where do we go now?
Where are we going?
I bought you my heart
But Jesus smashed it on the floor
And took my soul away, a verse at a time
Where will I go now?
You’ve gone where I can’t follow.
