i’m going to forget tonight
maybe shred your words,
over and over until there's
nothing left, or I might just
let the night blow them away
with my headache.
my steel defenses
crumbled . . .

all his life,
he wanted to burn
but now he fades away,
slowly, like an echo.
the pain brings me to my knees.
i cry for him.

the world lost it's mind
and we had us a picnic of tears.
you and i, alone,
crouching in a corner, dark
sipping cocktails made with tears.
i cracked up and you broke
into a thousand pieces of . . .

everyday
you just pine away
in grief unspoken, unshown
unrevealed, in blind stoicism.
i can see the tears of your silence.
your sadness generates more sadness
and your painting hangs on the empty . . .

last night i hurt myself to find out if i coud still feel.
a red stream splashed to the ground and i wrote your name, beloved. i wrote it in red.
last night i sang a slow song there was only one word . . .

i've never felt so lost
within the confines of certainty.
i've never had to scream in pain
in the places where i find pleasure.
i found the girl of my dreams and she's
the hydra of my . . .

i should've known
there'd be times like this,
times when you'd come
across like a
whisper in the wind.
i should've taken my
time to listen to the
whisper . . .

i know.
all the noise
just kills your tears
and you can talk now
and smile a little now
and feel comforted, now
that it is daytime and
the pain is just a dull
numbing at the back
of the mind, . . .

dawn broke
and my heart broke with it.
suddenly i become empty
and my soul aches when
i call your name.
the sunrise feels your absence
and the sofa mourns.
dawn is beautiful like a sad virgin, . . .

i bought you flowers,
red flowers.
for the first time, i
made you cry.
you cried words
you had locked away
for sixteen days,
things you should've said
a long time ago.
your words bled . . .

PART I
a parcel came in the mail
first page:
these were my dreams
when i had a life.
pages spilled memories,
colour and emotions.

but i'll probably never
let you know.
and i don't mind the

'cos i'd love to have your love.
and i understand
why you love the . . .

love is for fools,
and you've been a fool twice,
staring out our window, nights,
and wafting sweet dreams to a soul
that lavishes in ignorance, bliss
of you.
pray harder.
your love loves another . . .

murderer.
i called you murderer
as you killed all the

everything i had.
but you didn't mind.
and each time you
killed another one,
a lily died. . . .

friendship was when
i held your hand
and we walked by
dried up creeks
with dead spirits on the banks
and saw nothing but paradise,

love?
love was when you left
and the colours . . .
