The early morning hours taunt

until obsession takes over.

Air is so hard to come by 

when worry wanders into minds eye. 

Where is the girl in the photograph

I don’t remember tears.

Time has a firm grip

and the mirror is a cut-throat and a liar.

I am angry with you.

It came cascading down,

as cold as the flame that had drowned in her eyes

a long time ago.

Wrong Number?

November 19, 2008

When I called for you, you didn’t here me.

I was scared and alone, you didn’t hear me.

when I was lost, you didn’t hear me.

You knew I would understand.

understand to read between the lines.

Did you forget me?

I stopped calling for you.

Listen to me. . .
