An old poem I wrote on Friday, June 29. 2007 entitled:
DIALOGUE
And yours snapped
Was loud
Made me laugh
Made me think
Got mad
Threatened
Loved me
And I wrote it all down in my head
To keep when I felt my own page was empty
And to see your dimples when you smiled
After you spoke it
Or your dark framed glasses stab through me
When you watched my reaction
And the words that came
When we were together
Tied me to the bed with leather handcuffs
And I begged for your words
That I sucked on
And chewed
Impassioned me
And now
The words are hatred
Rage
Pain
Because I was too afraid to leave out the punctuation
I had to put down the period
No semi-colon
No comma
I had to stop the run on sentence before it began
But what an amazing sentence it had become
Even though it was simple
And short
And telling
My emails and my blog
I wrote to match your dialogue
Just made you feel more abandoned
And unloved
I erased what would have been fantastic poetry
I tend to write empty words that end too soon
Or better yet
