I would love to write a master piece
Though I know my need to best it
Would drive me to drink
Gain some knowledge and grow wiser
Even if it meant my perspectives would change
Defend something I believe in
Even if only for the principle of the thing
Witness something beautiful
Even though I know all beauty fades
Love another unimaginably so
Knowing that person would slip away
To have that luster for life
No matter the price
Regardless of how much things change
Because at least in the end
I could say I lived
And I didn't miss a thing
At least I could say
I lived life to the fullest
Before I slipped away
Though I know my need to best it
Would drive me to drink
Gain some knowledge and grow wiser
Even if it meant my perspectives would change
Defend something I believe in
Even if only for the principle of the thing
Witness something beautiful
Even though I know all beauty fades
Love another unimaginably so
Knowing that person would slip away
To have that luster for life
No matter the price
Regardless of how much things change
Because at least in the end
I could say I lived
And I didn't miss a thing
At least I could say
I lived life to the fullest
Before I slipped away

Love Me
Love me!
I scream these two words over and over in my head.
As if he would hear it if it was loud enough.
Love me!
Love me!
But he just goes about his usual business
sitting at his usual table in the usual diner
My eyes burning holes in his back.
LOVE ME!
He looks up and I hold my breath
did he hear?
did he feel my eyes?
But he just motions the nearby waitress and asks for another coffee.
LOVE ME!
I startle when he puts his coffee cup on the table
he stands up and walks towards me
my heart is pounding and I hide behind the menu
pretending to be very intensely reading it.
Then he walks past me and out the door.
love me

Roadmaps
I have traced my fingers along,
following undulating roads
on faded parchment maps but
there is no X
to mark the spot
where you should be.
I have pushed my way past
half-lit tunnels of willow
leaves, tread over mossy rocks
and overturned each one,
searching for clues, arrows.
I have mapped the stars and
their trails that I might
never be lost - but I am wandering
all the same without
you.
I have studied each roadsign;
followed each one
to its dead end
and U-turned back
to where I started.
I have traced my
footsteps,
over and over,
searching for the place
where I lost my way,
but there is no path back
to you.
