Easy Prey

It’s not

That you have

The audacity

To wear

My doorbell thin

It’s more

The fact

That I’m powerless

To act

And can’t help

But let you in


‘… Such Sweet Sorrow’

Every
time
we
say
goodbye

I wish
that
you
would
stay

For
another
part
of my
soul is
crushed

Each

you
walk
away

For my heart to be capable

Of love

Don’t think you can come

Crawling back now

Acting all innocent

And holier than thou

You and I both know

What you did back then

And why, in effect,

I’d wring your neck

Time and time again


Let It Burn

I have killed us

Once before

And I will happily

Do it again

For I am

No longer

In love with you

In fact we’re

Not even friends
