To Scott. A little overly-dramatic poem about how I changed so much because of our relationship

You showed me like a mirror what I was

My negativity all reflected in your eyes

It was only then that I saw what I truly was

And I moved beyond, but you could not

And I could only leave you, because I could never heal you

You cling to it like a lifeboat in a sea of happiness

Not realizing how, if you only let go, how much more beautiful life can be..

Jaded Poet, Lonely in Company
. . . and a pen rests by the chalice, pull up a chair by this, the fire, drink long, the ink and wine are able, the script leaps from hand, into the pyre,
. . . yes, the bottle is half full, pull the cork and pour another, hide your eyes deep in the swallow, and we'll burn this script together,
. . . damn the feather, pour the ink, and let the ruin stain those lips, I beg and hope to share this hour, but those hands of yours, will never leave your hips.
By Jarday
