don't_depend_on_him
Ouroboros he's certainly not depending on me 060510
...
Ouroboros focus focus
on my own responsibilities
instead

...
Ouroboros i keep dreaming about him 060520
...
Ouroboros because he is not interested
in being honest
or open
060521
...
Ouroboros i will keep it all to myself
saying it outloud to you
sharing myself with you
isn't getting me anywhere

id rather write poems
and feel my heart beat

Ouroboros Good job falling for unavailable men- yes- go for the one who steals and lies and drinks and avoids and evades, go for the one who relies on drugs and his mania to keep him going, fall for the one whom you don't trust. Make sure to not look deeper, or question or wonder. Just keep on keep on. 061003

Ouroboros "Do you like me?"
I asked the blue blazer.
No answer.
Silence bounced out of his books.
Silence fell off his tongue
and sat between us
and clogged my throat.
It slaughtered my trust.
It tore cigarettes out of my mouth.
We exchanged blind words,
and I did not cry,
and I did not beg,
blackness lunged in my heart,
and something that had been good,
a sort of kindly oxygen,
turned into a gas oven.
Do you like me?
How absurd!
What's a question like that?
What's a silence like that?
And what am I hanging around for,
riddled with what his silence said?
