My newest poem...not a spoken word piece...
"Nothing quite takes the taste out of peanut butter like unrequited love"-Charles Schulz
Nothing but more is all I ask of you...Some say more is less...Yet I expect nothing but the best things from you...Knowing more than words and voices sing to you...I cling to you...In the hopes that maybe arms would reach out to catch me...
Reality slipping into comfortability...A life worth living...filled with years of fighting in futility...Maybe I don't even understand me...enough to fathom the concept of we...love begins with the greek word fraternate...in my limited understanding of things...
My Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches don't taste the same...lord knows I love them...Been eating them since I was a babe...Maybe its because you and peanut butter share the same skin tone and....thinking about you this way feels so wrong...yet I can't help but think I'm right...sometimes light has to peek out from behind a smile to let you know exactly how dark you've become...
I found myself in the "Lost" box in a country town with a University in it...I found my flaws in a city with a big football stadium...I found love in a forgotten apartment complex in a hidden city...I found you...somewhere in between it all...It's funny how I lost my mind and my heart in the same week because of two different women...One I know...One...I...want to...
I find myself waking up in the middle of the night...yearning to drive down the backroads and eat at EVERY restaurant in the middle of nowhere...let's not go there...the many laughs we shared...all but killed me once upon a time...mainly because I was already emotionally suicidal...and seeing you just made me want to...feel...for the first time...again...
My tastebuds have resumed their normal duties...my nostrils have shrunken back to their regular size...my heart has healed...my mind has changed...my legs are stronger...my arms are wider...my pride is intact...yet my soul is still in traction...
Nurse?I need a peanut butter sandwich...to take my pain away...
