Reminder

"Where have all
the red roses gone?"
I ask myself
as I cut through
the thread
of crosses
across my chest.

"Thump, thump,
thump..."
Beats my heart
even as I
pull it out.

When I thought
that this pain
would kill me,
I realized
it was there-
it happened
so I could feel
alive.

Sometimes,
pain
is a reminder
that we feel,
that we are
alive.

And as the clock
ticks by,
as rosebuds bloom,
I heal,
and I am ready
to love
and hurt
Once more.

Bitter Black

The bell rings And you turn your head to me Greeting once again with that toothy grin A warm welcome This place outside feels more like home than home. "Come sit. The usual?" Even you know me better than how he knows me. Bitter, bitter black drips from the machine Just my daily dose of relief. Serve me 'nother cup And we'll drown Even your sweet words are no match for this bitter His bitter The flavor he's left on me How could I forget? Serve me 'nother cup.
