Game Over - SoZeSoZe

I miss the family

we never had

and the one we try

to have but are

falling

short of

a happy ending

but not the family

which is drama

and tragedy

and comedies of

triangulations

and disarticulations -

the sort of story

a simple silver

wedding band

could never write,

alone

the sort where

a husband's tales

are lip

serviced lies

alibies and departures.

Intimacy - Semo90

I miss intimacy, connection

the kiss, chemical reaction, but

not the hit and miss -

the pursuit and distance,

the games of tag

and always being "it"

I miss, the kiss that didn't

happen, the I Love You

caught on the tip

of your tongue

tripping me up

while I run.

Hey, peekaboo,
you cover your eyes
but I still see. You

blame me every time blood runs

and there's a lot of blood letting
done, in the name of the Victim
the Saint, the Holy Son. You

blame me while you bleed me dry

Hey, Peekaboo,
You cover your eyes
but I still see you.

I miss good sex, but
not mutual masturbation,

side by side
in the dark, silence creeping
over my belly and breasts

onto my tongue
like a death threat.

such orgasms
leave stains of despair
no shower can erase.

Backstabber-Damage W

I miss the man, who

 I thought had my back, but not 

the look-alike man, who

twists his lies

doing bodily harm

leaving grievious holes

where dreams escape
faster than the speed
of blood.

Force a smile - Lydiannacat

Joy finds her name,
hard to live up to.
Her face hurts
from smiling
too hard
too much
too often.

During a recent visit
to the state psychiatric ward
She made friends with a girl
named Faith.

Faith said, "God never gives us more
than what we can handle"

Joy noticed the bandages
wound around Faith's wrists
and though she was not sure
she imagined metalic seepage
that began at a soul level
and slowly bled through cliche.

Sometimes, It all seems
rather too much.
