car ride

the road moves below me
as i sit in my car
focused straight ahead
as the miles go by
the scenery is moot
as the traffic is
what must be watched

Molly’s Christmas play
she was the cutest angel
it was type-casting

under moonless skies
stretching to infinity
a lonely cat yowls

under the night sky
slowly the frost starts to spread
over sleeping grass

Missing You

I miss you a lot.
Even when it isn't raining.
Even when it isn't cold.
Even when it isn't foggy.
Sometimes I even miss you
When you are right here beside me
But
Simulataneously
Worlds away

I'm Me 12/14/09

I am who I am.
And I am not certain,
even when I am unhappy
or outright pissed off at
who I am
that I would want to be
anyone else.

Maybe that is cowardly of me
hugging onto this one exitence I have known
but
I am not able to do
anything else.

i know how you see me

i know how you see me
i should
you have told me often enough
and
each time you do
i want more and more
to be the person you see
instead of just
the person i am

things i've let
slip through my fingers:
sand
time
m&m's
sugar
salt
you
