Pet Peeves

Tiny little offs

That throw me off course

The train curves off the track

But no one holds remorse


Too small for a change

Too large for them to see

I sit here stuck

With my pet-peeve


The tapping of a shoe

The feeling of nails

The taste in my tounge

The sloshing of water pails


They make me shiver

Cold down my spine

If only I wasn’t so bothered

And could finally recline


I want to recoil

Go back i...

It’s In The Past

Buried the pain

Of us together


Burried the betrayal

Of memories gone stale


As days fade the memories return

A painful tale I can’t tell


Trauma stays around me

Panic claws at me


Emotions held back boil

Trying to keep everything under soil


Mother makes my blood boil

What’s wrong


Talk to me


Tell me the truth


I asked you a question


I don’t need their help

Iv faced hell alone

Flies

Flies

Flies

Flies

All day long

They sing their obnoxious fly song

All night long

They make believe Louis Armstrong

They buzz and buzz

And buzz some more

It’s gotten so bad that my ears are red and sore

Apparantley I’m unaware of their long long lore...

Playing Everything but Husband

Chicken sizzles in the skillet

Machine gun fire roars

I begin to feel it

“Stupid whores!”


I flip the chicken.

Peals of laughter down the hall

I’m panic-stricken

There’s a thin layer of dust on the wall


There’s a pile of dishes in the sink

The gaming chair creaks

“Babe, get me a drink!”

I pop the Dr. Pepper tab with a clink


The puppy pissed the floor

I’m drowning in this house

“Than...

Children Are Annoying

Children are annoying

There I said it

They terrorise

Aware of unconditionality

So have no fear

To ask for comfort

At 4am

To say they hate you

At the mere denial of sugar

Or for the thought crime of feeling bored

After the 17th repetition of that shitty game


But an annoying friend you can ditch

A pain-in-the-arse sibling you pinch

Over coffee you can bitch about a colleague who is self aware as a...

Customers

The clock reads 5:51

Not a customer in sight

Everything for closing done

Almost out of work for the night


No cars driving by

No phone calls to be heard

The deli slicer so clean

It was almost absurd


Then a customer walks in

I think nothing of it

He asks for some sliced meats

And I want to tell him to shove it


What can I get for you?

I ask insincere

The deli is dark

It’s closed, and that’s cle...

Be Real

What happened to the old adage

What you see… Is what you get?


Yes…it’s one of my biggest pet peeves,

As it causes my skin to crawl…


When you change like the weather,

depending on who you’re around

or who you’re with.


I’m sure you don’t even know your

acting differently, you’re probably

totally unaware,

and that’s fine too.

I’ll probably never tell you it bothers me,

No…I’ll just let you ...

Never The Same

I hate how you run your fingers through your hair

And how you smile at me

When I’m unprepared

I hate the way you look at me

It catches me off guard

It makes me freeze

I hate how you say my name

I hate that ever since you

I’ll never be the same...
