life as we know it should never be the same
the girl dancing at the front of the stage
should be me
a checklist for the incomplete
my life on paper
i'll say 'i love you' to a stranger
to hear it out loud
there's something to cross off
i'll kiss you and run to mexico
we'll say i'm complete
and the ocean will never be the same
because you're not there to tell me it doesn't exist
the eyes that sparkle in the sky
you'll never name them for me anymore
we'll pretend the sky made up the word love
and we never existed
you'll say were wasted
and i'll drown my sorrows in my tears
politics will rule time and space
affection will be the past
and the future is metal and dead
we'll cry dry tears
speak of how young we were
..and move on..

******************

Ocean? never existed? Now that is not a thought I would like to even imagine.  

Seriously, this speaks volumes of a heartache that just reached it's peak.  Has that hard life knocks thing about it.  You bring it to life very vividly and though not a happy thought, it was a very powerful and enjoyable read.

LOVE


Two thousand cigarettes.
A hundred miles
from wall to wall.
An eternity and a half of vigils
blanker than snow.

Tons of words
old as the tracks
of platypus in the sand.

A hundred books we didn’t write.
A hundred pyramids we didn’t build.

Sweepings.
Dust.

Bitter
as the beginning of the world.

Believe me when I say
it was beautiful.
