it took another beautifully broken soul
to understand him.
avp
Alone
he turned off the light
not because he wanted darkness
but because the light had become it.
avp
Place
he fell without a sound,
into that place where his family left their scars.
where their love was never there to last,
just conditions to steal it away …
leaving him hurting in that place
deep and hard.
love
something he heard of,
something he’s seen
something he never felt
AVP
before
before words became bruises,
before your hand was a weapon,
before my shirt lost its white,
and before tears were my food,
you were my father
and i was your son.

AVP
ashes
in the ashes of clipped wings
he kept his love of feathered fragment remains
hidden where no light would find it.
avp
table
looking down through his glass
he saw where the tears of wine
had left their stains of disappointment
deep inside the splinters of a broken table.
avp
raindrops
he hoped the lonely tears that fell down his cheeks
were like the raindrops that fall down from the sky …
for only a little while.
AVP
plan b
old shadows
that hover over the rocks and stones
in front of him
lead him with the wicked echos of regret
that his life had only become
his plan b.
avp
window
the boy in the window
carving a broken heart in his breath,
realized the condensation dripping down
was like watching his tears…
die on his lips.
