Coat

The seasons change

and so does my coat,

leaving you to drown

in this hair filled moat.

Just try to kiss me

and you will find

a beard of fur

is quite divine.

Lost is one thing

that I will never be

since I leave in my wake

little pieces of me.

#tbt

A darkness resides,

deep within my soul,

ready to strike as needed,

simmering like hot coal.

–

Too many times I’ve been burned
so now the tables are turned.

I’ll let my darkness of the leash
and release this deadly beast.

Eloped

I left the next page blank,
as if someday I’d find
the words to finish a story
that should never have left my mind.

The words that bled into the page
couldn’t capture what I’d hoped
and the blank page that I left
took my ideas and eloped.

Haze

How could my heart ever heal

with a wound so deep and raw?

This endless sadness that I feel

is life’s one true flaw.

My tears will never dry

as they flood my broken heart

and the hazy days float by

as I break further apart.

Fur-Dried

I know something is wrong,

I can tell from the tears

that seep into my fur,

that much is clear.

I know someone is missing,

though not where he’s gone

and I know that I miss him

but tomorrow’s a new dawn.

I know why the tears are shed

and I’ll allow them for now.

My fur can dry your tears

while I cry out, meow.
