We Don't Speak Anymore:

It's funny that way

How human beings become strangers

A number of months,

A year in the making,

Suddenly nothing but vacant.

Vacant space from my head to yours

As I convince myself I might maybe

Still know who you are

In some hopeful, delusional life,

I'm able to talk to you.

But in this existence, I am a coward.

I cannot speak.

And for that I do not know

If I hate myself.

~J.K.M.

Headaches:

The pressure raising in my temples

Causes a discomfort I should know by now.

But every time the pain comes rushing in

My heart aches in time to my head.

I should be used to it all now

But I'm not.

You're like the headaches that come.

I should know by now what it means

To dully ache in time to my heartbeat

But each time it comes again

I cry as if

It's the first time I've ever had a headache.

~J.K.M.
