love me if you dare

a less-than-sincere note to critics
maybe you think you know me
and maybe you do
but if you read this and find
me a little strange
or even frightening,
then i guess you never knew me
welcome to the real world

heart of wax

hot heavy liquid -
a molten mixture of
broken promises, un-met expectations, raw bitterness -

poured into my heart.
night after night after night. there is no
escape.

each morning i find the wax,
cooled and hardened
into a layer

that stops me from feeling
too much.

and each time
the layer thickens
til i find myself
filling up
fast

til i cannot breathe
cannot feel my heart beat
cannot move

and still it fills me up
til i cannot live

and each time
my capacity to contain
life's heartaches
shrinks

until

i overflow.

yours truly
