Kris & Rozz

Kris and Rozz



she sings in smoke filled room
and its like hearing two songs at once
but its just noise because
there’s too much being said
when no one is really listening

behind her
he tightens c(h)ords
in search of music and veins
injects, lets go
as god enters her mind

they are/were
a portrait of
affection and dying
adorning the walls of
a crumbling building
labeled “for storage”

she knows that
no one else can
love her like this
with such abandonment and rage
with desperation that
begs for her touch, her gaze
whatever fragments she might
dribble his way

they pretend they
will grow old together
slipping through gaping holes
without walls to which
to nail themselves
they hang
themselves
from stars

I KNOW WHY

I KNOW WHY



i know why you stay(ed)

not because you want(ed) to
but because there is/was this tug
of words not said
and love that was never given
to people not noticed but starved
in the hands of those
who didn’t deserve it
gorging themselves on something
except your kisses which
should not have been wasted
on turned, blushing cheeks

you stay(ed) because

you ache(d) to know that
you are needed for
hands, thoughts, desires
slipping into hearts and feelings
and the want in the middle of the nite
for the push, the pull
beneath sheets, between legs
that tells you that
you are loved

and yes,
i stay because
i know you

i am in love with you
