Empty

(Originally written December 21, 2009 in the Journal)

Empty

The permafrost of my heart warmed a moment.
Just long enough to crack in two.
I reached out for my love and grasped the air.
Empty, my hand retreated back to its place.
Alone, lifeless at my side.

Unraveling

(Originally written December 17, 2009 in The Journal)

Oh Ashley, I'm sure you feel so neglected.

Unraveling

Don't weep for me
Not a single tear shall you shed.
The pain across my face will pass with time.
I am on the downward spiral.
But, this path for me is well trodden.
See look, I am unraveling.
But in the end I'm left with this pile of yarn -
Ready to recreate my world.
