my refusal to get up

I want to lay here forever
beneath the cloudy mist of sleep blurred eyes
and pillow tousled hair 
I want to stay here
where it's warm 
blanketed in the half forgotten dreams of last night
and the thin sheets of awareness
I want to remain in this place 
between thoughtless bliss
and the tiny urge to go to the bathroom 
here
I want to be
here
where you are with me
and dreams are reality 
and my life outside my paint splattered door
is just a painting
a mindless doodle on a page
or a scribbled out phrase
I want to stay in bed
now why wont you let me?

  • The Boxes In The Corner

    Looming over your shoulders

    Each stack higher than its former

    Every thought and every scrap

    Of an idea too scared to ponder

     

    Every moment that hurt

    Each minute that lingered longer

  • Inadequacy


    How do I push the words out
    From behind my taffy tongue 
    Thick with salty tears 
    And full of grubby thumb 


    I’m a child 
    Pretending that I’m numb 
    To escape the overwhelming feelings 

  • Paper Frogs

    Why

    When feet fall soft but quick 

    Does the hallway extend

    And the hot breath of whoever’s behind me feel hotter 

    Why do I stay pressed to the wall 

    Like a stubborn gruby sticker
