Can't kill myself so writing shitty poems
I can't and won't kill myself even though the end of my marriage still feels like living in hell. I've been writing shit poems but I shouldn't and don't send them to her because what would it do? Nothing and that'd make it all even worse. Anyway here's one. Sorry for posting this fuckin garbage but I have to get this pain pitside myself somehow.
Remember
when we kissed
in Heathrow Airport
the day we met
and in my car by the side of the river
right before my mother went mad
and when we were lost and searching
for that New Years' Party
in the rain
and below the bridge in Mostar
which is still in a photograph
you've moved into the utility room
and remember
when we kissed
at the altar
under the sun
and we'd chosen the place because
we'd seen those two deer
leaping together
and
when you found out you
were pregnant
while we were
hungover
and
when you found out you
were pregnant again
while we were
ships passing
and remember
when we kissed
Good Night
every night
for fifteen years
And now
all I want
even still
laying awake
my heart a dying star
is to kiss you again
to have fifty
no
a hundred and fifty
no
a thousand lines
in this poem
of all the times
we would have kissed
it'd have been
enough to fill
a book
enough to fill
a life
I wish I could stop
loving you
or that I could
die
but it is what it is
which is what we say
no help at all
