Marriage. Yes,
The subject has come up,
The old girls even dropped subtle hints.
Christ.
...

I looked in the mirror this morning and an honest man shooting daggers back at me.
i coughed in defense at the weak image i saw, after i inhaled some smarts.
I ate the forbidden fruit
when you told me not to.
...

Just give me a hand
Just help me out
And the moon is just a
Big toenail right now
...

I'm so hungry I can't eat.
I'm so in love her abuse reminds me she's there.
Now on sunset and Doheny where many a merlotnight was spent.
I AM a hopeless romantic
...

I still recal the sound of the 2 A.M. trains
from your open bedroom window.
Nestled between a hidden life and your bedspread
choking on your flame colored hair.
...

no one seems to get it.
my fingers crawl across this thing
I bleed on it spit on it sleep with it.
its the only thing that matters.
...

I told the ol' boy
I had no money
Nothing,
Nada,
...

The fly has got the spider in the corner
and is now f! ckin away.
She never saw it coming.
Smooth legs between which lies the enterance to heresy.
...

Whistling at the bus stop
and my book bag ways heavy.
I
Stagger and shuffle down the boulevard.
...

The best in line for the slaughter are those who don’t participate. Those with health insurance are prime candidates for eternal life.
The man with no family will one day be hailed as a hero.
The actor with no headshots, the farmer with no shovel, the head without a brain just might one day become president.
We cant stop the invasion of bug eyed mutants who thin their peevish poindextorous ways are funny or innovative. Best we can do is pray for a large asteroid or title wave or earthquake or some thing. Anything.
...

Waking up in the great oblivion.
wanting everything and remembering more
talking about taking hold of the world
only taking hold of my balls
...

Quiet empty streets
Chilled to perfection.
The Scent's in the air.
I'm gonna get close to you..
...

The words float by
In single file
In your brain
you just wan't to grab the right ones
...

Down the murder red well
the gentle serpent, friendly predator a thousand colors bright
is awakened by the fire.
devours oxygen
...

Sitting at the great ones table
And I feel all alone.
Pumping a 12 gauge round down the throat of the principal
And getting no satisfaction.
...

On top of the world
And everything looks so small from up here
I swear I thought only good could come from my honesty.
I know sometimes it hurts, though
...

Well, I took a shower for an hour
and that was just the other day.
I gotta look my swellest for the ball or premiere
or what ever they're calling it these days.
...

I got a little burried tresure Hidden deep in my brain.
The mystical green gold of Panama
Showing me what heaven must look like.
And it looks like
...

Gimme more than a flesh wall of relief.
I need a sexy stranger of punk rock descent.
Gimme a dangerous little stranger.
Someone who will bring me to my knees.
...

use to be a bartender.
just told you to drink me.
guess you should know how to mix it.
. well alright.
...

The Best Poem Of matt fromm

Amor

Marriage. Yes,
The subject has come up,
The old girls even dropped subtle hints.
Christ.
Even my friends and family
Have come right out and said it.

There's no need, really, to repeat it.
It went something like
'marry her! '
And that was it.

She changed me.
I can't marry someone like that.
She made me believe in soul mates.
She made me fall in love
Again.
She made me
Want
To quit drinking.
She made me believe
In my self.
She made me fall in love...
She made me fall in love.

How could I marry someone that controlling?

I love the way you write. It's like reading your thoughts and I like how it's not romanticized and pretty. You often paint an ugly picture, a realistic one.. Keep up the good work Meghan
