Surrounded by lesser beings
has me feeling a heathen

I hear them talk,
and I can't even

but here she is,
the beacon

I'm freaking!

Have I finally found an equal?
A beautiful soul,
that's just a little bit evil?

The look in her eyes has me feeling so regal
the combined weight of our intellect
utterly lethal

is this even legal?

How?
How can one person be so perfect?

So lost,
yet so found?

I hope he knows she's perfect.
I hope he knows she's worth it.

I hope he sees her talent,
I hope he sees her creativity,

her proclivity
to take all the pain
and make something beautifully humane

A work of art on par
with someone who I will only ever know from afar

I hope he sees this star
and helps her shine brighter

But above all
I hope he fails,
I hope she bails

I hope she stumbles,
and fumbles,
and her world crumbles

if only to see,
what  the pain will come out to be.

I still talk to her
but it's never the same
she's changed,
yet she still remains quintessential her
and her is perfect
and I never deserved it

tried to grasp for her love
but it was never worth it
for I was worthless

curse this!

how the **** can I cure this?

A love so beautiful
with a girl so unusual

can I do anything useful?
I'd tell her how I feel
but I feel it wouldn't be fruitful

she's moved on
if she was ever there
and now another man gets to call her dear

News Flash!
He was already with her
and you were never in the ******* picture!

kiss your love goodbye

just another lonely night
spent trying not to cry
thinking you ought to die

until you reach for the bottle
grasping for any feeling of alive
any chance to drive
the lies from your mind

you search
but you never find

oh cruel world
just for once
can't you be kind?

a reply,
not even when you die.

Here I am
a young, lonely, crazy man
who just hatched up a crazy plan

to ****** back my sanity
and regain my vanity

in a world full of calamity
poetry will become my clarity

I say this with the utmost sincerity

In my mind,
rational thoughts have become a rarity

I'll take them back though!

with a knapsack,
a pen, and a pad

and a steady to desire
to no longer be
simply a fad.
