She was honestly looking out the window / pretty as usual / but the sighs sounded familiar / bound and confused? / stranded in ruins? / wracked my brain trying to figure out who hurt you / with your iris pulsating out of your pupils / and your heart jumping around in hoola hoops / I just couldn't even say Hi after you let me get a glance of you / .. I'm incoherently trying to get you / I'm sorry .. I meant indirectly ? / leave out the self projectory theories when your with me / if you get to actually genuinely take a step back and soak in the scenery / you'll realise maybe dating girls isn't as weird as your mom makes it out to be / so enough with the anxiety? .. I guess trust me and stop fighting "we" ?

The last poem I'll ever write about her.
Sinking / Dripping in drudgery and drinking .. You.. Away.. / I don't drink but that sounded cool to say / You've infiltrated my soul with hate / and now I'm left wondering what's my fate? / Gradually letting go of my grace/ as I flick the ash from my blunt on the ash tray / .. Carried out and falsely branded now / by the words that stained the air after coming out of your mouth / Leaving and letting go of how it all sounds / cause "I'm not winter or summer but autumn after the leaves fall out ? " / right? Cause thats what it feels like when the cards are laid down / and your behaviour starts to get faul / after I call you out / It's all a cycle of immaturity and toxic chaos ,no doubt / but you can't leave me, now? Can you ? / You'd hate to feel man handled and strangled by all THAT sadness.

THE Ground 2.
As above so below / below I go.. as my soul feels unformidable / uncomfortable, distraught & destroyed / like lapoliths dissolving into soil/ coiled and coined / .. sold and bought by the same buyers every weekend / do you think the tree gives a **** about what side you need shade in? / blatently impatient / unsteady and steadily waiting on the same old things that kept you incomplacent / belligerently praying , on the day when space and time no longer define how long you'll stay here / keep me awake and far away ../ Far from the illusion of me being this major mistake / "it's all in your head" you say / lying next to my shoulder awaiting day break, / for Pete's sake will the sun ever rise today / Screaming and shouting,.. as I start kicking your knees and you stand there proudly / watching me pouting / silence worth a thousand.. Pronouns. "Don't make a sound, we're not alike but I can tell you'll end up liking me somehow. "
