Jack of all Trades, Master of Fun.
I close my eyes and think, Of a life where we’d not met, Where we’d stay apart forever, I imagine that’s regret.

To halve, to hold
oh sweet merciful vacation holiday your sloth is grace lay me further into bedding let not the sun ****** my face for it is here in bed im cradled give me only moments rest i am weary from my labor comfortably beneath deaths breast

Thou shalt not nap
There are no women or children, There is no food in hell, For it was Lucifer who so loved Man, Who so loved god, and fell. There are flags and damp cigars, There is cheap scotch and rich stains, There are bodies in the streets, And walls covered in shed brains. There are eyes in the ceilings, Ears adorning chairs and cots, Silence rules each room and hallway, Every day distorts your thoughts. You will not remember yesterday, Nor your life tomorrow will take, Sleep will bring you only suffering, The hell is knowing that you’ll wake.

What anger gets
To love you is to watch my tone To love you is to charge my phone To love you is to quell each maybe To love you is to FaceTime the baby To love you is to laugh off fights To love you is to prolong goodnights To love you is to praise each quirk To love you is to hide at work To love you is to get the gist To love you goes beyond a list

To love, you:
I’ve been trying my best to be a good host, Though I have no idea as to what suits a ghost, I’ve offered them food, and watched it all rot, I’ve offered my wardrobe, no clothes they sought, I lit a fire for sitting, but they’d no need for heat, I freed up the best armchair, for none to take seat, I’d availed the dead, and was left feeling loose, And so held my head up with the help of this noose, It’s no wonder their company’s naught for to boast, If you ask me, I’ll tell you to give up the ghost.

Give up the Host
Keep time and good company, Stay laissez-faire, Of your diet, be mindful: Of your body; take care. With intention and tact, Choose well what you wear, Downtown or in the garden, Be seen without glare. When you're mannered and prim; You're fit to a pair, Politely, be you, Though be a you they can bear.

Advice
Heart had been rended into a void. Something ghastly. A change had occurred, and the liberty ahead was suffocating. This was a hurt, a reeling, preceding an exceedingly painful bout of shaking and the occasion of its call was not you at all. Quite the opposite, actually. You were the lofty feeling before a fall.

ReEntry
It was the same routine, She'd get on her knees, He'd pray her jaw wouldn't falter, With naught else to bring, He'd try hard to please, She'd guide his maw to the altar. Till a sour taste remained in spaces, Their waists hastened to fill, In a glass case, it stayed, faceless, Its tiny screaming, born still.

You're the only one I have to write about, Though I've regained my will to live. How much pain could I have saved us both, I never knew how much you had to give. Don't misunderstand me, we had to go our own ways, I placed too much faith in how we'd separate. Tried to save you, tried to save my idea, late, I tried and failed, should've known, Should've committed to my parting anger, you should've never called my phone. I remember you in dreams, sometimes I wake up with an empty arm, I carved my heart into a target, when you left I wanted harm, Anything other than the shining light of warmth and bickering we grew through all the distance, but the depth and feeling between the raw *********** of *** and reeling images nestled in the difference of our wrists' width couldn't begin to cut away the lacrimal plaque in my eyes after you cracked the glass and I shot to panic. Those winter nights inside of you, The way we let each other in, The way you helped me drift away from how my old man treated women, After us I almost wandered back again. If not for losing you I never would've reached out, I never would've wanted so badly just to die, You were my fated leap into the madness, You were the push that caused my heart to fly. I want to end us on a good note, I'll fight like hell not to, I'll push against that notion, Like no one ever taught you. I never gave you presents, It was my way, no matter how many hints, Or when you'd tell me right out, Try to cover my brain in prints, I guess I'm better off the bad guy, Sleeping around, cold until my clothes come down, I've moved on, but barely forward, I've only managed not to drown. One day I'll find a partner, Some dawn will find a bed with two, A house and kids, maybe a power couple, Though even if I remain in solitude, in stone, Even then, my life lived alone, Would be forever changed by how much I let myself love you.

Aggravation rose and continues to rise, Twitching perpetually, bruised egos and thighs, "Fascinate me", she seems to say with her eyes, "One and the same", a renewed grip replies. Held and withholding, the harsh truth? She lies. A perfect unfolding of imperfect cries, Dissolve us, resolve thus, the long night implies, Enjoy every moment, she belongs to the skies.
