21/M/my apartment in texas poet-engineer / (or at least half both)
You've learned the way that light knows Through windows, cracks, and doors To gain my heart from out my chest And offer me all yours

Sunshine Doesn't Have to Knock
You’ve made substance out of textures, painted bones from fragile skin Implied the world into being, a home for me again I’m rooted in the dirt and sheathed in keratin But living now just for the mist that quietly descends

The Quality of Being Loved
Sitting on an island Between slumber and work, Tuning into all the waves that pass me by I’ve made my big decision Reason firm set in my mind But diluted by the breaking of the tide

Leather Cushions
I can’t quite believe inertia, One day this ball will stop Stop me from the future Held so dear by you Your view paints it like crystal But I’ve been fooled before By tarot cards behind the bars Where I drank till my doom was true

Self-Fulfilling
God’s way isn’t pain, That’s not what we believe Take that needle from your brain, It will only make you bleed Discomfort is your friend, But your knife cuts too deep Don’t search for needless wounds, Life gives them out for free God looks on you with love, So you can do the same Recognizing still, There’s things that ought to change

Some virtues don’t make a good rule of life My mailbox knows this is true He’d no need to add to damages paid Had he moved aside, And let that car through
