How droll that we allow others to deliver us a sense of security When, as humans, we are impossibly reckless And uncontrollably incognizant Eyes like lovat, hands like silk A smile like opulence, a heart like marble Do not a home make Things so amorphous in already haphazard lives Leads to chaos and catastrophe Inevitably leaving behind pieces of ourselves Scattered around to reconstruct on our own

Erratic
Twenty six letters Merged into thousands of words To form millions of lines of text Lines born by creativity And intelligence To shape, and steady Lines to hold us In sickness, and sorrow In glee, and gladness Lines to narrate So many emotions Of another In hopes of sparking something In us

Lines
Adore them The way they could not adore you Do not be ashamed of it Do not let their inability to reciprocate Affect your capability to emote

I have yet to acquire the love That is spoken of fondly in faint whispers By naive, young girls The all consuming Saucer eyed Butterflies-in-your-stomach love The love that makes one sick With anxiousness And giddy With excitement And while I wish I had felt it with you It seems like a terribly hopeless thing to be in

Ingenuous
I wonder if it will be like last time I left someone condignly, however harsh If months will pass and we still do not acknowledge one another As if there is some unspoken agreement of refusal to do such a thing If suddenly I will open my mouth, carelessly If some innately clueless thing will tumble out And you If you will reply with some balmy, thoughtless remark If the inauspiciousness would rain down on us, and settle there

Daydreams
Our goodbye was simple The exchanges ceased And you stopped glancing my way It was over so quickly It felt almost instantaneously All the trust and kinship That we had managed to find for one another Dissipated so easily I suppose we are meant to believe that camaraderie is overrated

Adieu
As humans we are archetypes for imperfection Marvelous and macabre creatures Paradoxical mosaics

Masterpiece
You turned away with steely eyes, a man once soft now cold as ice I begged you to stay, yet you refused to think twice Merely another moral vice And it makes me ponder, do you ever even halt to wonder? About who I am or who I will be? Perhaps a century passed with persistent pleas for you, from me All the while you may be found perched upon a stool, cackling like some unconcerned fool Not stopping to wonder who I will be Was I a disastrous debacle, a thing full of promise shot down with a bang? Or excessively erratic, a real toll on your brain? Aid me in answering a few inquisitions, for placid pensiveness pushes me senseless A cryptic enigma I'm trying to solve, however I've all but lost my resolve Won't you answer my inquiries? Aren't you ready to love? Millennia drip by like liquid, decaying I remain inanimate, restless, and waiting Trying to convey the multitude of things you’re not saying Daring to hope that you’re off on your own, curiously thinking About who I will be With a pliant personality, I wear my heart on my sleeve With stubborn egocentricity, you wear yours in no place that can be seen Might this be the reason for our poignant play of events? No matter the reason, the past has been tinted Battered and dented, a life with no sense left
