1. The drug addict screaming on the metro.
2. The little girl throwing a tantrum inside of a Starbucks.
3. My manager, who was definitely way too passive
aggressive when I called in sick.
4. The fancy business man who held the door open for me,
who I’m definitely getting married to next week.
5. That one lady walking her dog who continued walking
when I went to go pet it instead of stopping.
6. Michael.
7. My teacher from fourth grade who yelled at me for wearing
my sunglasses indoors.
8. The guy who’s heart I’m about to break.
9. The girl who I’m starting to fall in love with.
10. Whoever the **** else falls in between the two of them.

when you need him
he will be there for you
in spirit and in your heart
for a father’s love could never fade
no matter how long he’s been gone
and in moments when you’ve forgotten
what it feels like to have him near
he will remind you in ways
unimaginable
in the little things like flowers and birds
the clouds or the rain
and you will know
your father’s love will forever remain
untouched and by your side
tell him you love him
even if you think no one’s listening
he will tell you he loves you more
through the wind in the trees
listen closely for it
and he will listen closely for you
forever and always

i watched as your mother
screamed at you for
being unable to choose between
berries or sweets
berated you for your pickiness
and demanded your love
after giving you a treat
you never asked for
i hope young girl
you grow up to be
as indecisive as me
because who says you can’t have both?
who says it’s anyone else’s decision
but yours?
besides
who compares chocolate to vanilla
anyways

we had our love for 12 hours and nobody knew
it was the way we just were, you and i
you sang to me your favourite lullaby
and i swear i hadn’t slept that good in years
years that i spent without you, surely
and you knew this as you held my hair in your hands
we had our love for 12 hours and you knew **** well
i loved you so, darling
for years but it felt like a lifetime of loving
and i would wear your sweater around the house
bigger the better because you knew how i loved to feel small
and in your arms i did
we had our love for 12 hours but it was enough
to let you know i was no longer wanted by you
only infatuated by the idea of us
spending our summer days together
like we previously did
dreaming about the house we’d buy
with the wrap around porch
along the shore of somewhere that wasn’t here
as long as it was anywhere
but here
we had our love for 12 hours and nobody knew
that the love i had for you in those 12 hours
was more than the love i had had for you
in the years we’ve spent together
under the covers with heavy breath
and delicate fingers
tracing along all the parts of my body
that you had come to learn so well
like second nature it was when we were reunited
after all that time
it was like your body had not forgotten mine
when our 12 hours were over
and for the first time since that wretched day in january
when i ripped your heart out
you got to rip mine
except this time
it happened over and over and over again
as i thought about our last moments together
and about our last and final kiss goodbye
it was as if i knew deep down in my heart
i would never get another one
it has been 12 hours since i last loved you
and i have finally decided that from now on
you are out of my life forever
but those 12 hours
those 12 hours will always be ours
and i have no shame in rejoicing in them.

Solitude is the only place
I find solace;
Perhaps it is the harshness
Of my world
That has driven me to it.
Some may say I’ve lived
A lonely life;
But my wild nights are
Are on a small hiatus
For now.
It is my statico tunes and
Tangerine dreams that
Sing me to sleep at night;
Weirdly enough,
They are all I need.

i dreamt of you and i last night
in a time that hasn’t come quite yet
in the warmth and bright of June’s light
creating memories we could never forget
dont you wanna be my baby
don’t you wanna swim in the blonde of the summer
ice cool and your eyes blue, stunning
like a perfect visit to the rainy days, ******
carry me painlessly to the docks
and you’d ask me to strum my guitar a lot
the songs i’d use to put you to sleep
on the nights that we’d pray that we wouldn’t get caught
but it was summer anyway
the birds chirping took our breaths away
your curves so neat under the moon
my skin glistening like bubbles to champagne
the colour red contrasting to the season
you whispered always looks the best on you darling
tanned deep like all the girls you’ve ever loved
and drinking cold coffee, eyes sparkling
one day by the rivers edge, i know
those words will roll off your tongue
bring on our golden days ahead
alive, in love, and young

a shot in the dark
a moment of weakness and
a bad hangover

She’s got something special,
Those words would ring,
In the back of my mind,
What a change she’ll bring.
To this world so miserable,
She’ll persevere.
With her drive and passion,
She lacks any fear.
Although this girl confused,
She smiles and nods.
Happy with her thoughts,
But she finds it kind of odd.
Something special, you say?
Are you talking about me?
In my heart, I know
My future bigger than the sea
It’s not a talent,
Nor a gift, or chance
It’s my thoughts gave me,
The idea to dance.
To leap about
This world so broken,
Only new eyes could bring,
A new world, awoken.

We can argue day and night
Over the colour you claim to know so well
And you look so silly over the phone with me
Trying to defend your case
The truth is
No matter a deep chestnut
Or a strawberry blonde
It will always be my favourite colour

Did you know every love song reminds me of you now?
Every time I look out to the water,
I see you staring back in the reflection,
With that smile I can’t believe is for me.
I feel your hands around my waist,
Like that first night over and over again.
And in my head it’s so unreal,
For you to have chosen me,
Over all the other girls who swoon for you.
I like you more than you like me,
But that’s to be expected with a heart like mine.
“Please be careful,” I whispered to myself
As I stared at your golden face,
Illuminated by the sun setting over the train tracks,
“I won’t be able to let this one go.”
Don’t lie to me my love,
Don’t tell me what I want to hear.
I want you for you and all your honesty ,
No matter how sweet or brutal,
And I promise I’ll be the same.
Please, don't lie to me.
Please, let this be real.
