I just write. Excuse my grammar, style, etc. I just do it for fun.
You brought it up jokingly, thought it wouldn’t hurt It was just an aside, nothing big I guess you don’t know why and what it meant It’s just a hole you’ll continue to dig I laughed it off cause that’s what I do I could tell that you were relieved I sat there, mind buzzing, going insane You were fine because you were freed Free to flirt and not feel pain Free to act stupid and not seem insane Free to not ruin your so-called plans Free to make a 3rd of a crush your man Of course there’s jealousy, I found him first Obviously we didn’t get involved I still wonder about that moment and shame It’s called respect until his problems are solved They say. . . Lets set her up, lets play a game Were getting our fix Everything’s the same Oh she’ll be fine It’s nothing new We’ll take them all And leave her a few It’s not a game anymore; I’m starting to want Why is that so hard to conceive? It’s not so much of an aside my friend, it’s now becoming a need.

Aside
Love: to be said but unspoken A deep guttural influence over your mind’s endless power A gift to be hermetically sealed, yet leaking lust whenever possible A moment where fusion of energy is felt in broad daylight with no scientific explanation A muddy sense of belonging and purpose that undulates entirely Go on, give in. It’s the call to the question that is answered with “this is why you’re made” Your smile creates a double with lips and lids, light and laughter Can I ask you how this encompasses atheism? You’re gorgeous and talented and our opposite beings just want the one thing that’s unexplainable . . . Once again, how doest that coincide with atheism? Question that. But really, I can feel your truth and complete love I just worry because you need to love yourself and believe You can’t give it all to me.

Unspoken
I miss you. The one you’re hiding, The one you’re afraid of Because of your: Power Beauty Strength Knowing and Loving It’s like if you have it all You can’t show it all You can’t flaunt it . . . Remember that Remember that Summer, “ Oh it’s so hard to be pretty!” That’s so subjective anyway And yet again it shouldn’t matter but . . . If you are capsizing naturally and lowering yourself to become decent, You still have to prove you’re capable Which I did But then there are the looks Like “Who does she think she is” “She’s wrong” “Really? What a fake.” Leave me alone . . . please . . . Just let me be. Accept it.

Hiding
Remember that time of the angry anxious skittles. They were scattered across the white playing field of keys; with all those ******* letters that could spell anything they wanted. Kind of like my mind. What was yours spelling? Lets get food. Real food. Mine was more along the lines of kiss me please, or did that already happen. Those ******* skittles, which I hate the word, embodied our beings. The green jealousy of what those letters could spell. The angry red of which I wanted to do and be. The ******* orange, my fiery passion to jump and collide and the keys to spell NOW and LUST. The stupid yellow that would spell LOVE because that’s what it was. It just wasn’t bright enough against that ******* computer to stand out; to scream, “TAKE ME NOW or else you’ll be living your life waiting.”
