So numb all I could sense were the flaws in my selfie / / hope they like it / because that's all they care about
They say Their morning glories have bloomed With the rise of the sun The look of a flower that will stay blossomed The fullness of the flower Looks to never Lose that form A continuation of sweet flavors and validation Now asleep Only asleep With the rest of the town Now With the moon lit Mine must have Fallen back asleep But now there is nothing No blooming No whispers of kind comments nor ear for reciprocation The space now looking an awful lot Like when the morning glory was just planted Like the morning glory was never planted Was there even a flower to begin with? I simply don't believe so. I'd promise to not anticipate it's bloom tomorrow But I cannot make that promise

Has it even bloomed?
with every hour I do not see your name appear on my phone the red light that reads "Exit" grows brighter and brighter you will see someday that you were wrong about who you though I was you'll wish you would've gave me a chance ;

Because you ****
The music filled my silver SUV It matched the sky, my car that is. My mood. The music. Grey, with a twinkle. Looking back now I can feel the velocity of the car pulling at my body Around the gradual turn, the road is wet from the snow melting. Next to the deep grey asphalt that screamed for summer, There are sad looking piles of it that glimmered with soot. It was one of those weird days one the cusp of spring where it was like 40 degrees. I was on my way to the tall boy's house the one who tears at my heart today. What I would give to feel that moment at its fullest again. The vibrations of the song I fell in love with, filling the vehicle. The chill of the seat, The heat on full blast and leaving it there when I became plenty warm. I had my driver window open an inch to snag a whiff of the clean still crisp winter air. I want to be where I was, comfortable; in my warm car singing harmonies to that one Lumineers CD

His kiss didn't taste like candy or blooming flowers on some "crisp spring morning" He tasted like human a good hygienic human earthy almost like a kiss on the neck it lingers through my senses I am addicted to his all of those hims there seems to be new hims every month a new mouth but his tasted the best by far

His
I forgot I have forgotten who I was and why I came up onto this roof why I do this so often I come up here to simplify In my house, there is internet and music and my computer, TV, nick nacks, memories, the past, the future the now it is all down there Up here... up here there are clouds sometimes stars trees, grass, a shed, two sheds, a road that no one travels on occasionally music in the distance from a house near the lake the one that parties too much full of the nows but here birds, crickets, cicadas, bats the earth moves around me Up here I have what I always will have even if I lose everything I will have this simple beauty and they will keep believing that as long as people come to their party they have it all

The Critical Juncture
I have never seen such a blue sky on the rooftop after a long shower outside Drinking hot chamomile tea I am happy In a new top the color of the trees that surround the cottage I pity any being who isn't me at this very moment Though hold on... My chamomile tea has been polluted with vinegar I try to accept the new taste find pleasure in it but the vinegar comes back to snap the back of my tongue This moment has been altered and the neighbors don't know how to use their quiet voices my phone is dying and I spent the majority of my time up here trying to get the perfect picture for Instagram

Undiscerning
Sick of the metaphors Tell me the truth Here I will go first: There was a boy who I thought would change because I was different But I am not and he is still using me to get what he wants and I will continue to let him because I need to be in his life whether it was this or that and life will continue and, eventually, without him;

For Him
They don't say what they feel they wear the same shirt for the same people because they know they'll like it over and over and over again They will tell the same joke because she knows they will laugh and no one will realize
