Hello there Do you think you could bear To sit with me awhile? Maybe smile And pretend you don't feel uncomfortable while I try to hold your hand? I'm sorry I just can't stand To be without human contact Because I might be going blind But mind You it's not a physical blindness But more an internal sightless-ness I can still see your face But I can't see your heart race At an ever quickening pace As I tell you how lonely I am You want to leave But I can't tell when to leave Well enough alone And you're checking your phone But I don't get the hint You lent Me you ear for a second or so And I claimed it for a year I'm sorry But I'm in the dark And could you please mark This as the day I lost The last Of my sanity? I just try so hard to be dainty And that's not me Never will Because I have much too big a build And I guess that's ok But I'm not sure And I'm sorry I know you don't care And I probably scare You but you seemed so kind I thought you might not mind Talking to me

Sit with me
It's laundry day I say To myself As I put on My ***** jeans And kinda clean Top Mop up The mess Of yesterday And move forward Toward today A metaphor for Every relationship Past and present Pleasant But not fulfilling Not my first choice Not even second Or seventh But was available Because I can't get My first choice So I take the love I think I can get And deal with the regret Of not striving For my own happiness Instead I live hapless Unlucky in life Unlucky in love

Laundry Day
You look so sad To me Why can't you see I want to grasp your hand And band together Against the rest Of the world And whirl around The whorls of the tree of life Where strife is a myth And sickness a joke Where you don't choke On the struggles of Your past Just move past them And then you breath The air of free men But then and only then Will you feel the emptiness Of a life all figured out no doubt no dreary dreams Of everything coming together No hope or plans Or need to make plans Next time you want it all To stop Remember When life stops You do too

You look so sad
I want to touch you All of you From the bend in your toes To the crook in your nose I crave the feeling of your not-quite-straight teeth the underneath of your chin Where your stubble begins Your usually chapped lips Pressed upon mine The feeling of the bumps of your spine Would probably give me chills And thrills To feel your fingers through my hair I can't bare To think of you away from me Don't you see? We're meant to be. we fit perfectly together And I'm sure we can weather Any storm I was born and bound To love you The hounds of Hell Are ******* my heels This feels like damnation Not salvation Being in love is not beautiful Having shared love is I'm in the business Of having the first But not the latter This ladder that I climb Is falling apart And I'm falling down Falling Into the ground So for awhile I'll Be bitter But one day I'll be better
