it’s just dark lights and bright eyes right it’s just loose dances and long glances right it’s just everything, everywhere, them it’s just all of you, every inch, whenever they can it’s just something you wanted, maybe you had it’s all you were, maybe, for awhile it’s never gonna be like it was though, is it it’s just never a good time right it’s just what it was, forever it’s just alright it’s probably fine

it was about fascination, of you of the world, and then telling you about it it was about sharing everything i see and being seen it was about coffee dates and stupid stories it was about laughing and crying and dreams it was about the stress, the serrated blade of longing the loneliness you suddenly made so much clearer when you vacated the space between me and myself it was well rounded it was full of fear for loss i was never scared of you i was never fearful of your scars, your fears i shared them! i saw! you didn’t want me too, which ****** you put thoughts in my head and words in my mouth, things i never said or thought you were so ready to be alone, untethered i’m sorry for loving it so much i guess i would fall right back into you if you let me because no, i do not withhold love, not from those who need it most. even if i am in some way bewitched to do so, because you intoxicate me in a way i have never been before, an air that i will spend the rest of my life trying to suffocate myself with. and now im not even sure what it was about

it was never about knowing
we were joined, drawn, by doom we cherish the acknowledgment of doom we live in spite of doom in reverence of with heedful eyes running from her flames her daunting, unyielding smother we LOVE it we cannot MOVE without it we wouldn't want to.

doom
Are blue and green and gray in light and are sweet. They recognize me occasionally, for awhile enchanted with boyish joy, they are fearful, they wish you wouldn't watch. They are in awe, full of Wonder. Discontent. Admiration. Death. Disbelief. Shame. objects of transparency through

his eyes
I bought a new dress and it makes me look like a lost sock it fits me well and makes me feel grown, the kind of beautiful you find in a fish with funky spots descriptively the lost sock has the kind of pattern to make you want to take markers and draw on the wall. the one you go crazy and see women inside of it gilman could get lost in my dress makes me want to hold a microphone and unplug it, so that i can let the voice in my head talk over the others.

mismatched socks
this is what you know, that all things die all things should cry at some point all things should know how to pick rocks up and throw them they should know follow the light that shines during the day, and look under logs to the things that don't. that all purpose cleaner couldn't be for your brain, that unfinished things chained to the ground will always be shadows up ahead. that once a strap on your bag breaks, a new strap will be required that you shouldn't pick wildflowers but sometimes you can't help it. that love shouldn't come easy but it shouldn't weigh. that when your eyes sunk into your head, it was time to fill yourself with air.

your cup is empty you pour people add some job a little money sprinkle little things to make it fizz too much fizz it overflows to many things added and it becomes a jungle the cup needs to be washed cleaned, sanitized, put in the cupboard for a little open the cupboard, remember that you can make drinks again cup care is the most important, because if dropped, filled too often it gets damaged, frail, old new cups are hard to come by new cups take time to make once yours is broken fill it, empty it, wash it, again empty for too long, you'll get thirsty and dehydrated. filled all of the time, you'll drown
