I tend to forget your face
I tend to forget the sound of your voice
I tend to get drunk
just to find myself twitching
to your tender touch

I tend to forget your hair
I tend to regret the end
the sound of thousands of hummingbirds
looking for a place to begin

I'm overly emotional
I'm overly apathetic
I'm overly over you
I'm a mess.

I know beautiful words in my brain but I don't know how to say them.
I dream of changing the world with my actions but I don't know how to do them.
I desire an immaculate form of love but I don't know how to find it.
I wish to make art for a living but I don't know how to support myself.
I want to change someone's life but I don't know how to influence people.

It's okay I will continue to sit here and be a useless student.

A student who wishes to learn how to make the world love me.

I don't want to leave
"We are closing in fifteen!"
It's cold as **** out
And my car is gonna be freezing. A coffin of cold steel for a lonely heart.

A selection box to outfox all selection boxes
this is what was given to us
by nature ,

not painted on
and for real
untouched
untainted
and we made of it
in the greater part
a **** heap,

the countryside,
a place to keep
our waste
nuclear and otherwise

this is the true size of it
the whole nine yards of it
the truth and the lie of it is,
It was never ours
trees
flowers
were loaned
were on account

we reap as we sow
and
now we owe
a huge debt

yet nature is forgiving
Live
and let the living
live
it gives me hope
It gives me indigestion
but the question is
what does it give to you?
