Attracted to the broken
Like myself
I yearn to be fixed
To make amends
To feel once again
To wake up to my favorite person at my side
It’s not in the cards for me
And it wasn’t for you
So broken
No matter the repairs
I’ll never feel like new
Find me in a thrift store
Along with the other gems
Marked down due to being used
AM Nov 2024
Our eyes, they meet,
Once or twice a day, discreet,
Holding a secret just for us to keep.
A fleeting clash where our shadows meet.

A smile exchanged,
Once or twice, the air unchained,
A storm beneath, a pull sustained,
A force unseen, a force unexplained.

How did your body know mine so well,
Before we touched, before we could tell?
How did it burn so fierce, so wild,
A fire unleashed, a fire reconciled?

Under the sheets, where secrets lie,
Your breath on my skin, a whispered sigh,
How did it feel so intense, so right,
As if we were born for this, for the rest of our lives?

How do we fit, like threads that entwine,
Unraveling logic, defying design?
Sweet, sweet obsession, pulling me through,
Your smell lingers on my skin, and I want more of you
AM May 2024
Nobody told me that being an adult would be so lonely
AM Aug 2023
They take up all of the air in the room
I cannot breathe.

GOP
Sell crack said the president
Fall though cracks residents
Money over morals the precedent
In slums slaves rent the residence
AM Feb 2022
It turns out you are exactly like my father.
I’m overwhelming , and you are overshadowed
Maybe I’m like my mother
