White
House gates
though strong cannot
hold back three million
people.

"you are
so beautiful,"
I said, and then wept when
the uncertainty flickered in
her eyes

What if you wake up one day
And realize that I’m not the one for you anymore?
That there’s someone out there,
That will love you more than I can.

What if you decide
That I’m just too much?
That I’m a burden that’s holding you back
From your full potential.

What if my smile
Doesn’t make your day the way it used to?
Because there’s someone else
Who makes your heart melt.

What if you don’t need me
Like you used to?
But it doesn’t matter
That I still need you.

What if I’m just not enough
For you anymore?
But you don’t know how to tell me
That it’s over.

What if you have these same thoughts?
And you’re just as scared of losing me
As I am of losing you.
But what if you’re not?

It’s 2:47 AM and you’re all I can think about

How fun it would be
To fall down a hole into a far away place,
Full of creatures unknown,
Stories untold,
A universe away from the human race.

How fun it would be
To be able to think all day.
Mad as a hatter,
Crooked as a caterpillar,
With no one to feed your head except
The whispering winds around you.

Oh Alice, dear Alice,
How I do envy you.
Up here, surrounded by malice
Violence, and ever-vacuous people.

Every day we feed our heads with
The words of crooked politicians
And mindless, uncivil movements.

Oh Alice, dear Alice,
This world's time is ticking closer
To the end.
