I hate you.

I hate you for what you did to me.

I hate you for making me write about you.

I hate you for making me love you

I love you

I love you for caring about me

I love you for filling my thoughts

I hate you for loving me

Waves

The waves of the ocean
go back and forth,

and I can't help but to think
that that will one day be us,

Going back and forth,
crashing into one another,

until one day the ripples disappear
and get smaller and smaller

and eventually become flat like our friendship

Eyes, Like Death

Eyes, Like Death

Once, a stranger said-
"You have the most beautiful eyes"-
I said "thank you", but did not compliment back.

She said-
"They remind me of the ocean"-
I said again, "thank you"-

She said-
"I cant swim, so your eyes remind me of death"-
I said again, "thank you"

Still unsure-
Why my eyes reminded her of the sea.
My eyes aren't blue.
My eyes are green.

The Vinely Family

He slid his picture next to hers.
To dust the spaces beneath it.
Let the corners of the frames touch.
Left them together, to see if she would smile.

Pointless spring cleaning.
Her picture was collecting dust.
He held her name so tight behind his teeth-
He forgot he needed to breathe.
