your name is
forbidden in
my mouth
or in my heart
because when
i think about
you;

i'll cry a little more,
hurt a little stronger
love a little softer
because you no longer
make me feel sober

i'm drunk on the
memory of you

.......but he was colorblind."

The stars
are just
night time
riptides.

They pull you deeper
and deeper
into the night sky,
until
you're 30 miles in,
and not looking for home.

I left with the intent
of seeing you again.

I wish I would have known
otherwise.

Her smile sits
on the curb of a road
between Summer
and Fall.

Hey, you.
Let her know.
This love is reserved for her.

Hey, you.
Let her know.
This man in love with her.

She seems to think I'm playing games.
As if she just someone I don't love.
But my friends can show her I am for real.

So, hey you.
Please, let her know.
This love of mine is reserved for her.

By now she has seen me everywhere.
She can call me her shadow.

If I didn't care?
I wouldn't chase.
Except, she strictly is my kind.
A strong woman in spirit and mind.

i need a hug,

a long one that i can settle into.

a kiss on the top of my head,

a simple gesture really.

to let me know,

i’m loved and that you care.

an act of love and kindness,

when nerves are strained and bare.

and my heart aches,

in its loneliness.

i fall for people too easy
i get too attached too soon
i get too involved too quickly
too early too soon too fast

so many things i want to say
but it’s just too early
