DAF Apr 2019

why are all my words gloomy?
aren’t there moments that are silver?
perhaps it is they pass too quick
mistaken just as grey

i could write a novel filled with thoughts of you

such a night owl that one

back and forth about the past

disappearing act

DAF Mar 2019

disappearing act

you had me at hello                                           didn’t get to say goodbye
                          the greatest magic trick I’ve ever seen
                    don’t wonder how but why

dead of night

DAF Mar 2019

dead of night

tell me anything

             just your voice could make me weak at knees

                               but you stay silent all along

late night snack

i should be sleeping by now
                         yet i'm thinking of you
                                       and what order to put these letters in
                as if maybe i could line them up just so

                   and you’d remember why you loved me

wheres the golden days they spoke about
seem like metallic lies
shiny by the looks of them
still cold to the touch

Felt Like

DAF Feb 2019

Felt Like

It felt like love
I'm almost certain that is was
Still there are those times where almost certain never was
Thinking close only counts with horseshoes and grenades
Guess I should've seen it coming when it blew up in my face

slip

DAF Feb 2019

slip

sometimes it takes a while to dive back in and swim
when every steps felt like a mile it easy to fall to shins and cringe
but past calendars do nothing save take attention off the walls
had to learn that life keeps running even when you fall

Waiting on Dopamine
Haven't heard from her in days
Last time we spoke her words to me
"I'm tired of your melancholy ways"

If I had one wish

I'd wish you'd never cross my mind again
Not your laughter, lies, or lips

I figure I'd finally feel fine again

Hearts Don't Break In Halves

DAF Oct 2018

Hearts Don't Break In Halves

love used to be
lovely and beautiful
now comes the nervousness
trouble for cuticles

broken frames
of pictures we'd take
hearts that break so ill sit here and shake
my head and say na not again
liquor in hand as i nod off to bed

it's times like those that i never feel lonely
til i wake up distressed with no one to console me
i swear that i'm solely devoted to fortys
where once was my heart theres a hole in my chest
my love used to be whole and now its a fifth

Hoping

DAF Jul 2018

Hoping

I loved you
I say this despite all your lies
Now I write this not for likes
But
     For
          Lives
Who feel dead inside
Terrified no longer
Those who wish to stop giving
A ****
     Up
          Their breath
To people content with living underwater
Living less then they were meant for
Living under harsh conditions
Screaming
     In
          Their loves ear
Hoping that their heart would listen.

Rhetorical Questions

DAF Jun 2018

Rhetorical Questions

I sleep a lot
I'm always tired, however never of you

I know distance makes the heart grow fonder

But sometimes space can cause the mind to wander

Well don't you love me anymore?
