mary jane has taken you away from me
you're so obsessed with the sensation
of breathing her in
it seems you have forgotten the feeling
of my lips, my hair, my embrace
in place of what you perceive as a better
lover.

mary jane has taken you away from me.
the people who love could never
love as intensely as she
caresses your senses, changes the tense
in which you think
do you think about me at all anymore?
see if you will tell
that i haven't been doing well.
I wish I could love you
in that path
You are so kind and you
Make me laugh

I wish I could see you
In that shadow
You are so talented and you
Had me so

Torn.
Because I do love you
Just not in that way
I hate that I don’t
But love you, I won’t.
You would be so good for me

How lucky you are to be written about
shaped by someone else’s words
that you affected them so deeply
they had to write you out of their system.

you will never forget me,
i’m the one who’s name will stain your lips and
the memory of me is as
vivid as neon lights
my touch will give you goose bumps when i’m gone and
the sound of my voice will ring like bells everywhere you go.
you can’t forget me.
Say my name. Let it cut the air into diamonds.

Prayers are answered by the universe,
not through grand revelations,
but tiny little moments.
At least for me anyways.
She was to shy to say hi
but her eyes could speak poetry to me.
I put my heart in a jar and placed it
on the shelf above my bed,
saving it for the one who deserves it
She was like the moon,
      They wrote 'about' her not 'for' her.
