III Apr 2018
I never knew
I was drowning
Until I took a breath of you
And saw colors again
For the very first time.
III Apr 2018
I caught the scent
Of rot
On my breath today,

I think something deep
Inside me
Died recently

And is withering away.
III Mar 2018
Tonight,
All I wanted to do
Was to stand in the center
Of my old high school football field
Lingering loudly in the shadows
Beyond my home,

And stare at the sky,
And scream,
Just ******* scream,

Because I am drowning
In my memories
And the flood
Needs to go somewhere.
III Mar 2018
And a shard of me hopes
That all I see
When I'm dead and buried

Are the eyes of
Everyone I've ever loved
Echoing forever against the blackness.
III Mar 2018
Did you know
That the waves of the ocean
Crash over themselves
In a shivering rush to marvel
At the glassy globes
Encased on either side
Of the bridge of your nose?
III Feb 2018
I know I said
I swore I wouldn't do anything
For you today,
But I figure this isn't breaking
Any sort of promise
(Pinkie related or not),
So I hope it's fine
If I call you mine
And ask:
"Will you be my Valentine?"
III Jan 2018
I suppose these must be
     My heartfelt lyrics
Trying to dance to the tune
     Of your animal spirits,

Because I checked out
     Our astral chart
And it told me we were
     Idea for love.
based off the song "Animal Spirits" by Vulfpeck.
