Kafka Joint
I met my match,
It was ok to touch,
It was excitedly not boring.

Slightly Lovely
The pain isn’t poetic,
Which is why,
All my poetry
Has turned into sad statements
Instead of swirling art

Dust

Everything turns to dust -
even you,
even me,
even the bond that binds us now.

I've had many waking dreams
and a few waking nightmares,
but I don't remember most of them now.
They were lost while I was sleeping,
just like us.

Whether I lost you in my dreams
or in my nightmares,
I lost you
all the same.

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
if only i could chase you with pizza but shots don't work like that

Walls

Lily Barrett
I’ve been told I have walls,
That aren’t too easy to break,
They’ve been up for so long,
That my smile is entirely fake.
They’re made of unshed tears and a broken soul,
Of emotions that have taken their costly toll.
Tear them down if you feel you must,
But it takes too much to gain my trust
Strip me down to every pebble and stone,
Shatter me like a mirror and break me to the bone,
But don’t you see you’ve already lost,
For even my walls have a cost.

blue eyes
green eyes
blue-green orbs
in the early morning light.
and a smile so small
i could easily dismiss it
if it didn’t curl my toes in the best way.
both peer into my soul and i stare back
caught.
captured.
enamored.
i feel your fingers in my hair
and i can feel myself doing the same.
our legs tangle in a
comfortable mess
and we sink into
the warmth
of each other.

ME
Not aggressive unless provoked
(I am always provoked)

Loves to be loved
(always getting fake love)

Easily hurt but takes
long time to recover
(and I am still recovering...)

Actions speak louder than words,
You wonder why I'm speechless.
