Do you write
pretty words
with a message
unchanged

Does intent
leave you vacant
the darkness
sustained

Do you ponder
and flirt
in a language
affair

Do you kiss
and then tell
without promise
or care

Do you vow
to do better
with love
on reprieve

Does your heart
leave you jilted
next breath
— to deceive

I cannot forget
While you deserve the whole world
I deserve the dirt
How can I apologize when you won't let me?
I think I'm passed forgiveness..
Passed redemption.
Just a life of damnation.
Thinking about you makes me sad
But I can't not think of you
I need a lobotomy
To end this agony

Even when shielded by the clouds,
Even on my darkest nights,
You shine.


Why give up when the moon is so beautiful?
From a painting of the moon half covered by clouds.

Even when you're out sight,
Even on my happy days,
You're bright.

There’s really nothing like
the passing of time.
Everything is gone.
There used to be a tree that a pitbull played around. Never giving up on getting her teeth on that tire.
