i'd advise you;
not to fall
unless you are able
to pick yourself up.
to not fall in love
unless you are able
to love yourself.
to not write poetry
unless you are able
write without a story.
to not tell others advice
unless you are able
to follow your own.

i cannot advise you.

Be the love you want to receive:

"Do unto others
as you would do unto yourself."

Imagine if it was

"Love yourself
as you would love others."

oh how lovely
love would be
to finally gain some affection
(even if it was from me.)

without blame

you can cast shadows
on bedroom walls
it's all You know.
i know.

it doesn't excuse
my chasing
as you are all i know.
**You know.

Infatuate

these eyes
were not made to wander.
i cannot tell you
if this is a bad thing.

to remove your hands.

architect

sitting on the roof tiles
stretching out tonight
i see our city blind itself in moonlight
i hear its call for someone to love it
like a newborn.
we should break its heart again.
it builds character
it should learn to mourn.

Crushing

i broke the bed
that wasn't made
for me
and you tell me how funny
a story it will be
for others to laugh at
to laugh at the loving me.
