You know something has changed
when you can no longer
write poetry about them.

i am the worlds worst guest.
i will help you cook a meal
set the table
help place the plates
will eat everything in front of me
wash up and dry alongside you
even if you tell me not too
i am the worlds worst guest.

i will stay in your room
help clean the clutter
make it neat and tidy
as long as you are beside me
i can sit on the bed chair or floor
and i will never tire or bore
i am the worlds worst guest.

i have no sense of time
i can stay hours or days
until you've had enough
there's always another time
there's always other stuff
i need to be told to go
otherwise i will never know

That i am the worlds worst guest.

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.

"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.)

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.

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