Frivol and waste subside the pace
A layer between your state of grace
And ego-ranting lips
The legend we'll choose for lack of clues
The truth is sailing ships
One struggles one wonders
One longs to be our
There's an undertaker's minutes
With my days to devour
You should have let me stalk you in your sleep
Awoke if it was me and let me keep
A bit of soul for my system of belief
Instead of proving worthy as a thief

And on that same day in the church's trash
Found so much wine we did not trade for cash
A drunken night to gaze upon your back
Did we make love or one of us attack

Would that were a night we slept
A promise somewhere wasn't kept
Footprints gesture to the roof
With each direction lending proof
That you can really hang around
Me? Mine barely make a sound
The trick is finding your good name
Inside a pool of doubt and blame
Brought from a notebook pile with free writing exercises that go back around five years full of drafts, fragments, lines I liked and dice scores.
You are reading this
Because you are programmed to
Turn your brain on now
if roots can wait,
beneath the earth,
for a rain they cannot live without.

and if the stars wait,
lingering in dusk,
just to see the moon once more.

then i,
full of burning ache,
can wait too.

I will wait for you.
I'd wait for him in every lifetime
i think about you all the time
you always manage to cross my mind
in the dark
at school
with my mom
with bee
i see you everywhere
i am always reminded
you did not love me
you didnt really get to know me
and i know you will never see this
i know you wouldnt care
you thinking of me every now and then
is not reward
but entirely painful.
about multiple people
I say I’m fine,
It’s just easier that way,
No questions asked,
No truth to betray.

I smile and nod,
While I’m breaking inside,
Too scared to speak,
So I run and hide.

I’m tired of lying,
Tired of pain,
Wishing this silence
Would wash away like rain.
I can’t keep it in anymore and I know it. But I just can’t speak out the words.
