when a bruised
moon

turns to luminescent
liquid

then vapor
or spray

you drive me mad

your essence
ingested

and now you
an image
a mood

live freely
in my head

My love life
is wrecked.
because of you
I refuse to be the moon.
I will not merely reflect the light of another.
Standing in the shadows.
I was born to shine and spread my own light.
I will light up your sky.
And you will feel my heat.
I am loved
So are you
Happy Valentine's Day to you too

i.
How her wavy hair caressed her
Flushed cheeks, the sound her beige boots made
On the floor as she ran into class right before the bell,
Her leather backpack slapping against her back.

ii.
Her flower skirt, black background
Against orange and yellow blossoms,
Blooming just as loud as the
Gorgeous smile on her face.

iii.
The way she bobbed along to the music
Flowing through her earbuds, and her voice,
Oh! The most breathtaking notes he’s ever heard;
Five Seconds of Summer performed from angel lips.

iv.
That he was utterly and irrevocably in love with
Her.

A little work
will make a difference.
Don't hesitate to
make a change.
When looking for a new doctor
For me the best of all
Is one that's overweight and a smoker
And reeks of alcohol
