The Juice

Let it flow
Let it go
The juices are running
It's now or never, I know

Obey as a dog
Copy as a cat
Hand licker
Copy paster
Please stop ******* from me

You misunderstand?
I repeat and repeat until
...
Silence
Please stop taking from me

Dilute
Pollute the good will
Respect that you did not build
Respect that you attempt to drain
Respect that you do not deserve

Blank Brain
VinceV Jan 8
A desire to write
An intention to create
But all that's there is the drive
And I'm left with nothing but a blank brain
                       Strained to produce something
                                                   Anything at all

Unoriginal
VinceV Jan 3
On a day long past
Your art moved me more than any other
But what I have found
Are the plagiarized works of your idols
Themes and ideas
Countless words and images and thoughts
All of them stolen
I say
As if we all don't steal

The One About You
VinceV Jan 2
The ground, covered in dirt and my hair
Soon it filled with my own salt, as I lie
Collapsed
Imploded
Mourning

I had promised to write about you
Something full of love and admiration
Something I can no longer write
I took just one breath
And now I can't remember what it was I wanted to write

I dreaded that this day would come
And now that it's here
I couldn't ask for anything more

A Page Long
VinceV Dec 2024
The story was one page long
They tell me "I read the first few words"
Falsely impassioned
As if they read any of it at all

The Trip
VinceV Dec 2024
Together
We drive there
Warm

There
Cold
There
Warm again
There
Cold again
There
Warm again

Together
We drive back
Cold, now and forever
Nothing more to be said.

Just had to make sure I wasn't only writing about love and heartbreak.
VinceV Dec 2024
I drift into consciousness one hour before noon
Worthless sack of ****
Scrolling for anything to make me happy
Nothing will today.

One hour later, I take a thirty minute shower
Pathetic and alone
I made coffee for after my shower so it wasn't too hot
There is that at least

I start thinking about you endlessly, longing for us again
What we could have been
And even after you came back to me with an ever beating heart
I still told you no.

It is now the afternoon, I am now getting my first cavity filled
They did not numb me
It was too small for that, I was told it was probably just genetic
There is that at least

I now wait for to go hang out with friends
Something needed now
Because as I wait, you infiltrate my mind, the regret of letting you go
I can't help but cry.

After hours upon hours of weeping, I arrive at my friend's house
Nothing too special
We just sit around and eat and goof around
There is that at least

And while I continue to be with friends
You infest my thoughts
Only instead of feeling loneliness and regret
I simply feel sad.

It may not be much
But it is better than before
So there is that at least

This Way & That!
VinceV Dec 2024
September
We fall in love
You're all I need.

Five months pass
We fall apart
What was it all for?

Just take me back
I keep on hearin' things
Your voice calls to me, asleep
Repeating your words
Or phrases of our own

I sleep
We go this way
I awake
We go that way
Sometimes I'm it
And other times not

If only it wasn't this way and that
When we were together
VinceV Dec 2024
We both told each other it was the end
It’s what both told ourselves
We were to part at this crossroads
Until you came back

But when you came back with open arms
And hope gleaming from your eyes
I stuck true to me
And told you I just saw you as a friend

So we moved on
And every day
My heart breaks more and more
And I wish I could take it all back

At least until tomorrow morning.

— The End —
