“i love you”
those words

                                      from his lips
i believed his deceitful manner
his charisma, it was alluring

i’m afraid
you’ll find me
crazy
for loving you
too hard
too fast
too much
i want you
to know
all my thoughts
but i’m scared
you’ll run

A time ago,
I was abandoned
Left for dead
and disregarded

I clung to that which seemed so pure
I clung to that which helped me heal
But it never matched
What I gained from you

For a time, it will hurt
For a time, I will burn
But I know one day,
I'll be with you,
so here I wait,
here I stay
I know that Patience is a Virtue.

it's a late night drive
down a foggy street,
completely empty and
illuminated by the
soft glowing sign of an
underhead street light.  

neon juice
flows through your veins.  
the world
forgets how to spin.  
the trees
are still and
the engine roars.  

somewhere,
everything falls into place for someone.

I wish I had never fallen for you
because eventually
I landed.
