Not

Not
Plucking the sun from the sky
Is not a sunset

Pulling a leaf from a tree
Is not autumn

Pushing me off a cliff
Doesn't mean I'm falling for you

And kissing me
Doesn't mean I love you
You can't force it

Tea
You told me I wasn't you cup of tea
So I tried adding some sugar and cream
But by the time I was to your liking

I had gotten cold
Sorry

You held the paper
between you lips
and inhaled

I've never
Been so jealous
Of a cigarette
It should have been me

I can’t write


I haven’t written a good poem in ages.
Throw away phone pages, end of messages.
Nothing important to say, but I’m still speaking.
Body is full of words, now all with lame meaning.


Speaking truth, but no longer believing.
Wish I could write the things I am dreaming,
But all that inspiration is lost,
To being bored of forget-me-nots,
That I just do not remember.
My heart feels like December rain.
I want the summer to come back again.


She is gone, the one named love.
Given away like all the drugs.
Now all I have is one big heart.
I am desperate to give it away…but I can’t.

One and two,
Sure, it felt true

Three and four,
The heart can restore

Five and six
Scars start to itch

Seven and eight
Pain is tied with fate

Nine...
Please don't make me count to ten

will
liquid gold splashes down
bitter drink made warm and sweet
wakes me up smiling

You know?

You know I heard a bird today,
Told me what you had to say.
You know I heard some awful things about myself,
Things I didn’t even know until now.
You know I heard they came from you,
Someone I called friend til now.
You know I should have been angry when I heard the words you released to the world,
But instead I’m just sad and confused.
You know it broke my heart a little,
To hear the things you said.
You know I think I’ll lay down for a little,
So I can try to ignore this all instead.
