Why be loud
When you can sit silent
Why go out
When you can stay hidden
Why be awake
When you can dream.

The swan perched its calm head
Above the dewy pond
To show it was there

The other swan fluttered
It’s wings wider
And the sun gazed on her

The perching swan sighed

The other swan sung
It’s enticing song

And the perched swan
Swam away with the widest of wings
The most beautiful voice

But

No one saw her until the other swan
Went away

And the dewy pond cleared up

i wanted to thank you
for these good times
sharing drugs and
sleeping next to each other
after half a night of
*** and ****

but truth is
i feel like changing
yet another time

not because i'm bored or anything
it's just that
i can't fall to need someone again

i wanted to love
and be loved by someone
for as long as i can remember

you are here
exactly when i can't commit
i can only exist by your side
even though i like to
play with your hair
while you sleep

i can't tell you the whole truth
i can't say that i will always
fall in love
that this is just the way i am
but it doesn't mean it'll last
it just means that
for a little while
you were all i thought about

this is yet another reason for us
to no longer exist together

we belong apart
our bodies belong apart
our thoughts belong apart
until we can do something about it

i feel like we are a train crash
that if had happened
in a different context
would've put us on the tracks
