I'm not a poet
I'm just emotional
twenty-something emotions
those hit hard

I'm not a poet
only a sleepwalker,
my fingers burning to type
my laptop keyboard so well-lit
so I fall into the desire

I'm not a poet
I just whisper to a quiet altar called Hello Poetry
a fatal attraction
so I type
welcome to the cult

Where's my keyboard, I can't sleep

...

shut your MOUTH
and let me speak
because when you SPEAK
I can't think
When you THINK
you don't filter
and when you don't FILTER
your words hurt
and when you HURT
you don't care
when you don't CARE
I want to die.

Absolute

I know
that you are
the absolute and
total
better part of
me
someone I could only
ever ever
aspire to be
let’s leave it there
where I started
you are the absolute
absolute absolute absolute
and total
better part of me.

Will we?

Will we?

You like me
But do i like you?

Your nice to me
Am i nice to you?

You always talk to me
Do i do the same for you?

You make my face go on fire,
But is it from you
Or the attention?

You say we’re perfect.
But do i think the same for you?

No.
I dont know.

i'm sorry

Charly

i'm sorry

Hold me close to your chest,
and slit my throat

With my final gasp of air,
i'd say "i'm sorry for staining your shirt"
