Everyone
is afraid to fall in love,
because when you fall,
and the other just watches,
every feeling feels shattered,
  every dust of your world
   collapses at your feet,
    you swear you’re
rotting
decomposing
dying

Until  someone
reminds you, if
they ever do,
you’re alive.
Good luck

What good
is a professional
shitstarter,
if nobody is there
to continue the riot
once it has begun?
Someone tell me

your lip tasted
Different.

...you weren’t mine
anymore; even the
cherry lip balm
couldn’t hide that.

you looked at me
and cried.
Everyone wants a love poem,
but even those end.

it never occurred to me exactly how jealous i can be,
not even of people that i know,
but of concepts:
being confident when i get up to speak,
knowing where to sit,
being able to write the right thing.

but now i know that jealousy is what helps me succeed
even when i can't
hello world it has been years and i would like to say that i still have no clue what i'm doing
