I was born with a brain that takes hurtful words to heart which turned my world into a disordered mess
I cannot dig my way out of this chaos
I am trapped in my own skin

If you really like music,
                  there is a tambourine in my chest
and I am almost always shaking. Let's hang out
                  and study each other's octaves while the sound-waves
travel in and out

she smells of alcohol
and cheap perfume.
the flowers you bought her
are wilting in a dumpster.
tonight she boards her shuttle
for another trip to a far away land.
somewhere distant
you and I can only imagine.
but the air outside is cold
as you're pounding on her door.
too far gone she is,
to hear your muffled yelling
and she doesn't love you.
I do.

I was
so happy
I felt
brighter
than the sun
but you
couldn't bare
so you put
sunglasses on
I don't even know how I come up with these
Brick by brick. I have built a wall around you.
Alas comes he, demolishing what I've constructed.
Little does he know, I erected not one but a few.
Some walls, I doubt, even you knew existed.

Just like the rest he'll tear them down with kindness.
Cause, oh tender love, all you seek is some attention.
Estranged, these men truly think I have left you loveless.
Selfish me, only with me shall you embrace affection.

They pursue with presumption that they came to save you,
They pursue with presumption that they came to love you.
The robust walls they've destroyed imprudently to seize you.
Unknowing my intention was to protect them from yours truly,               **You
Is that what I think it is?
It is!
Have you reciprocated?
You have!
Will I overthink this situation?
I won't!
But have I fallen unintentionally?
I have!
And I don't even know your name.
I sleep closer
to the edge of the bed
so I don't see the space
you've left behind

I dive deeper
in my fantasy
to push you further
into the back of my mind.

I watch the waves
rollover each other
and try not to envision
our own destructive habit.

I fight these memories
in my head
bottle-bottoms harness strength
for me to brave it.

In time I'll walk
back on dry land
and a path of my own
I'll try to find.

If only I can wipe you off,
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.
Like the beauties that my eyes
adore on Turner Classics.

Your picturesque demeanor yanks on my
heartstrings every chance I face you.

By poise, by grace,
by articulation and physiques.

I shan't deny existence of such splendor
in others but definitely one too few.
A day will come
When you will learn

That nothing matters
And all things burn

Will you invigorate
The world with good

Or prevail with malevolence
Because you know you could
