It's new to me
To have found a 'you'
A mystery unsolved
Got an empty clue

Lead one,
The string of love from you to me
Lead two,
The ink of joy you've etched through me

Bewildered by the case
Lone made by this guy
Why I haven't known
I still don't know why.
He's missing though. LOL

It was a warm sunny day
but gone were the lights you've shone me before nine

That warmth that once enveloped me
had turned to chilly winter sighs

I thought we were okay
but I know baby, I won't lie

We would've been so sunny
if only I hadn't left you behind.
I'm sorry. I left.

I'm sending you polaroids
so that you'll know me
though time may
age like me

I'm singing you ballads
so that you'll never
forget my single
unending melody

I'm writing you poems
so that you'll always
remember that
love-filled dandy page

I'm blowing you sweet whispers
that your heart swallowed and caged.
Sending love.

I sing him
all my songs,
with love and harmony

But never did
he sung
a love song
just for me.
One-sided love is the pest.

Today I'll stop
I'll stop because
I know where this is going

I'll stop because
I know we're far from moving

And lastly
I'll stop because
I know
we're close to ending.
Baby, we're out of gas.

I am not a simple sentence.
I am not detailed and defined.
I am words you thought you knew
But mean the otherwise
I am poetry, I am prose
I am words shuffled along
I am riddles, I am songs
I am complexity alone.
When you think you've got it right—when all along you're wrong.
