still breathing
Beans Jan 22
they ask me if i'm still breathing
and i say, "yes,
i guess"
but maybe
we could all use a little more Jesus
in here
because weve been drowning
in storms we never had to adhere
to.
gosh i really should start listening to Him more

This isn't love
Beans Feb 11
because this isn’t love
not even infatuation
just a mild attraction
a retroaction
from what had happened
just january
the 10th, though muddled with 11

it’s not even love
not grazing infatuation
just a wandering gaze
meeting a weak attraction
and trying to find
a fraction
of the faction
she was in

there’s no butterflies in the stomach
-maybe this is a delayed reaction
but theres a longing for attachment  
maybe it’s their benefaction
maybe attraction
gives satisfaction
to a non-terminating
plan of action
to satisfy
the never satisfied  

well we’ve been down this road
a bit too many times
it's more like they seem to be attracted to a person but not in the crush way. or maybe it is, because there's really no telltale sign. it's a gaze lingering over one a little longer than the other. try to satisfy the flesh with another person, showing attraction to just another person. the flesh is never satisfied. but i don't know why i can't bring myself to Jesus.

window view
Beans 7d
sunset leaking through the window
tainting everything it caresses
a sickly kind of orange
sky light sky blue
turning now to red
as sunset leaks through the window
kissing drawers, kissing heads.
oh what a beauty it is
the outdoors
but somehow i find myself
separated by a door
i can only watch the
sunset leaking through the window
pen in hand and paper before me
assignments and things to do
we were not made for this story

blood
Beans Jan 21
because if my poems have to be written in blood
to be noticed
i'd do it tenfold
so this
is where i stand
for desperation has replaced aspiration
and selfish gains have replaced passionate fame.

Fool.
Beans Feb 11
I drink from the cup
I ***** out foul poison
I drink it again.
