My desire
of wanting you
was greater
than my
pleasure of
having you

We pieced our
hearts together like a
puzzle with no picture

Our love has
been a poison but
we drank it like elixir

Maybe you’re not “him”
But at the very least
You’re a cool spring of water
And a field full of flowers
With the perfect tree for climbing
Along my path
Or maybe
You are an oasis mirage
But I’m heading in that direction
So we’ll see
What may be
Between you and me
Clipping my poems
so that they look cute
on instagram
so that they huddle
like chickens bound in a
butcher’s lorry
making way for pictures
feet-  in –a tangle,
like snipping a plant
for Bonsai
you think it’s the branches that you prune
but it’s really the roots that you
mangle.

Fate broke the strings
but the guitar's just fine
for the final verdict says
'I'm all yours and thee all mine'
She's a Monster and schizophrenic
Help me patiently wait

                        wait.
When you say I’m pretty, do you mean with all my chaos?

i’m not happy

but i practiced forging
its signature
until no one could tell
the difference
