linger

linger
linger here with me
and look into my eyes
ask me questions 'bout my heart
and listen to my guise
as moon and stars gaze down on us
and every treetop sighs
while I pretend that I don't love you
linger
linger in my eyes

HEY

Hey Hot Stuff,

give me back my patience.

Abigail Card Feb 2018

I waited

I waited for the words
but they are dragging their feet,
leaving my tongue hollow
and the air around me
filled with biting emptiness.

jello

breaking up with you
felt like
silence had become jello
in the space between our bodies

room haiku

sweating, all is damp
muggy air fills wall to wall
they begin to drip

frank ocean

a tornado flew around my room,
     leaving a trail of dust clouds
billowing in its wake

the dust is getting in my eyes,
     and underneath my contacts.
will you be my eyes, for a time?
     and tell me what you see,

the tornado didn't touch you,
          but it blinded me.

bitter

when my poetry became bitter
i knew i would leave you
