Listening to a song for the very first time,
and holding hands with someone new;
scribbling messy handwritten notes in your favorite book,
and hearing the words,
"You are not alone."

The feeling they bring is fleeting,
I know,
but it is one you are capable
of experiencing none the less.

Nevermind
I see you in places
I never thought I would
In buildings and streetlights
In overgrown paths through the woods
I see you in rays of sunlight
Spilling into a shadowy crevice
I see you in just about everything
Carrying you throughout all of this
Toy
***** you.

You ungrateful
*******.

You tear me apart
then build me back
up.

Like a child's
building blocks.

Like some
stupid toy.

***** you.
A poem about an ex boyfriend of mine that I wrote a little while back.
Did I reveal
Too much too soon
Safe and comfortable
I felt immune
To nonsense
And mind games
To make-believe
And withholding

On my best behavior
When I gathered
I could be much more
Myself, dear friend
Will you still like me then?

All you wanted was a hug
And someone to come

But you needed to get up
Yourself

To realize
You don't need no one

I want to hide.
Hide from it all.
No more computers, No more people.
I want to be all alone,
Just thinking.
This world can be a beautiful place,
But we decide to focus on the bad.
So I want to hide, hide, hide.
