Circa 1994 Dec 2013
Stone cold sober
And I'm okay.
Though a bit hungover
On sadness.
Nothing's fixed
When reality hits.

She was too ambitious
For someone that was often high.
And I admired the fact that she wanted to make
Mashed potatoes
At 9:30 at night.

So I felt entitled
And creative.
Circa 1994 Dec 2013
And I reread your poem,
The one about me.
And Emma blew my mind
(Figuratively)
She said:
"It's the same emotion
Whether you're a teenager or an adult.
It just intensifies
But it's still love."

So I wrote it down
So I wouldn't forget.
Circa 1994 Dec 2013
And I was high
And feeling low.
And I thought I was making sense.
She didnt have a journal
So I settled for a mini yellow legal pad.
And my thoughts were coming faster than I could write.
So I forgot.
Circa 1994 Dec 2013
I don't know which couch to make a bed.
I'm very prone to feeling sorry for myself.
Why is this happening to me!?
I think I'm just mad
My dad never taught me how to be brave.
I think he's more scared than me.
Circa 1994 Dec 2013
I'm in my underwear.
I'm wearing your shirt
And my favorite sweater.
I'm comfy
Cozy
Cool.
I'm not used to the chill here.
Maybe I could bare the backwoods.
I thought I was over my fear of isolation
But I'm not.
