sorry, bro
collin May 2015
she seemed to feel the need
to be pretty drunk
to sleep in your bunk
she must not like you that much
246 · Jan 2021
cheese
collin Jan 2021
from the womb
the love you exude
similar to seeking
warmth from the moon
245 · Jan 2021
locked in
collin Jan 2021
i have yet to decide
my favorite vice
they all taste like the same spices
244 · Apr 19
i guess
collin Apr 19
you’re busy playing wordle in a ******* bathroom
you’re talking to your future self inside a vacuum
you only know their songs from one of the guitar hero games
but you’ll wear the t-shirt all the same
244 · Apr 2016
whatever
collin Apr 2016
with the mentality that i'm
trying to fool myself into believing
i shouldn't care but i do

collin May 2015
my eyelids seem to be obese
yet tonight, under these sheets
i'll wait for sleep to find me
i gave up looking for it a while ago
244 · Jun 2021
i felt happy
collin Jun 2021
feeling amazing
i graze upon
seeking saline
and saying
out loud
the things i’ve lost
redirecting the pain i felt
the insane i was dealt
matriarchal reign
my adolescent hell
i descend as i dwell
i wish the memories erased
and well, i am still presented
with a text and facetime call
each week, wishing me well
241 · May 2015
pillow talk
collin May 2015
tripping on floorboards
the door tore open once more
if i could sing, i would
if we had wings, we'd soar
*let's get naked
and explore

if i was a book
the story would be boring
but you'd love the end

collin Nov 2023
honestly, it’s not so bad
right now
she’s not mad
right now
he’s not sad
right now
if i don’t think about it

perfect hair forever
collin May 2015
i've been having this problem
ever since i signed next to the X
superiors jealous
because my combover is the best
240 · May 2015
unproductivity
collin May 2015
i was busy all morning
organizing thoughts
and upon completion
i dropped the box
240 · Jun 2019
serious fear
collin Jun 2019
i’m scared of the future
****** stares through sutures
pirates who don’t understand who you were
Before the scooters with less wheels
Soon we’re dying to try and live
Slippery thighs with lies within
Skinny kids slithering in to the house slytherin
My kids will begin to wither when
Their eyes see the skin their in
You’re working for a scholarship
sent. fist through mirror.
239 · Oct 2016
silence
collin Oct 2016
i'm digging this sound
deep beneath the ground
asleep with the hounds
i'll keep making my rounds
239 · Dec 2021
clumsy
collin Dec 2021
no heart and all thumbs
i’m tired of feeling dumb
scarred wrists and empty cup
i’m tired of feeling numb
239 · May 2015
you are everything
collin May 2015
i want to give you everything
so i sat down
took a deep breath
laid it all out
came to this corny, cliche conclusion
that i would buy you a mirror
238 · May 2015
Sun
collin May 2015
Sun
wake up to the german sun
you might say son, it's all the same one
but i'm no dunce, i know the sun
we've had fun, we were friends once
then i moved away from the states
that made me stay the same and changed

now all i see is his brother
who shines a billion different shades
Of homesick
238 · Feb 2014
you of the past.
collin Feb 2014
i hate you.
for lack of a stronger word.
237 · Apr 23
popcorn
collin Apr 23
you wake up, you’re angry
the world, you resent it
your moms on ozempic
there’s no one to vent with
the ceiling makes sense
if you stare at it long enough
236 · Jul 2015
would you rather
collin Jul 2015
i'd rather be caught
in the cold chaos of war
laying in a broken cot
right next to yours
then in a wind blown
to your front porch
and you're not home
235 · May 2015
shallow
collin May 2015
you thought yourself so subtle
and follies so few
but to be brutally honest, sweetheart
i've met puddles jealous of you
235 · May 2015
extemporthighs
collin May 2015
i want to build a castle
that will house all the arousing
words you throw around without
knowing where any of them are going
now you leave me no doubt
that your blouse will have found
it's own way to the ground
by the end of the night
234 · May 2015
ignition
collin May 2015
a wise man once sang
and the words uttered still remain true
*it's the freakin' weekend
baby i'm bout to have me some fun
if you don't know what this is a reference to then maybe you need to culture yourself a lil more
233 · Jun 2015
shallow
collin Jun 2015
when a mountain cascade
was the only face to put with the name
people seemed to care more for what i had to say
this is a sad day
233 · Jul 2015
pam
collin Jul 2015
pam
the impending ending in sight
together for one more night
i can't pretend to know
how the rest of the story goes
but i do know this was the best
weekend of my life
232 · Jun 2022
strike one
collin Jun 2022
like ivory split on wooden planks
she whispered to the cloud
thanks
for watering the plant
from the very seeds she planted
231 · Jun 2015
dig it
collin Jun 2015
so another weak night
on a weekend, we fight
to stay relevant but i
forgot you're heaven sent
i never meant to say this things
231 · Jun 2015
you've got mail
collin Jun 2015
an invitation
you called to me in blood red
request denied, *****
231 · Jul 2022
tornado
collin Jul 2022
your love used to move smoothly
over the smoking coals of my heart
in no small part due to who i used to be
you tried so hard to sooth the beast
but your dream of redeeming me
returned only with mandatory therapy
and a face full of seething steam

230 · May 2015
range day
collin May 2015
while i lay in bed, watching episodes
of the office for the seventh time
you and him stand in the mountains
firing a high caliber weapon
at silhouette targets that might as well be me

***** sheets
nights on repeat
lack of sleep
excess energy
my own enemy

a couch and a candle
collin Jul 2022
i see things things i don’t mean
and say things that nobody else does
maybe someone with a college degree
can make sense of this digital buzz

226 · Feb 2021
downpour
collin Feb 2021
i miss the days before the flood
when jokes were funny
when pockets held money
when mornings were sunny
instead of nose runny
tears corroding cheeks
deep canyons out of creeks
resentment when we speak
impaled on mountain peaks
stress is a disease
i miss the day we find a vaccine
226 · Jun 2015

collin Jun 2015
kindly whispered
the pale night's sun
*go to sleep, delusional one
225 · May 2015
natural causes
collin May 2015
you died upon that pedestal
because i wouldn't let you down
until you stopped being beautiful
225 · Jul 2022
you are my sunscreen
collin Jul 2022
i’ll meet you where you might meet me
sandy scales of ocean water become your feet
the only memories of us I felt worthy to keep
skinny jeans and anxiety in corpus christi
you made me forget myself on the beach
224 · May 2015
the irony in loving you
collin May 2015
like a doctor's list of patients
with obsessive compulsive disorder
filed alphabetically over and over and over

i don't want to be around
for anything other than
to make you feel better
than you do right now

collin Mar 9
i finally knew
why we never met
on the other side of the move

you packed the broom
while i packed the *****
221 · May 2015
this castle
collin May 2015
erecting the walls
knowing the ones who travel
to knock them down
and more valuable than the ones who only call
220 · May 2015
full of it
collin May 2015
it's hard to find anything these days
in a world where it seems everyone is so
happily engaged to be engaged
220 · Nov 2024
Cycle
collin Nov 2024
I'm beyond me
Beating myself for being myself
And then beating me again
220 · Mar 2022
imaginary
collin Mar 2022
my eyes meet your baby blue gaze
“nice to meet your face”, they say
my heart keeps a pace
adjacent to a train racing
to replace itself and sound and light
and if he attacks me
i hope it is not tonight
219 · Oct 2016

in this hall of women
stripping to get money
to pay their groceries
to eat i found love

to the skinny white
staying by the wall
all night

when i tried to make sense
of who's who and what's what
unfortunately, you didn't make the cut
regardless of your cute ****

testimony
collin May 2015
that there is someone out there for everyone
is the greatest lie we choose to believe

native hues
collin May 2015
the curtains give this room an orange tint
I sit
cigarette lit
I told you I quit
but sleep soundly, on your pale moon,
as the second of two
bad habits I couldn't kick
