The future tends to seem hopeless,
The hopeless knowledge that time can't stop,
It won't stop,
And every moment will go away eventually
No matter how much I wish time to stop it won't

But maybe it'll slow down
Just a little
Or maybe that's what memories are for
Making little pictures of things that mean a lot to us so we can repeat them
Let them replay in our minds so they could be treasured
Just,
a little longer.
Remember when I used to look up fan sounds on YouTube when we slept at your moms house?

Well now I'm looking up videos of soft breathing to try and fall asleep.

Even with the fan it's hard to sleep

Disappearing into a nothingness so you can't see
Fading into everything is where I'll be
Pushing out everything
gaining nothing
solitary
Well, decided to try something new and there was this prompt about making each line in the poem smaller. So here's my attempt and I hope y'all like!!

I've never read
                                                            ­                  the same poem twice.

                 Laying in bed,
                                                     words shift in my mind.
                                                           ­         
                                                       ­                                    You hear they've said
lightning don't strike twice.

St. Mary's, I obligatorily board the biding vessel,
I drift from your shores in the midnight hour,
I sail home where I must lay my weary head;

but little do they know,
you are my bedfellow,
St. Mary's.
To the commuters who disperse their being between two different worlds.

don’t fall in
love with someone
who says the right
things.  fall in love
someone who does
the right things.

ya vijy vi volnyetes' moi dryg
y vas tryasytsy ryki, plyashyt nogi
vi pozabili vsex i kajdogo vokryg
boyas' svernyt' s pryamoi kak shest dorogi.

*** vistypaet, v ygolkax glaz stoyat slezi
ne v sostoyanii stoyat', sidet' i govorit'
vi plachite, dlya vas vse tak ser'ezdno
moi dorogoi, ny kak tak mojno jit'.

no ne volnyisya, dryg moi
podojdi;
vi rano so schetov spisali vas je;
i esli mi seichas ne pobedim
to vperedi mi viigraet i dvajdi.
