there was you
that i had wanted at first
you had this spontaneous smile
it froze me in place

but then there was him
that i had wanted next
you had this neglectful attitude
it left me to chase you further

i left you
for him
selfish, me
but i wanted him
more than you

sorry

her

she was everything i had wanted to be
****, smart, skinny, sincere--
perfect

i hated her
i envied her
i loved her

she was perfect after all
and i
i was everything she wasn't

i like short poems, and i know I'm not getting any better. whatever.

red between my toes

eyes were bloodshot
nose was bleeding blue
mouth was torn
and throat was dry but slit clean

we looked yonder
saw creatures that didn't belong
but our shoulders shrugged
our knees loosened
and we forever lost our words

i never listened
to the sounds from over there
but i should've

but i should've

um, not really good at this "poetry" thing yet. just practicing here for literary magazine club at school. any criticism? please comment below.
