You think you know me
Because you know of patterns
You know the way of people
And you've been told the way the world turns..

You expect my next move
As if we are playing a game of chess
And you anticipate your next win
Upon my unmoved guess..

I tell you now,
that you know nothing of my mind
I move with the waves of my heart
My chosen next move is mine.

she didn't know
which was worse-
the idea that he
was falling out
of love with her,
OR
the idea that he
never was

Jealous Girl
 Jan 2016 Flo

She pierced my heart with just a glance
I couldn’t help but laugh
At that poor, jealous girl

And even then, she kept my heart
And held out hers
For me to take
But I declined it
She’s just a jealous girl

Walking by, she looks down as I kiss another
I hold her hand
And dry her tears
Whisper a sweet word in her ear
But she’s just another
Jealous girl

Don’t text her back
Flirt with her friends
Who cares, right?
She’s only jealous

Years gone by
Bed’s gone cold
And now here I am
Writing about her

Her blood has turned into ink
Her sadness into love
And I can’t help but wonder:
Where the heck is my jealous girl?

Pitch Fable
You waited for a lifetime
Like an old pine
That weights and watches
Just to see your planter

My little sunshine
You bear sadness in your seedling eyes
And your voice is rasped and withered
Is this the debt I gave you?
Or have my deeds all been forgiven?

I knew nothing then; only love
I know nothing still; only silence

No words to tell you now
No need to sweeten   your sad seed eyes
They are the sweetest ever
My dear, my love my sunshine

Forgive me for my lack of presence
I'll see you in a lifetime
