'Just be yourself' she said
'But who is that?' you asked.

Sincerely, I don't hate you
But I'm not the best with things like this
so I tend to avoid it all.
I'd convinced myself I liked you
Even though I never really got to know you.
I could have made it obvious but I was afraid.
Afraid on your behalf in some ways.
Anyway
I'm sorry if my behaviour made you feel a certain way.
It's only cuz I like you

Chaos is beauty in its purest form

you're nothing but a profile
a series of prompts and poses,
super-likes and roses;
a loneliness exposed in disposable screenshots.

day one, same again
Monday morning, hazy head
early yearnings;
coffee, ***
and cigarettes for breakfast

the oldest friend
I barely knew
turned to a memory
left alone with the new

The names change, the game remains the same.
it's a life of haste
but the pace is set by someone else's actions.
The attraction, I guess
Is the subtle inaction
a kind-of
cruise control slip stream
free from distraction.
