you
I fell in love
with the way
your eyes light
up when you
speak, the way
your shirt falls
across your
chest.
I grew
accustomed
to your
fingers
brushing
occasionally
against mine,
the way your
feet moved as
we walked
side-by-side
---

*I fell in love with
destructive
mature man
holding his nose
to life
desires young woman
who
is indifferent to
oranges
and longs for those
days
before umbrellas
For each step
I inhale your presence
Stuck in your sight
I evade with shame

Confused with the signs
which tell your desire
To have me
Or to just be

With each caress
I cry my heart
Not to take advantage
Of your kindness

Built with this bond
a caution and limit
of what I can be
For you

But the toxic seeps in
As I fell hopelessly
I try to stand my ground
Too late

Every aimless try
leads me to an abyss
Not just to be a friend
but more than
Life is hectic, don't forget to breathe
I will be free
No matter what you say
There is nothing you can do
To stop me
exist
in this moment
don't look forward
don't wander in the past
live and
let your life happen
then and only then
will you attain peace.
something i truly believe in and am trying desperately to maintain; with a little inspiration from Tao Te Ching
.
Sticks and stones may break my bones
but *** and poems express me.
