what am I supposed to do
all I've been doing is trying to center myself
lower the weight
so my gravity can focus me
calm myself down, write while I'm alone
find secrets to keep
but all this is just confusing me
because I know I want you but
I don't know if I should have you
the nights are getting later and I want to drink so badly
I want to be so intoxicated right now
and I sure as hell don't think I should be posting this poem
on the internet where you can see it.

it's just your mother and your father getting into your head,
I think you've never been more beautiful
You have to be lost
To eventually find
where you belong

We danced and shouted on the top of our lungs
We whispered promises while kissing each other's neck
Except I intended to keep mine when I woke up
While you pretended to forget

my hands use to ache of sorrow as if my mind couldn't quite teach them how to cry as beautifully as my eyes could
My 1 bedroom
apartment with 3 people
living in it is kind of a
metaphor for my heart.
You remind me of
slow burning cigarettes
and long lasting fires.
You remind me of beer
and behind
the library.
You remind me of
simpler times.
When all I had
to worry about was
if this beer was
a twist-top or not.
And if my hair looked fine.
But now... I have
to worry about if I've
lost you forever.
If you'll ever come back
and listen to my pathetic
apologies.
you remind me of
addicting love.
They're going to have
to put me in rehab
and peel every memory
of you off of my skin.
Because I keep imagining your
hand there again.
Because every time I put
a cigarette to my lips
I imagine your soft
skin, and not some orange
filter.
Everytime I put a pipe
up to my face I
imagine it's your lips
I'm kissing.
And not just some
smoke filled with THC
That'll only make me
miss you more.

And Everytime I put
a beer up to my
mouth.
I'm not tasting
the bitterness.
I'm tasting
the memory of you.
Robert. ugh.

I am never satisfied
for I am never enough.

She told me I could do better.
I could, and now I can.
Perfection is a few steps away
from a few steps away.
