You're my favorite kind of thief,
stealing my heart,
but letting me be.

My nights consist of falling apart
On a daily basis
That’s according to my thesis
On my own self evaluations
Keep getting caught in bad situations
This is an invitation
To not feel okay
Sometimes you just need to cry
Let it all out
In a form of sentences
Trying to express your emotion
What’s holding you down promoted
To this cause I am devoted
Left vulnerable and open

Bleeding and broken

Tupac Shakur
Cheesey smile, all allure
Your revolution started years ago
But I still want more
I want more of your music
I want it deep in my core
But that obviously can't happen
Because we live in a cruel world
You spoke truth and tragedy
Didn't care if it was appealing
We could use you right now
Because now rappers are screaming and mumbling
They aren't teaching the youth anything relevant
I want to be a poet like you
Teach the world unfairness
But your shoes, I can't fill those
Tupac Shakur, you shook the world
But I'm only 16
I don't think I can ever be
As life changing as you

I don't believe in soul mates
What I do believe in
Is people that connect
On some deeper level
Immediately upon acquaintance
And not meaning you agree
On where to eat for dinner
But the connection where your heart
Seems to slip out
Of your rib cage
Because it's found a home
Outside of your chest.

What's the point of putting my guard down?
I'm just going to mirror a clown
That's how relationships always end
For me
But you're playing some different trick on me
You're not saying the googled pick up lines
Your flirting is foreign to me
Like you just flew in from Tuscany to find me

City.
4 letters, endless meanings
Sunny weather, families grieving
Cloudy skies, couples squealing
City.
Fast cars, flashing lights
Uber rides, melochany goodbyes
A hug, a kiss a walk inside
The airport, she waits in line
He waits by the side
Seeing whose dms to slide in
As she flies back to her city
City
Rat infested, overcrowded
Notorious fashion, subways and taxis
California boy on her mind, but she missed her city
City
Hollywood Sign, stars on sidewalks
Makes it on rodeo drive, many girls to find
New york girl is way out of his mind
He's in his element, he's in his city
City
So far apart
So appealing
