It starts with unfriending
and go befriending
Embrace a new chapter
that can make you happier.

Letting go is not easy
especially when you are lazy
even more when it's comfortable
when you felt lovable

Not much to say now
as this somehow feels new
Will have to know
Being alone with sorrow

Hi De
Lying down with my head on your lap
Staring straight right into your eyes
Lost in your ever sweet smile
Wrapped within your warm and caring arms

I could just stay right in this moment
Be with you of all the people in this planet
Care for you, love and serve you,
For all I want is to grow old with you

So as I speak, I bend my knee
I take your hand and hold it gently
Look at you as you smile at me
Bring out this ring as I asked you to be with me

There's certain things that make me feel high
in the most natural of ways,
like the colors of the sunsets
and your smile on a bad day.

You were hungry for me,
The sweet taste of skin and love.
You were searching for me,
Grasping me tight when you found me.
You were begging for me,
Don’t go, you pleaded, my heart is yours.

So what happened?

For now, my skin is dry without your love to cleanse it,
My body is crumpled on the floor,
Used and now forgotten.
And now you say,
Don’t go... but I won’t beg for you to stay.

My favorite picture has a dog in it
Not my dog
There’s a window and some snow
An early morning glow
Some sunshine and a smile too
A girl with a robe
Bare feet and toes
Her hair in some half did do
It’s a February morning
Not much more to the story
Just my favorite picture of you

What are we
looking for
Lost voyeurs
Scrolling thru
Each other's lives
At breakneck speeds
Time traveling
From Not present
To inaccessible  
An unconscious collective
Our departures marked
By blue screen glare
And a vacant stare
Intelligent phone
Intransigence drones
The United State of
Learned helplessness
