I smoked to fill my lungs
to **** the flowers that grew there
the ones you planted last december

The art of letting go
Knowing when to say enough
Not allowing oneself to be drawn back in
Only to be snuffed

Not a strong point
Too much contemplation
Becoming  consumed
By thoughts of you
When the only thought should be
I am through

Trying to decipher signs of any kind
No matter the conclusion
Still blind

Why reach out when you won't reach back?
Lack of relationships leave me dismissive
Feeling misted by my emotions

A potent potion causing moments of over thinking
Step outside myself & stare without blinking
Blank is where my mind isn't but I wish my slate was

Sucker for love or the idea of it
The most harden person covets it at one point
Anoint a special someone to be blood of my blood

How many have I looked at longingly?
Only to become a bother & shunned
Love is not in my equation

I'm the sum of a square with no roots
Just tumbleweed stumbling in pursuit of self-truths
Looted myself of feeling anything except misery

Where is she? I'd counter where am I?
Nowhere in her sight
I stay hidden in a haze feeling sorry about my plight

It's, not my size it's my insides that cause women fright
I'm a losing battle saddled with sadness
Drowning in madness
I digress

Alone where silence echoes
Wind whistles through the holes in my heart
Saltwater saturates the soul
Relationships in ruins, smolder around me
Love evades leaving scars with its double-edged blade
Weary from stress, it leaves its sliver hallmark in my curly locks
Step outside myself & stand eye to eye
Unrecognizable is the guy in the reflection of my eyes

Roses scent wouldn't remain
