i tried to get high
to forget everything
you ever told me.
i noticed that
you were far more
addictive than any
drug i had ever taken.

the sun played beautiful sonnets on her shoulders.
every ray that hit her,
effortlessly caught my eyes.
beautiful waves crashes around her legs,
and a breathtaking smile was displayed.
thousands of shivers
crawled throughout my body,
and i knew that i had to touch her.

"Do I dare disturb the universe?"
I dare. I do.
Do you?
Oh darling, do-
I do, I dare.
I dare, I do, and
Daring, too,
I dare you to.
Once again, quote from T. S. Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.
my stomach flutters
my soul shutters
my voice stutters;
this is what you do to me

Don’t let me wake up please
I don’t want to wake up with thoughts like these:
Love? Is that some sort of cheese?
Don’t let me wake up thinking
I’m worth more dead than alive
I don’t want to wake up by your side
I don’t want to open my eyes
If you aren’t who I dream of at night

Don’t let me wake up with regret
I haven’t felt much regret yet, yet,
I feel like it’s coming faster than an air jet
Filled with important people I have never met
I don’t want to wake up
Wondering when it went wrong
Trying to remember, but forgetting the song
Wondering if I should have known all along

Don’t let me wake up as my mother
Don’t let me wake up as my father
I want to wake up like a lover
With roses by my bed and not a revolver.
