I carry a mask in my purse
for special occasions.
Turns out
wherever there’s people
there:
occasion
Ladybugs
outline the memory of my childhood,
marking the pathway of my approach

Orange and black
like Halloween candy corn,
tempting diversion—they lure to encroach

my mind may have layers
stairs and levels
twisting
and turning
halls and rooms
but don't be fooled
my mind is not
a building
my mind is not
a home
in fact
my mind
is where i get
lost the most
I can't find refuge
not even in my own head
what day is it?

I’m going to catch
the biggest one yet;
my headline is tabloid
and I’m all set.

I’ll sit here and wait
for you to scroll over.
Don’t be afraid,
scroll a little closer.

My ridiculous title
will reel you in.
The sleight of hand
is the deadliest of sins.

You click my bait,
caught in my trap,
reading through
each paragraph.

Integrity is gone.
It’s all about numbers.
A mouse click reveals
what it uncovers.

The memories
is waiting to attack.
Waiting for me to fall at last
- right into the past,
to where Im running to get you back.

There is so much to miss
and I ain't got emotions
if I cant lean on to
the feeling from your kiss.

The the devils mind is inside my vein
beacause I took the turn
to where I crashed my heart
right into yours
again.
Too close
Step back
Refocus
Blink twice
Wipe away
A tear
All the love
You'll ever need
Is staring
You right
In the face.
