you say you’re not a poet but
with a girl like that,
how could you speak
anything less than
the stars?
-a.c.b
Poetry is not the blood you bleed,
Poetry is the bandaid you need.

wake up wanting to cut your ear off. the moons the only thing laughing at you for not being able to sleep. you're reminded of the eyes you've fell for. sway with them for a bit. drink red paint to ease the pain. cut it off. give it to some girl you just met. playing only the white notes on a piano. drink more paint. cut off the nose this time. give it some other girl you just met. read Tolstoy. to ease the pain.

If you put sand
In a bucket of water
Eventually,
it settles at the bottom.

I'm not sandman,
But I'm at the bottom
In the lake
Of my tears.

Not settled
But drowned.
Sinking in the well. Not too well.

Is it
A field of stars
Or
A constellation of orchids?
Polishing stars and polishing shoes

You tell me I was good with words
And you fell in love with me

You tell me I was good with words only
And you fell out of love from me
Pens are mightier than swords
But actions speak louder than words

Hello
It's like hell
With an O
Or halo
