IT'S ONLY BEEN 25 DAYS SINCE YOU LEFT AND I'M LEFT ACHING

From lengthy conversations to small talk being the new deep..lost generation..
I could never love you deserving.
I could never make it beautiful either. You walked away, I commend you on the well executed escape plan.
the contemplating, gun to the head girl, was not granted the pleasure of seeing your long black hair blow in the wind with the willows. all i could do was put the phone down.

-catharsis.
Cyphers , seeking enlightenment.

I wish you were easier to talk to.
I wish I was easier to talk to.
I wish you weren't in my dreams.
I wish you liked me.
I wish I didn't still like you.
I wish I had more energy.
I wish I didn't miss anything.
I wish you'd get out of my head.
I wish I didn't have to be writing this.
I wish I didn't have so many wishes.

running marathons of

chasing something

something like the

breath you laid on my shirt

what cancer to this body
by how you treat my cells
is irrational

& why all of this sitting ?

I would run to you

but

I know what's twisting your doorknob

and it's already sent me away

I want
so bad
to be somebody
to someone.

It’s scary out there Sai Ma
sometimes I just want to
hide in the folds of your orange skirt
tuck my head under your
manifold all embracing arms
Universal Mother
Please wipe the tears from
our red rimmed eyes
and kiss the boo boo
on our broken hearts

She's not just "a girl you know"
or someone you see on the streets.
Above anything, she's a dream
a gift
a miracle
every inch of her is a universe
you'd have trouble trying to define.
Tell her you love her
only if you really do,
if not then leave her alone.
You can try to fool her
but you should know
you're the one to fall down
in the end.
