He liked pringles.
So she thought that it would go
Straight to his heart.
What? What is this paper? Maaan, I just wanted pringles.
...
oh.
I see now.

A little girl is running
with a flower in her hand
in a pop song to save the world
But, in reality, she has a bomb
strapped to her waist

Some third world children
will do anything to get
their precious nano-second of death
and Fame, and video re-runs  -
their permanent piece of fame

it’s my soul
it isn’t yours anymore.
I love you.  



For the flowers on my bedside.

And the cat videos in my DMs.

I feel immolated
I didn’t notice at first
The temperature rising slowly
I felt no pain
But it’ll scar from gradual sears and flame
It kept burning, building until it was blazing and FLASH

I survived the inferno,
And I’m soothed by the ash

I wana close my eyes
& wake up next to you
I wana see your worst
that leads up to the best of you
I wana lay on your chest
& listen to your heart beat
Look up into your eyes
& tell you that it belongs to me
I wana please you
mentally, emotionally & physically
I wana make you smile
be your saving grace
kiss all over your face
& give you the best of me
I wana make you wana run home to me
& make love to me
because you love being alone with me
I want you to trust deep down in your core that I adore you
Do anything for you
I love you with all of me
I Would never do you any harm
You not being part of my world
means everything in life is wrong
I wana be your confidant
your best friend, lover & your wife
I want you to know that
where you belong is forever in my life.

I take care of all of you
I make sure you’re all okay
And part of that job
Requires me to say,
“I’m fine”
When I know
You don’t have it in you
To take care of me
Or perhaps I know I’m a lost cause and just want to take care of you as long as I’m still around...

Anything
I LIKE TO SAY YOUR NAME

I like to say
your name

when you're
not here

turn you
into sound

conjure you out of
thin air

so that you appear
before me

dressed in sound
only

memory sketching in
the rest of you

as if sound
was just an outline

and love
colours you in

adding the voice last
so I can hear you say.

"Hello you..!"
and there you are

as present
as present

can be.

I like to say
your name

when you're
not there.
