All that is faceless is not a clock
A clock, by all account is faceless.
Never forget the visage and long
Faceless clock.

Pay attention to the night. The night is most lonely nowadays.
Sleep is, in its way, the death of mindfulness.
Are you upset by how foolish that is?

Holding hands
Clinging to the possibility
Of escaping loneliness

I hold tighter than he
More dedication, effort

Holding hands
So soothing and simple
But confusing and redundant

I worry about the possibilities
He doesn’t feel the same

Holding hands
Stepping stone of love
Being stepped on again

I breath short, scared of love
He breath matches mine, unison

Holding hands
Clinging to the possibility
Of escaping loneliness

Cheeks pressed against each other
Fingers locked on yours
Love is what we show each other
But not behind locked doors

The way you touch HER
As you once touched me
Makes me miss
10/18/18

The day your sweet voice
Asked me
To be yours

"Forever" you whispered
"And always" I replied
Seems to me
It was a disguise

For now you love her
as you once loved me
how tragic

Why do I love you,
And your manipulative ways?

I wish I knew.

Maybe it’s the way you smile,
Or the way you hold my hand.
Maybe it’s the way you kiss,
The way you understand.

Why do I love you,
Even though you lie?

I wish I knew.

Maybe it’s the way you laugh,
Or how you make me laugh too.
Maybe it’s your personality,
Or the little things you do.

Why do I love you,
When you love her?

I wish I knew.

I wish I knew what to do...

Baby please
Before we say goodbye
Kiss me
Just one more time

Baby please
Don’t leave like this
You just don’t get
How much I’ll miss

Baby please
Look at me
Before you move on
Can’t you see

Baby please
Hold me close
Before you’re gone
Before the wind blows

Baby please
One last hug
One last cuddle
One last...

Baby please
Before we say goodbye
Kiss me
For the last

Time.
