She said, "I can't swim"
With a voice so confident
The ocean believes
They're still best friends.

There is a forgotten woodland
or a bluff overlooking the lake
I was meant to meet this evening,
but I didn't.
And I can feel the ropes of fate,
elastic as they have proven to be,
pulling on my heart's disguise
in angst.

i swear i  felt     y o u



deep


in                          my
chest      before i met
you, like all the time
i  thought   i     w a s
staggering on      for
him i        was really
justheadedtoyou, to
where my feet never
lose            their grip
and the  ends of  my
fingers  won't forget
what your  face feels
like    in   the earliest
hoursofthe morning.
you   h a v e   tied    a
string around        my
lungs    a n d    trailed
it all the   way  across
the ocean with     you,
looped your promises
every twenty miles or
so along the  way so i
have  no choice but to
follow you to find out
where they     end and
w h e r e    we    begin.
i'm officially legal today.

discard me, darling.
I'm water-damaged,
torn
and not worth much.
the ink is smeared-- I can no longer be read.

Let's go to the mountain top
and scream
and scream
until the sorrow in our voices
is no more

I believe the year has become a little bit disjointed.
A little muddled up.
The night before this very day.
I rolled indoors after a night upon the town,
My spot of going out to play.
Mother develops a mighty frown.
Came in late from local town.
Every light in the house was on.
I thought maybe it was October.
All the windows shone a mighty glow.
I thought I'd arrived for Diwali.

You,
in your
perfect stride.

You,
in  that
white light
they paint on you.

You,
with your
half-hearted
smiles.

You,
in that
protective,
guarded,
******
of a persona.

So many ways
I could paint
You,
yet none
resembles of that
they do.

Telling.

I've wrapped up
& taped down all my breaths
(This time)
Instead of
you
Always taking them away
