And I have so much
To say. But not enough room
To fully love you

Maria Cordero Dec 2014

Five.
I met you--a breath of fresh air

Four.
Everyone talked and we played pool
I was sixteen and insisted nothing

Three.
I sipped
You flirted
At twenty you preyed on the naive

Two.
And then there were three
A bottle of gold and a hot tub for gods
I should have stopped drinking
But you were creeping

One.
Years passed
Friends gone
Friends new
Mind still *******
And all I wanted was sleep

Maria Cordero Dec 2014

Stop trying to understand & just listen

The moment when
Being alone takes over
And all you can do is cry
On your own shoulder

When no one is around
To understand how you feel right now
All you can do is take a bow
And survive the night somehow

She never wanted to need you
But when she knows you'll understand Better than she can
She can't help but wonder if you're lost

Your best is out in the wild somewhere
And he can't understand
How alone you feel
Though you're surrounded by dozens

To see you

With your rose eyes
And your ocean lips
Oh yes
I am in love with someone
Who has yet to exist

That morning in the kitchen
When we both reached for the eggs
I don't even like most breakfast foods
But your face looked like a glorious sun

Our hands touched first
And I flinched
Yet, I can't believe I don't know
What it feels for you to exist

Everyone knows what it's like
To want the one they love
I just want to know what you look like
And to meet you for once

We Were Promised

We were promised
Glitz and glam
Love and security

Never the beating down
Of our own
Never the feeling
Of an unlovable soul

Waterfalls into the night
We all know something ain't right
The nonsensical millennial
Smokes into the night

The harder we work
The harder we fall to our dying depths
And you wonder why
We haven't slept yet

We were promised
And now we are *******

Adulting

I don't want to
Throw up or Cry
& Overthink everything
At the same time

But I'm drunk
And it seems to be all
Which comes to mind

I really shouldn't drink so much
But who is to tell me
What to do
When all I need is rent
& food is a secondary expense

This adulting thing doesn't bode well
Too many bills
Too many responsiblities
Too many expectations

With blood comes too many questions
And isn't it easier to
Tell a story than
Actually speak the truth

Won't back down

You tell me I'm aggressive. Yes.
I'm will say ****, and curse, and fight
When I don't like what's being said to me.
And about me.
I don't care if it's a joke.
It bothers me.
It's part of who I fundamentally am.
I shouldn't say sorry for being hurt by your teasing.
Especially a topic that gets me going.
I'm going to bite back.
And I refuse to be a lady.
Not sure what you were expecting.
But I won't back down.
I hope you're okay with it
Because I refuse to change for a man.
You're great and all.
I really do think you're cute.
But I'm my own first love.
And hot ****, that crush is moot.
