when
  we know that,
something is
   killing us.

what is
  our fascination
to keep
  touching it?

still there?

i literally
  write poetry
that people
   are so proud
to put up
   as memes
you understand?

i guess that
  memes are for
shorter,
    i want it now
  attention spans?

with me?
  you will
never get
   it now!

anticipation
  and foreplay
with words
  is who i am,
my vow.

there's
  absolutely
no fun
  in what
comes easy.

what's best
  is the thrill
of the chase
  and some
  lip licking
teasing.

so yes,

  it is indeed
    going
to be a
  new year,
new decade.

but;

  what oh what
in this life
   has pushed you
to fade?

  please don't
blame others
  when you alone
choose your fate.

slow your
  life down,
be rid of
    the haste.

a new decade,
  a new year
and you
  still will not
blame you.

  keep lying
to yourself and
  unhappiness
will continue
   sticking
to you
     like glue.

listen y'all:

  you don't need
a new year
    or decade
to change whom
  you wish
to be.

a change
  in year
means nothing
  if you put
asterisks on
   your conditions
of being free.

three years,
some days I no longer count,
but you were the second woman I loved;
the first to love me back,
& the first to break my heart...
...
Darling, wherever you are I hope you're happy and free
'Cuz I'm still right where you left me...
//on my ex girlfriend//

First of two 3 year anniversaries for me in the coming months. **** 2017.

To Swim Is To Live

Learn from this undread
Come wave or crashing waters down
We all get wet in the sooner or later
Don't fear
Only a few ever drown
Fear is natural, in order to keep you living and breathing. But only certain waves would actually **** you, if you know how to swim.

everything that made him him
was leaking out the hole in his chest
the cracked ribs finally failing
god, if only he wasn't a fool
God, please make this real
//On love//

new.

just like that
we said goodbye

not to leave
but to commemorate
the good times

and to welcome
in some more.
Thank you.
