Stand near the cotton candy maker;
What a carnival atmosphere!

Sugar permeates the air we breathe;
The taste briefly lingers on the tongue.

Yet, the thing sweetly desired obtained
Becomes a sticky mess.

People always think I use the words
"I love you" too fast,
but what they don't know
is that I've loved you for years.
You just never noticed me.

One day
we might
meet again,
you may
not remember me
but I’ll never
forget you.
Until then
when I
need you
I’ll keep you
hidden away
so no one
can touch you
In the back
of my mind
somewhere
where I know
you’ll be
safe and sound

i started my car today through denim sleeves.
thwarted all the evil dreams you had of me.
thought it was easy to pull away my seams.
take the thread and weave a web for us to see
of insecurity.

bleeding out over a broken mirror
dissected reflection, here’s my deepest fear.
