You gave me this piano
Bc you felt the music in me
I promise to always play for you
Anytime that you plead
I love this piano
Almost as much as you
So I play these keys
A beautiful song or two
Just to see your smile
See the glimmer in your eyes
And put your heart at ease
Now that you’re gone
I play this piano
Hoping you can hear me
From miles apart
Knowing you can feel me

Idk

I need to do my dishes
I need to fold my laundry
I need to clean my place and
I can’t find motivation
I’m sick of coughing
And feeling under the weather
I’m on my period
And I feel heavier
I need to take care of me
But it’s so hard to breathe
So what is the purpose?
When all I feel is emptiness

Sour

Unity. Equality. Liberation.
Yet we are still looked down on as a woman
We don’t have the strength to protect
We don’t have the safety net
We don’t have the power
to be head of household
We don’t have the mind to mold
A family of four as a whole
Is it because we’re gay?
And looked down on as a prey?
Because it’s easier to point out a rainbow
Than a shade of black, white, and gray.

Why couldn’t I just be a boy cuz then, maybe then, I could be your man.

Heart Shaped Face

Two and a half hours I saw you today
Your mask was on the entire way
Your eyes sparkled every time it met mine
You then took them off at the end of the night
From my throat to my stomach
I felt a sudden rush
My eyes melted as my cheeks turned pink
My smile so big I couldn’t hide
Your precious face was then uncovered
Your perfect cheekbones
And your straight teeth
Your wonderful smile
And the cutest dimple
How could such beauty stand 12 inches close to me?
It is you that I’ll always admire

I was never here to compete with him
My main purpose was to make you smile
I know my chances are very slim
But every chance is worth the while

I don’t compare him to myself
To try and change the way I am
I want you to see me for yourself
How I can be more than a man

I don’t write poems just to woo you
I don’t play music just to trick your heart
I do it because it is what I love to do
And it’s my favorite kind of art

So don’t question the love that I have
I don’t do it because I want to be wanted
My intentions are genuine and innocent
Because it’s more pure that I ever imagined

My Dear Poet

Remains

my heart    is split
into two   parts
  the part that   is now left
        and the part   that was right

She is my Autumn

You’re the strongest woman I know
You’re the most precious human I’ve adored
Your skin is the softest thing I’ve touched
Forever will never be enough
Longing for you is permanent
And my love for you is infinite
