time is either a blessing
or a curse.
for us, it was the ultimate
plague.
it was never the right time,
always hurried,
or rushed,
or stolen.
it was either too early
for us to recognize what we felt
or too late for us to express it.
and now,
its just been
a long time,
way too ******* long
since i've felt
your lips on mine
and your hands
on my waist.
Is it possible to throw-up an entire year?
I'd do it
Taste aversion would be helpful in the future.

we lay there,
you with your back turned
to me.
i used
my fingertips
to trace
the words
my mouth
never has the
courage to say.
and you just fell asleep.
and i'm starting
to think that's a metaphor
for what you'd do
if i let you
hear what my heart
has been *screaming
i find it quite sad that the only thing stopping me from beng who i wish to be is a certain sequence of numbers.

numbers seem to have more power over people than any god or government-

this world was built-

and will burn-

because of numbers.

bank account statements cause stalemates between myself and my ambitions-

I am chained and restrained by my credit score, cruelly kept from exploring distant shores.

men slay their fellow man without a second thought

for a fat stack of cash and thoughts of what could be bought.

John Lennon imagined a world with nothing to **** or die for
no posessions too

but money is the cruel hand that tears that dream in two.

for as long as the concept of money
is the fire that drives men's hearts to beat

we will never truly see peace,
living at the mercy of the balance sheet.
Sure, it'd be nice to walk
Along the shore of the beach
And watch the sun set
With you.

But I'm happy enough to run
In circles around the track
And watch the grass wilt
With you.

Sure, it'd be nice to cuddle
While eating junk food and snacks
And watch a horror movie
With you.

But I'm happy enough to sit
While laughing over your shoulder
And watch funny videos
With you.

Sure, it'd be nice to be
The one whom you call "yours"
And to be loved back
By you.

But I'm happy enough to love
The perfect person you are
And savor the moments I spend
With you.
Although you are oblivious to my love, therefore likely not to feel mutually, your laugh alone is enough to make me smile.

true poetry is of such nature
that every
single
letter
hurts

blood has to spill
from tongue
and lips

it grips you
by the nerves
hits
you
so
hard

that any other thing will  be
just something else.
Raise your glasses, my poetry friends.
Here's to infinite needlessness!
