Novelty

I've lost my novelty
I'm no longer the shiny new toy that held your attention
I've lost your interest
I'm no longer that person

You let the sparks fly
And the ignition start
The fire in the pit
Put out in the dark

Now cigarettes are all I taste
Numbing it down with scotch
Tingling sensations
I try not to take it to heart

broken lover

I wish that
I did not know
where all broken lovers go
maybe then I'd have let you go

to be human

ghost

to be human

people driving fancy cars
look like beetles to the stars

the missiles and the bombs
are like symphonies gone wrong

and if there is a god
they'll know why it's so hard to be human

family

remember
even if you never wished to be in this family
your parents might've been crying for you to be here
so don't abandon them
blinded by your selfish desires

Never been in love..

I have never been in love,
but that didn't stop me believing
how magical it is!

Away

Lately
I don’t feel close
to poetry.

It feels elusive.
Unfamiliar.
Once it spoke to me.
But now it’s mute.

It sits back
and doesn’t look
at me.

If I call out
it doesn’t hear.

Lately poetry is
like that demon
I used to want
to reappear.
