I couldn't tell you what I've learned in Maths,
Not the logs, not the line, not the stats.

I couldn't understand the numbers, that's true,
But in that class I fell in love times two.

A class so unbearable, difficult and absurd,
But I looked forward to it like the biggest nerd.

Electricity in the air, the wink of an eye,
Solving algebra and calculating Pi.

Nothing stayed in my brain, not a single fraction,
The only rule that I've learned is the rule of attraction.

Copy filled with theorems,
And heart full of poems.

I couldn't tell you what I've learned in Maths,
Not real life problems, not division not stats.

I've learned how to love a class that I hate,
Until our next meeting, I really can't wait.

Love

Love is a fuzzy feeling, it makes you happy
And it's all sappy
Love makes you feel whole
And closes the hole
The hole gets filled easily
So everyone goes on peacefully
There are many kinds of love
And all of them will keep you above
Above the crashing waves of loneliness and despair
Does anyone have any love to spare?
I gave all mine away
And couldn’t help but pray
Hoping someone will return my feelings
I thought they would, because they are human beings
But everyone rejected me
“Just count to three
You will be okay”
I couldn’t help but say
I held onto the last of my love
I shove
It goes deeper and deeper
I repeat in my head that this is a keeper
I prepare to keep it with me forever
I thought I was being clever
That way I would never get hurt again
And I became wary of men
Then I met her
And in a blur
It started to rise
I tried to tell myself lies
So I wouldn't be able to feel
But I ended up falling head over heal
I realized that I really did love her
So I gave up my control and let my feelings stir
I became her friend
And my heart started to mend
I kept my distance for I knew she didn’t feel the same
But then I thought she liked me too, what a shame
Turns out she likes someone else
My heart melts
I saw all the signs
But turns out they were different kinds
Now I feel stupid
I would never get the attention of cupid
She deserves better
I would never be able to get her
All I can do now
And I vow
I will keep her happy
Even if I feel ******
I will help her succeed
And stay freed
So she can find someone who is enough
And makes her feel loved

I never said I was dead.
I never claimed I was real.
I never saw you as a great.
I only tried to feel.


I couldn’t help you in space.
I’m way too far away from love.
I remember your tear-stained face.
I am giving up.


I never believed down there.
I never believed up here.
I never seemed to care.
I only saw what was never near.


I lived in my dreams.
I hid away from the world,
By floating off into a place of make believe.
Fantasy kept me alive when I wanted to be still.
Here, take my grief.

the matter of age is in your head
where it will stay
until you are dead.

In between ubiquitous pain
and shallow laughter---
---through my meandering rivers
I think of you

My proclivity for sadness
is my signature
And I’m sitting here
still staring at your pictures

When I said “it’s okay”
you knew it wasn’t fine
and losing a friend is losing a sacred poem
that once was lovingly mine


-c.s.
Cynicism that seeps into the heart
And baby, my heart is drenched in black hatred.

Sulfur breath and poison kisses.
I'm your raging demon.

Don't try to get me to settle down
and make me your Mrs.

I'll never be of Love and Light
when I hate my ******* life.

I am never satisfied.

Yet you try to please.

I am uncontrollable pure white fire rage.

Existential dread has taken it's toll
and I have lost the last of my control.

I want War to wage.

Rot to ensue.

The world to burn down right along with me and you.

And I might obsess with total impending doom,
Cause it's better than being stuck in this ******* room.

I can no longer take being alive on this godforsaken planet.
Why make something, just to abandon it?

Don't try to soothe, don't try to caress.

I will ***** out the light within
And possess.

So if you want to keep your sovereignty
Then you better stay the **** away from me.
**** Everything.
