you shouldn’t have told me
that i’m important to you in the first place
maybe those words were nothing to you
but you had me hoping for the best,
worst is how you knew it very well
how fragile and soft-hearted i am
that you could break me anytime
and fix me when you decided to

for him

I Am Always Here

I am the breeze within your hair,
The whispered song that says I care.
The moonlit glow that steeps the night,
A beacon sure, your guiding light.

I am the roots that hold you fast,
The fleeting days that turn too vast.
In every shadow, every hue,
I live within, alive in you.

I Had Never Know It

I tend to think of all my love,
When a rock ballad plays.
First I think of you,
Six months for Sixpence,
Maybe we weren't ready for each other,
Maybe we weren't supposed to meet.
Then I think of her,
How there isn't a star left that's as stunning,
As you were to me.
I'm so sorry,
That I was never ready,
Never was I trying to be a heartbreaker;

I'm just a growing boy.

Inspired by Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer

to all the boys i’ve liked before

it’s happening again,
sick and crying
is it too much
to always want to be wanted?

it has always been like this
i wish i could like someone
who liked me first
then i don’t have to force myself
into their lives.

Six foot deep in a shallow grave

He says ,"Everyone deserves the least if they want the most !"

I twist the loose strands of the wicker rocker

"You work hard all you life for nothing ."

"You don't sleep , you blink and bleed while you think , what for !"

"There's no escape , no loose rage in the hot sauce of defeat !"

"No escape , no sleep , don't slip , don't quit . Just bleed and blink and think !"

Voyuers Can Be

I could see where

you let it alone.

I wanted more of

that for you.

For no reason.

Trying to bless

first-person.

A continental push

off a shelf.

A string of bubbles.

Piecing salt.

Voyuers can be very

compassionate.
