I may have just started going to this school, but I've met one of my closest guy friends ever.
He is a grade below me, but whenever we get the chance to hang out and talk, it's the best part of my day.
We were just hanging out on the football field and decided to sit and talk under the bleachers. It was so fun.
Even tho some kids don't know how to mind their business because it was almost time to go inside, and we got up out of under the bleachers, and a group of kids said Ohh, what were you guys doing under there? " and I said talking.
Thank you so much, Carter, for being one of my closest friends at this school. You're worth a million, and the best person ever...

Loving you was beautiful

I cook while you work
I wait until you come
The food became cold
But never the atmosphere
We warmed the dinner with our love
I miss and see back to that moment clearly
It was only me who was never cold

Histories

I'm in some ancient
Repressed memory
Looking for an
Anchor,
As to where I
Immediately
Am.

I mix up the soundtrack
Forgetting that song was
For then, not right
Now.

But,
The past is gone,
Left alone
To make it today.

Here I am,
Bright eyed and bushy tailed,
Medicated and motivated,
Even if I can't remember
Where this song belongs,
It makes me feel
Something
Old.

Well, I told the truth

Well, I told the truth
Including the corrupt
I fall many times
Yet still I don't give up

I do have some hope
If ultimate despair
Still love Bob Dylan
Highwater Everywhere

Women are the mystery
Jesus was a sailor
The Buddha sits in silence
Bangkok has the tailor

I sleep, I sleep quite late
Call my darling sons
Taxi home at night
From Taipei 101

Day is Done.

A MOTHER

A mother is a gentle hand,
That guides me when I cannot stand.
Her voice is soft, her heart is strong,
She lifts me up when things go wrong.

She works in silence, day by day,
Giving her love in every way.
No crown of gold, no robe of pride,
But endless care she cannot hide.

Her arms are home, her smile is light,
Her prayers guard me through the night.
If love had shape, if love had name,
A mother’s heart would be the same

All mother's deserve love from their children

Fill in the ****

Recorded my goodbye
a whole month ago.
I dropped that heavy word
but now, I just don't know.

Because if I had ****d you,
Wouldn't I have fought?
Wouldn't I have bitten back,
Against the end you wrought?

And if I had ****d you,
Wouldn't I have tried?
To swallow your friendship,
Even knowing that you lied?

These questions seize me,
And rattle my spine.
Brand me ashamed,
As though I crossed a line.

And then it floods back:
My certainty, my rage;
That howl of grief...

If this was not ****, nothing is.

Wanted to try something a little more interactive, but not sure if it works. Lmk!

Empty Me

Am
I
wrong

to
love
you

Every man
I meet
is nothing
but a shadow
of you

Every laugh
every touch
every word
reminds me
I can’t
I won’t
I don’t
have you

It’s not distance
It’s terror
If you see me
really see me
I’ll destroy
us
before you can

I want you
so much
it hurts
it twists
my chest
my stomach
my head
into fire

You deserve
everything
I can’t give
anything
I can’t
I won’t
I shouldn’t

So I watch
I wait
I rot
I burn
I ache
I bleed
quietly
alone

Even in silence
I burn for you
Even in stillness
I am empty
Even in the ache
I still want you
I still need you
I still love you

And it
kills
me

what do we think?
