you say you love me through drunken dialed phone calls at 5 in the morning and I can't say it back. I just don't want to give you something that I know I lack. If I had the love you deserved then maybe I'd be the one for you. But I am crimson and you are green and together we create a different hue.

Nothing taunts
a geezer so much
as the life unlived,
so if you are young
and still breathing,
get out and live it.

Let's build a world
of laughters
and choral singing
against a realm
of malice
and suicide bombing

You said in a drug induced haze, "how many times do I have to say I love you for you to believe me?" and I said, "never." because I do not think I'll ever believe anyone anymore when they say that they do. Too many promises are attached to a simple "I love you" and I know nobody can keep them anymore.
