I stopped fantasizing of you
I stopped placing excuses
between your teeth
others only picked them out...

I stopped defending you
I was only defending my heart

Hello, logic
It's been too long
life is tough, initially
when you remove
your rosy lenses
But then -
it's better

You see everything
and everyone

This isn't love
Although it wears the same shirt
This love will cuddle you-
It won't kiss you goodbye
it will strip you down
and cover you back up
It wears the cloak
Made up of your hopes and dreams


He is not love-
He only tries to be

I'm up with my mom
Past eleven PM
And she says she's awake
Because she doesn't care anymore

She counts her productive activities
On her fingers
And says,"the next will be
waking up."

I wonder if she ever thinks
Of the way I feel

She cries
And says,"The world's
Only going to get worse..."

She's right
