Skies the limit
poised to dive
in it
spirit first

i am on my
knees asking
all the unanswerables
how do you unwind
unkink, unthink,
have faith, have trust
in more than pixie
dust.

Defeated
sore
poor
and
disinterested
my path
covered in brambles
and thorns
worn thin
like a rope
stretched far
too long
words of advice
just
hold
on

you

chopped
two letters off
you've changed
(so have I)
but I want to know
why my body still
skips a beat or a whole
bone when I hear about

you.

i've worried for too long over
the things I cannot control
so today will be the last
time I write about

you.

With your hands on your hips
and a smile on your lips
lookin' like you just
got your first kiss
I'm finding it hard to resist
'cause I'm an artist
and you're a masterpiece
I think you could be
the greatest part of me
if only I had the guts to say

Hello, hello, it's nice to meet you
I'm sorry that these teeth
that greet you
smell of cigarettes
but I think you're
the best in the
room

Although
you wanted to
strip me of
humanity
you taught me
to trust
myself
