What is your name?
And where are you?

Are you a sunset
With the gentlest clouds,
Full of calm vibrance
In which I will lose myself?

Or are you a mountain
With deeply defined features,
Full of wild life
Which I will conquer?

Whoever I find,
You will surely move me,
For I will not have you
Until this is true

as life blows by,
we're told to
grab hold
of every moment;
seize it;
soak it in;
but as we
fall from this cliff,
though we
give it our all,
these hooks we hold
merely scratch the wall;
so as I drop,
I wonder instead:
when will I wake up?
where will I be?
and these
dear faces
I glimpse
as I fly by,
will they awaken next to me?

Oh, thanks for the message
Even though we're not talking anymore
Sure, you're welcome for the birthday gift
Glad you like it
Thanks for the lies

I went to a show sober
and I feel worse
at the end of this night
than I normally do,
but I guess at least it's real

Why wade into this world of love
These bold words written before us

Reliving loss,
Expanding the internal void,
Igniting desire that need not be

Why not say **** the world
And carry on alone

If you don't want to message me back,
that's fine
If you want to talk a bit and stop replying,
that's fine
If you want to talk for hours on end,
that's fine
If you want to see my poems before we meet,
that's fine
If you don't think I'm cute,
that's fine
If you only want me to be your best friend,
that's fine

Just because I know what I want
and I know I'm not going to get it
doesn't mean you can't get yours

Please don't show up now
I'm not ready to meet you yet
