if you haven't figuratively died a few thousand times
are you really living?
a door slams shut.
she waits for him to knock and
he's outside waiting for her to open up.
the door
remains closed.
pieces & parts,
it's all in the art of loving you
But is he as deliberate about you
as he is with his words?
Losing bits of sense like the
paintbrushes that lose
bits of paint with every unavoidable drip;
was it loving you or was it keeping
old bus tickets that killed me?
And as the soldiers bore dead bodies by,
**can we just love one another & still survive?

You're in my mind, stuck like glue
Please make me stop loving you

What do you want from me!?
**I'm just a boy
Sometimes, they expect too much of us. Sometimes, all we can do is try. They still mock us, they still question us. They say we're a disappointment. And all I can ask them, "What do you want from me? I'm just a boy."
We run out of time, we run out of ideas. We can't set our minds right, on things they require of us. Still we struggle. Still we try. All we plead, "I need more time."

A wall clock, slowly ticking on the side table
A ceiling fan, hurling with the lowest speed setting
A sudden breeze, rushing in through the windows
tiny LED lights, like ghosts illuminating in the pitch black night
All these sounds, stirring in the air
The screeching of cars outside
And rustling of nearby trees
A heart thumping, calm, inside a body on the bed
Sudden thoughts, saddening and exciting
The duality of the melancholic mind
A face looking up, staring at nothing but darkness, thinking
"Will I see the morning?"

"Because with you I am all,
and alone I'm without."

How dare you.
How dare you steal my heart.
How dare you steal my sleep.
How dare you invade my dreams.
How dare your cloud my thoughts.
How dare you let me fall in love with you.
I am NOT in love.

I'm not in the mood to write a poem
I'd rather look at you, I'd rather read you
Your body is poetry!* I can't challenge that
I'd rather not break my darling gaze
You are the most beautiful poem yourself
