oh sweet agony,
cover me in darkness
and feed my despair.

your single-mindedness
numbs my wretched life
and amplifies the longing.

lead me away
to beautiful places
and unfulfilled dreams.

you are the gateway
for my soul.
Aaron E Sep 2019
So many words.
Which to choose.
Amplify.
Execute.

Which to use.

Validate.

Embolize.

Constitute.

Simple smooth ambivalence

Relative.

Dissonant.

Hellenistic rhetoric.

Romulas.

Immanence.
Hannah Mar 2015

Alone on a balcony
The stars are out tonight
Both in the sky, and in our eyes
Do you see them too?

Finally the words come out
'It looks really nice'
Subtle, but appreciated
My heart pounds, but I respond

'Yeah'
We could stand there forever
Get lost in each other's souls
Truth hits me, I am a fool

'We should go back now'
Barely a minute, and it's over
Heart
            drops
That was the end of it, our moment?

No, no, no
All I did was amplify, exaggerate
Feelings for me are naught
Nothing, just as I thought

*Nothing.
so the other night I was on a balcony with my ex-crush (we went to get something and were going to walk back) and it was such a beautiful cliche romantic moment that I almost fell back into it ha ha ha halp but nah, I'm sure we all amplify these small moments into big ones right?

— The End —
