good morning

today is shaky
by that,
I mean I am

First Date Jitters

lingering fingers
drifting eyes
parting away
from some
run down town
and into this diner
our fate awaits

c.

astonishingly
nervous
for lips tasting
of cheap wine

do i scare you?

you touch me like
the slightest misstep, could
break me

is this
tenderness, or
fear?

Taking an Exam

You realize,
You have 2 more questions.
Your fingers are shaking,
As you click on those last few answers.
You are sweating like crazy,
Sweatshirt sleeves rolled up.
You click submit,
Trembling, you click view score.
You wait, and wait,
For the slow computer to load.
You take a quick glance at your score,
And you breathe a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness it’s over.

Pushing through midterm exam week.

comfortable

when things seem too good to be true
life screams, "don't get too comfortable," at me
it echoes
i'm reminded again and again
an endless loop
you can never get too comfortable.
the screams of life get quieter here and there
but they're always there
reminding you when you need to hear it,
"don't get too comfortable."

The Wait For Forgiveness

The apology
Was quite easy
I poured my heart out
Checked and realized my flaws
My thoughts were only of myself
But the wait
For your sweet forgiveness
It is sheer agony
A frail soul as I
Can bear the guilt no longer

When I was afraid
I spoke out to you
Then why do you abandon me so?
In a dark whirlwind of despair
Terror
Confusion
Such pain of the unknown
Just say it already!
Lift me out of the frying pan
And toss me to the raging flames
So after my flesh has melted away
I will receive my rest

Right in Front of me

The sky is dark and full of stars
The same stars you love
The same stars we loved

But soon the sun will rise
And darkness will die
And there you will be
Right in front of me

I'm not ready for morning to come. Time to face the facts though.
