#mutual
Catching through cars and corners, his coincidence the darkest hour. From coffee cups to storefront shows, he follows—door to door. It’s not only his obsession; this passion is mutual: photos spool like thread, a network lit by the smile she ignited. Right angles mapped by her too— he calls it stalking; she steps closer, her whisper burning at his ear: “Never drop it.” His smirk returns.

Velvet obsession 💜
i don’t want us to be anything. but sometimes i wonder if i crossed your mind the way you drift through mine. why else would you give me your plushie crocodile — just in case i miss you while you’re away? we’ve been spending so much time together. you keep finding ways back into my head. we’re not going to be a thing. you told me. i told you. we shouldn’t work. but baby — we do.

terms and conditions.
Alas a final touch! Its strange laying for hours waiting for solitude, for your exit.  Of course the time has been reveled in and oh the apprize! But somehow I disesteem your warm arm over me. It can be so hard. Always hard to really love when you just want to be alone. Its so hard to be alone at night and the wind is blowing or the snow is gathering on the outside of your sill. It can be hard. Although I like you here, I find pleasure in your goings a while after your comings. It can be so hard to love.

It is so hard to love
Self love is not love but anti-love Parts are but to be mutually fitted And imperfections only seeming Ceasing to be in the perfected whole But is not if any part seeks its own

Self Love
I smiled And you smiled back At times We laughed hard As Usual But hope this feeling is mutual We chatted Like we used to Seem acted You're in the movie too Unusual But hope this feeling is mutual You speak With your eyes in silence While I breath Yet my heart is quiet Unfactual But hope this feeling is mutual You loved In privy I love to be loved More lively To be factual Hoping this feeling is mutual

Mutually Unusual
Let me borrow your ear I need to clear This up for a minute By far Everybody is scarred But no one wants to hear it They wanna believe A spirit can be wise And pure Unweathered When in actuality You and me Barely keep it together I’m a fretter I’m anxious Brimmed cup of anxiety And it took a lot of patience And mistake To create me And I come in different shapes And colors A variety To the point I have to wonder If I compose society? Do you feel it The heartbreak Due to the overwhelming pressure A feather Dancing on an flame Trying to pull it together I better be better Cause a better better is coming Across my way And I am less than adequate A bruised peach They will not taste A waste A want As we all lay ever starvin’ I’m pulling punches ‘Cause of time crunches I’m reminiscent of Marvin In the way That each day I wonder exactly what is going on And something something else I’m too stressed to remember the song Dear lover Dear dreamer Dear whoever you are Love beyond the frayed bonds And see all of us Scarred I hope you love with love to spare And that you spare some for me Stop looking to be perfect Because you’ll be very Very Very Lonely

Scarred
God came in three - they set aside time and space  for collaborative creativity God came in three and in that 'us', 'our' and 'we' metaphored an identity of mutuality  God came in three advocating once and for all a celebration of plurality God came in three illustrating that all families are a godly thingamy God came in three inviting you and you and me to join them together for eternity

Three
When it’s real you can feel it, like hard raindrops spanking your skin. You lay back in your comfortable resting spot, and cover yourself with their spirit alive. You take a deep breath, because it feels so good; inhaling mutual passion that’s well understood. They shine bright like northern lights, intensity growing stronger than the highest fahrenheit. They have your heart buried in their soul; you dig deep within and lose gentle control. Pure essence exudes from their eyes, you feel their fear of uncertainty, you sense the pain of their broken past and pray to God this is built to last. Eyes that see a special connection, two hearts growing stronger in some special direction. The embrace you shared can still be felt, the look, the stare, the deep embrace, the heat that impedes your personal space. No need for kisses (not just yet); but then again, you both have needs that are destined to be met. When it’s real you see inside their soul, wanting to hold them close and not let go. Who are you kidding, the connection is there; when it’s real you can feel it everywhere! Hands that touch, eyes that see, a heart pumping love blood abundantly. A sense of completion because this is real, we both feel the desire of this *** appeal.

When It's Real You Can Feel It
Am I fool? Its not like Im inlove? So what is this **** feeling? Feels soft and intimate, as if Im knowingly opening up my soul sharing my emotions showing how I feel I feel bare. i want to restart. ready to retreat. did I kiss too soon? Am I still in this pattern? my feelings have changed but I'm still feeling weary I'm still learning of my self, but something about this does not necessarily feel wrong. are we jumping too quick? jump the gun on this ship. I heard you so clear. Your words soft and sharp all at the same time. Eyes full. "I like you and it wasn't a dumb question" I just... no response. Kiss instead. What I know my body can do instead of using my tools. Afraid to speak to soon.

c.h.s (free write... just letting go)
"i'm sorry. i don't feel the same way." i just smile and nod my head "i know." i was not made for you, darling nor you for me we are nothing more or less than trains on a highway, speeding in different directions, brushing each other just for a moment you left your handprint on my heart and i will cherish it as i make room for new lovers i will never stop wanting to hold you but little by little, it will start to hurt less.

an (actually) mutual breakup
My tepid fears take my soul, Fearing my existence Just as I feared them. A mutual bond Of predator and prey, But now we’re both prey.

Mutuality
I understand Love to be the appreciation of What you can give. No, love is love for the sake of love. But I see nothing innocent, just pure. “I appreciate you for the way you make me feel” A.k.A “I appreciate you for what you give to me” A.K.A “I love you.” Sure it’s a little sweet but It’s the only time you don’t mind being Positively manipulated, Positively used. And you balance the scales with: “I love you too”. I feed off of you, As you feed off of me, And we’ll call this relationship ‘healthy’ And here we are. Bound by a verbal contract, Constantly in contact. And I am stuck in your orbit oblivious as To where I am headed. I don’t understand this. I look for the exit, Because you are hungry, And I am poor.

unused line #1
Baptized in the framework, emboldened dregs, stolen legs, having the will enabled, will stoke flares. Hope there's enough left, to capitalize and trademark, Mark. These machination metaphorics may get way dark. Witness the churn, turn barrel, pour fuel. Envision thrift in the burn. Unequivocal innocents in the thick of it learn, gun metal, flower petal. Power is sick of our tone. They play their tricks on our young, to build a system above. We killed the sadness fit to galvanize a truthful spirit, loose beneath the masses. lifted powder keg, rug and broom, others soon to be suiting fashion Buried in a priory cast. Wire he tapped, isn't the first, was a fiery blast. I heard the ground stir, out turned choirs of wrath. Give baron bread, give miner shaft, and all the pigs just laughed. All the swine surrounded, founded "Freedom". Heavy quotes aligned to, "leave em lying". We declined to deify, redefine our civil vision . Twisted lips and sirens, rent, systems turn, climate, worth, time to learn to hear and listen, kids,  earth, diet. 'On the list I promise'. Truth can't hurt if you stay quiet. Truth in earnest moves the strongest. Our seeds to earth are truth in kindness. Grow.

Two person
It's a cliche, the way past lovers always come back around as if it's written on my skin that I tend to forgive more freely than I should as though they are checking in just to see if I'm still waiting hours, days, months spent shoving their name down my throat to convince myself the ending was mutual and then one day, long after the waiting turned into progressing they have the audacity to ask if I'm still anticipating their realization that they 'loved me all along' to ask if I still want them, because suddenly they feel alone suddenly they need me but I am taking every step in the opposite direction of you I am worth more than a second-thought, than the regret you feel from walking away

past lovers letter
hey mutual, how are you doing today? glad you got away from the abuse he gave, and the mean words he said. mutual, I remember you, defending the bruises and the scars he left, they were all blue. mutual, you were in love with the idea of being loved, you weren't in love, with the idea of getting hurt. mutual, we're no longer mutuals, you're no longer mutuals with him too, and that's okay. I'm glad that help is on its way.

They meet often Sometimes to talk Often silent To exist together In their own When silence is mutual More comforting Becomes an emblem Of a great relationship.

Some people are flowers, meant to be loved from afar. They shouldn't be plucked, just to die between your fingers.

Today marks the day we met Total strangers, thats our first fleet Until partners, can that be planned and set? Illusion as it might appear Imagination, as what we’d like to appeal But can that be changed if we start to reveal? I may have my own world And you might have your own too Still, can it be merged to be good for two? 12 hours in travel gap 1 hour talk before we take our naps But for how long can we keep in touch? Yet, just in case it takes place Or it wont ever be, even in the 1st pace Just remember what Im about to state You’ll always be my favorite person Forever busy and tired, juggling work and life Yet sweet and funny, even green at times!

Illusion
I'd send you a text; a greeting. You'd reply; a greeting. We'd talk about a few things; small talk. We'd casually flirt and enjoy; affection. I'd revive the conversation; hopefulness. I'd try my best to keep it flowing; eagerness. We'd continue to an unmutual conversation; unhealthy. You'd neglect contributing to the conversation; careless. I'd restart the process daily; care. But, you'd never even try to start a conversation let alone try the process I've perfected; speechless.
