#outloud
We spoke of flowers and sunsets
[We spoke of] sunrises and cucumbers in the summer
We spoke of [garments and those under?]
We spoke of… [water? & (the?) unawares]
We spoke of candy & sugar & turnovers
We spoke of The Universe
We spoke of [the utmost] undermining & overwhelming [of things]
We spoke of the [most] instantaneous
Of guilty pleasures
And that Life takes time;
Most times…
And that while you wait—
You’re missing it;
Missing the point
The[/that?] point A to point B
Is the least of your worries
And it makes you wonder
Not the “whys” of it all,
But the particular ice-cream
Is God’s favourite.

From your lips
Poetry never sounded so good
Rolled off your tongue
And into the air
And I breathed it in
A high like no other
From just words

Write about what makes you happy
Write about what makes you sad
Write about everything you think of
Even if it makes you mad
Write about the good times
And write about the bad
Write about the days you were younger
And how it makes you laugh
Write about the things you wanted
Write about the things you had
Write about the the ones you loved
Write about the ones you wish you never had
Then read your book out loud when it’s all said and done
You realize that your life wasn’t that bad
And that someone out there still thinks you’re
Number One

I keep thinking out loud
Keep uploading to the cloud
And wondering, what its all about.

Sometimes I wonder if you'll end up hurting me emotionally like all the other's did before you
Maybe it will be silent but fast or be dragged out to the point where my heart is broken
I'm feeling like I'm in a daze that I never truly can escape from
Or someone else might take you away from me
Either way, just close my heart in a glass case and if worse comes to worse and you find yourself wanting to break it into bigger pieces than the ocean
Then take the last days of our love and make me feel loved and dare I say cherished one last time
But be sure to give me closure don't open the door and slam it in my face without telling me why
I beg of you please don't make me cry about how much I regret letting you into the point of no return
Don't make me associate your name with salty wet tears
And wishing I had never let you in

My hearts beats against my ribs in rage, screaming don't lock me up in this cage, I'm in too much pain. These tears are all the same they take no fault or anger for my emotional complaints. I'm not a devil nor a saint. You promised you'd one but you never came. I think out loud who's really to blame for making me beautiful in my pain.

He weeps his heart, and hangs his head,
He doubles back, and follows her back to bed,
She says, " Some homes are towns and lives, while others wear their homes inside." And he keeps up though he's kept out, the volatile, the sudden frown.
She makes up the cupcakes but they're never vegan are they? No they're never vegan are they?
He makes a gift, and wrings his thumbs, the bubble bath, the tepid tub,
Outside where the rains have gone long, something gives him something strong,
And he picks up where he had left off, the trouble is he doesn't know when to back off, and the cupcakes aren't vegan, sweet and such spectacular, but they really aren't eaten, now that they've been made with eggs. No the cupcakes aren't vegan, though they are quite delicious. And he loves her forever, though he never eats again. No he never eats again. No he never eats again.
