#overzealous
You were overzealous, had me concealed. You tried to care, you thought you were my shield. You created this storm-cloud, Always angry and loud. You were hazardous, too weak to be healed.

A Toxic Affair
A sunny afternoon blocked by shade Made brighter by the wind, whisking everything away Though bits and pieces still- What’s new? There always will The sun seems so far off But the moon is green in envy Who else could compare to the beams of beauty? Because even after setting, making all those stares so jealous The sun will rise again, always so overzealous

Overzealous
i am overzealous and underwhelming. i say somethings and i regret them. i say nothings and i wish i hadn't. i am weighted and unbalanced. i place value where i think it belongs. i lean heavy into things for too long. i am uncertain and so sure. i run out of thoughts before my heart runs out of feelings. my thoughts run over and overwhelm my heart. i am liminal and concrete. im incomplete but hoping i could be.

i am underwhelming
When the sun is high And sweat rolls down your neck And you bite into a chilled tangerine And you feel it in your cheeks And I think of When you're across a room looking When you smile When I feel it in my cheeks When the storm rolls in And you find a book And you sit still And drown yourself in it And I think of When you kiss me half-asleep When your limbs lie limp on me When I drown myself in it
