I loved you the moment we met Your imperfections made me forget about my glaring flaws that you never saw and still have chose not to see yet

Your imperfections are perfect
Crisp citrus sheets Two pairs of feet Butterfly kisses and whispers sweet Rose petal streams Golden moon beams Butterfly wishes come true in dreams

Butterfly Wishes
She muttered words nobody would ever hear Her cubicle scarred her for life Putting staples in the stapler was the final straw The monotony of it was stifling She left Nobody ever noticed Now she lives deep in the woods among giant trees that speak to birds She's got not much use for words She hacks down the dead ones so new life can grow She's the world's best woodcutter Far superior to any other But nobody will ever know

Mandy's life
I will reach for a moment I will crouch for a dream I believe in almost nothing But I'll give you all of me I won't forsake you I won't allow you to live in vain I want to believe in everything But I need you to do the same

Forsaken
God you're a dolt You just blather on about stuff you know nothing about Think you're the boss, when you're really a tool Convinced you're a genius, but the world knows you're a fool You preach from the sewers and think you're supreme But you're truly just a narcissist who's insecure and mean So happy you're gone Hopefully we're not as dumb as before Cuz I'm pretty certain we'll be seeing you in 2024

Follow Through
Please let me out of this Jack in the box My spring is tightly wound So kindly grab the lever and just spin it around Soon I'll pop up sprightly but surely with a frown Then I'll gasp for some fresh air before you stuff me way back down

DOA
Can I chop off your head so I can pick your brain? You look kind of inspired and somewhat sane Perhaps you have something clever to say? An original metaphor that isn't cliche Some snappy line that ropes people in And gets them to scroll all the way to the end? If you're reading this, we must have succeeded Sorry everyone for feeling cheated

My poor muse
Toss out some bologna and see if it sticks Throw time at the wall and see if it ticks ***** onto paper to see how it reads Cut yourself with a stapler and let the words bleed Spit on the canvas and smear it around Build up your masterpiece, then burn it down Leave your fingerprints in color Don't live black and white There's a million ways to create There's no wrong way to write

I jumped ship long ago Sorry you were the last to know It's seriously not you, it's me You're rolling your eyes, that old line, I see But this time it's true, it's really not you I think that I'm shattered and have run out of glue Not sure if I can feel anymore I'm always so numb Pretty sure scar tissue's what my heart's become I'm sorry I can't give the love you feel I'm sorry I can't feel the love you give I'm sorry about my serious love deficiencies And my unwillingness to live

Stand me up Sit me down Show me who's the boss Wind me up Wipe me down Nail me to a cross Rip me up Burn me down We both know it's no loss

I realize I don't have many prerequisites for love Devotion, truth, transparency? None of the above Turns out I'm pathetic as a human being can be I promise to love you if you promise to love me

Low standards
It's true I don't believe in God Can't say I ever did It's something that I never questioned, even as a kid But Santa Claus, now he is real or at least he used to be I don't miss God, but I miss the guy who left presents under the tree

A tisket or casket Got a question May I ask it? What exactly is a tisket? It sounds kinda fun Should I risk it? Out of the two options I would pick it

Tisket
Cheer up Look up Everything will be okay Life's a gift A silly game Everyone loves to play Stop worrying Don't fret It'll all make sense Be positive Stay open Let down your defense Just do it Get motivated Get your *** out of bed Have some coffee Watch the news Get out of your head Keep trying Never quit Nothing's easy Don't you know? You got to want it It's in your hands This is your only show

Words haiku
He loves her so much more than she loves him It's terrifying He's vulnerable now Stripped to the bone He's never felt this alone She looks at him with apathy His heart gets yanked around He'd do anything to make her happy But she's always looking down Can't look him square in the eye Can't set him free, even if she tried He's so vulnerable now Immersed in her hair, her scent, her eyes She can never set him free Even if she tries

Vulnerable
I try to write from different perspectives Think outside of my box and be more objective Give every style of writing a chance Be open to learning an alien dance I appreciate effort and creativity Even if it's subjects that for me don't come easily I try to write and read from different perspectives But one thing remains constant I feel rejected

Everybody loves a love poem But does anyone really have love? To be a writer's to be alone We just write about what we dream of

Everyone always asks, how'd he do it? A rope, a gun, a knife? I always give them the same answer His true cause of death was life

Cause of death
Last I night I slept on your ceiling It was the most ghastly feeling to be looking down and watch you roll around with some other human being Now when I'm in my own bed I look up and see you instead But I know you'd never sleep on my ceiling
