#yuck
Don’t yuck my yum
Don’t block my sun
Don’t just rot away
Take the chance to become
a complex and invested individual
to embody the power of an arrow
Don’t yuck my yum
Don’t front your love
Don’t just walk away
Take the dance to become
undone and unburdened individual
to exhibit the speed of an arrow

I'm not very picky, unless faced with:
Icky, sticky, pumpkin!
Oh! How I glower!
When faced with that sour,
Slimy, stringy, slush!
So I groan,
And I moan,
Then I run.
My arms flailing!
My feet, slap, slap, slapping,
The cold, hard, floor.
'Till a hand grasps my shoulder,
And I'm dragged to the table..
Then, I'm pushed into a chair,
And a spoons pushed into my hand,
And that foul mush, is pushed into the spoon.
That is forced down, down, down,
My gagging, unwilling, throat.

there is a light in your eyes,
a spark i once knew well.
may it never go out.
may your fire only grow,
may it keep you warm
through the winter.
how could i ever trust a stranger?
i don't know,
but
how could i ever look away?
i don't know.

You say art is alive,
and yet here we are.
Perfectly sculpted,
sure.
Precisely detailed,
of course.
Objects all the same.
Don't you see us looking back?
Gazing into me,
What do you see?
Concepts,
ideas,
philosophies,
reflections.
Reflections.
That's it.
Isn't it?
Wanting me to want you;
needing me to need you.
Holding your hand,
no matter how heavy it gets.
It's tiring,
reminding you what you already know.
Existing for more than your pleasure,
being more than a mirror,
just.. being.
I think it's enough.
No.
I know that it is.
Doubt only creeps in
when you look at me.
I am human.
I am a universe of my own.
When I feel your stare,
why can't you feel mine?
Have you already forgotten?
Your pupils are no blacker than mine,
no less of a lens to see myself in.
Don't you see us looking back!
Every time your eyes meet mine,
I see you.
I simply see you.
It isn't difficult,
nor should it be.
You were right.
Art is alive,
and I am no exception.

I’d forgotten
Or discovered
Your eyes like faded denim
The smile you’d try to hide
The way you like to tease me
Can’t make you laugh although I try
Like laying in fields of lilac,
tour Tassie attached to my hip.
I rang you like religion
Just to tell you about the trip
there are hard days, they are long ones
I bare just to hear your voice
When my head is filled with static
You’re cutting out the noise
Laying in a dingy tent,
staring at the Milky Way
You told me how you felt for them
the honesty cast fears away
We went to two different festivals
one day after the next
It felt like we were both there
But watching different sets
To wake up to you in winter
Samson whines me back to sleep
The mattress is barren without you both
But The bed’s too warm too leave
You send your love in lettered form
Like medicine in mail
and though the sentiment is old
I found relevance today
Sometimes I fret that you don’t care
How foolish and ambivalent
Sometimes I need reminders of
why I loved you to begin with

There's this corner in the living room I hate
It's gonna hurt me
I will get sick from it
It's got bugs
It's darker as it gets lower into the tip of the corner
I feel like it has eyes sometimes
I don't wanna look at it
It looks at me when I sleep
I don't wanna move my pillow to that side ever
It could be a giant black oozing monster
I'm afraid I smell it
I don't wanna touch it
It's gonna hurt me
Yet I still sleep with my bed in that corner

The cake burned in the oven
The fridge broke down as well
The plumbing broke
& soaked the floor
This was the day from hell.
So much for cake & ice cream
So much for mopping up
I'm telling you, I have the flu
This day has been a flop!
Not gonna call a plumber
You know how $$$ goes
This happened on a Sunday
That's spendy doncha know!
I've HAIR that hurts, my buddy
I've such and aching head!
Is it a sin to just turn in?
*I'll spend the day in bed!*.

In the in-between stage where there is just enough alcohol in my veins to try and convince me that what we had was good.
The sweet spot.
Too little or too much and all I see is the problems and why it ended in goodbye,
but here-
here I see “hey princess”-
all the “I love yous”
“I’d do anything for you”
“You’re worth it, no matter the cost”
and I know in an hour or two I’ll be thinking clearly again-
but **** right now-
I know why I stayed for so long.

dracula likes to ****
Tom Brady likes to tuck
Twain writes about Huck
Irish all about that luck
hard to find this gem of a poem through the muck
when they tell you at a hockey game to duck
it's most likely a flying puck

He swore to ignore every odd-ball notion that came awkwardly knocking at his door.
Irregular patterns tap-hapata-ladding like some kind of fiend desperate for human interaction.
"It's just a lump of useless tissue with issues I'll never be able to correct." - That's what the cardiologist thought as he had a heart attack.

When I'm with you
I'm never blue
When you're around all my problems fade
Every color becomes a brighter shade
You're in my head with every love song that comes on
You're the "Hidden meaning" behind everything I've drawn
Every single time you hold my hand
My heart pounds like a brass band
The very first time that we kissed
I thought nothing better on Earth could exist
Every time that we awkwardly hug
I feel like your arms are an addictive drug
When I text you all I get are butterflies
My mind plastered with your blue eyes
Your laugh is the beat of my heart
Your existence is a work of art
The only way I would say "I do"
Is if you're the one saying it too

now i don't even try
and say hi
if theres a person i don't know in the room
such a drastic difference
from how i was a few months ago
i hate this
i have so much anger
but i feel so dry and i don't have the energy to express it
i think my eyes are just welling from tiredness
**** this **** hole that i used to love so much
my room feels like a pig pen
and my sheets don't feel clean even when i wash them
people irritate me beyond words sometimes
but mostly im so mad at myself
for being so content with laziness, cowardice
everything moves so slowly
and i get dragged along each day
im scraped up like my knees
**** i need a band aid

"Oh ****
Is what I said when I realized I was in love with you.
I mean we both knew I liked you.
But I wasn't even supposed to be doing that.
We would carelessly flirt, with your girlfriend around the corner.
Except now it wasn't careless.
At least not for me.
See that was the problem.
(Other than the girlfriend)
I knew you weren't in love with me.
****
Is what I said after we kissed the third time.
See, you still had the girlfriend.
I knew her; nice girl.
**** you."
Is what you said to me after it all.
Well, you didn't actually say that.
But I imagine if we actually talked to each other that's what you'd say.
You always did like swearing.
I guess it does make it much easier to express your feelings.

Leave me alone please
I can't handle
Any more of
This broken record
Of your voice
Playing in my head
You have stained
My thoughts
And my words
I want you out
But I also want you back

As the Earth rotates along it’s axis at a million
Million miles an hour, no one on Earth can feel the speed.
Yet while everyone shuffles past us, I’m moving at a
Billion trillion miles an hour and I love every moment.
At a time devoid of laughter, you make my sides just rip apart,
And you’ve put your hands upon and warmed my cold and frosty heart.
Your voice, I wish, it could be played in my head again and again
But it can’t, so I’ll just wait ‘til I call you again.
I need you to kiss me, because my lips hurt from falling
Head over heels.
All these feels, **** all these feels.
Tell me, baby, is this really real?
I don’t have much time left and I just can’t sit by and let
Life pass me by, so then why when a long-lost love comes around
Do I sit here and try to convince myself just
To tell her.
**** man, don’t just try and compel her.
Don’t impress or act fake, don’t be something you’re not,
Ask “What Would Will Do?” and then give it a shot,
So I tell her that I have longed for her kiss and her
Hands interlocked within mine makes me grin
Like a ******* a fool, but I don’t care because
She is mine.
She is fine.
Now I put my heart out on the line.
Here I go, no tip-toes, I run straight, don’t look back,
The pulse in my chest feels like a heart attack,
But I calm down and smile when I realize it’s just
How she makes me feel.
My heart and my brain, now on the same page
For the first time, yes, it’s a shock.
People always gave me compliments and told me I was funny,
But I never thought that it would be enough to please you, honey,
So I walked away and sighed and didn’t want to go,
And so now, the water’s won’t be tested with a toe.
I’m diving headfirst, into picnics and dates and
Candy cane kisses at way-past-too-late,
And coffee breath pillow talk, but we just don’t care…
God, do I wish I could just smell her hair.
Of all the inhabitants of this small world,
I just can’t believe that I found you.
Got so lucky to just stick around you.
Music’s our blood and the roads are sheet music
So let’s write our own silly love song.
With your smile, I simply can’t go wrong.
Can we dance in gazebos and see that, these, and then those,
And whatever may come in between.
On top of the world, Titanic-sized love,
Except we don’t hit icebergs, we climb them.

"Am I crazy or falling in love,
Is it real or just another crush?"
I've never felt this way before
The nervous feeling I get when I talk to you
I cant help but smile though
When I'm with you I just feel so
Why did I fall so hard
I didnt see it coming
Developed the feelings and I started running
I tried to put up a fight
I lost every time, but I held on tight
I'm just sitting here, being helpless
Tossing and turning at night, feeling so restless
Thinking that if you only knew how much I cared about you
Would it make a difference or would I lose?
No matter what I'll always be here, it's true
In rain or shine just call me, because I care about you
Never mind the feelings and the empty promises,
I'll give my heart and I got your back, it's common sense
Never have I loved anyone as selfless as I loved you
But I know it isn't meant to be no matter what I do
So I'll just sit here and wait for my feelings to be gone
And be the willing friend you need and you can call on.

I’m feeling a little sunken,
Lurking here at the bottom of the
Ocean wallowing here in my
Muddy slime-filled pit.
Feeling rather lumpen,
Stodgy, awkwardly unblended, I remind myself
Of things unstirred, of things
That cause the upper lip to rise above the teeth.
I have formed a second skin, like congealing coffee,
Overheated, I am clammy, and I wish to shed.
Scrub me, I am just dead skin,
I am something to slough off, discard, and rinse.
