I thought you'd love me by now
You'd trick me into wearing a ring
Fidget with my fingers while I
Studied the specs in your eyes
I know, I know, I know,
There could still be time but
I grow, I grow, I grow
In numbers and I'm used to this life
Where I occupy the bed alone
Blackout the reach of the sunrise
I don't even know if I believe anymore
That you're out there dreaming
Waiting for fate to guide us
To cross paths a few times
I guess if not in this life
I'll have you in the next one
If there is a next one

you don't exist when
my eyes are open
you don't exist when
my blood's not poisoned
when my soul's at peace
when my gut is full
and when I'm in company

So you exist most of the time

How to become a poet:
Let someone rip your soul apart.
And in the need of mending ,
You will replace it with words.

Sometimes, the words don’t come.

The consistent stream of consciousness, ceases.

I am left with nothing to say.

There is a beauty in the broken mind.

Like an abandoned building taken by nature.

It is not that my mind does not work.

It is that it works too fast,

And I am left behind,

Scrabbling in the dust,

Desperately seeking a connection,

In the discarded fragments of thought.

I am fighting a losing battle.

I fear the white flag will soon arise.

And signal the end.

She sits in her chair
She sips her hot tea
She looks out the window
She longs to be free.

She could open that door
But her hand quivers so
She’s scared of the life
That she doesn’t well know.

So she sips and she sits
And she looks on the street
And wonders and worries
About the people she’d meet.

One day the door opens
She could go out and see
But she sips and she sits
Yet she longs to be free.
