I wear a
mask
when I'm with
you,

I can't help
how
you make me
hide.

Love is like taxis
They're everywhere when you don't need it
But nowhere to be found when you do

Day
"Don't be Day, she acts like the devil." to my sis,
but, I have never felt Satan's dark and humid kiss.
Only to myself, have I attempted to be true.
So, a message to little sister , "Please, just be you."
I need to be writing. Time slips by me, but I am trying to scoop it up again. Re-finding the things that drive me to be alive is truly a neverending adventure.

Few seconds
Of electrifying kiss
Encapsulated in your Arms
What a beautiful moment
Our sweet memories
I always miss

Love grows cold
Like a forgotten cup of coffee
On the dining room table.
The steam dissipates;
Trailing into nothingness.
Leaving behind the bitter taste
Of lukewarm commitment.
Your touch was dangerous,
entrancing but not exaspirating,
fingers that felt like
a velvet guillotine.

I soon, unexpectedly
got cut.

The guillotine disguised
as velvet
had pierced my heart.

it took me forever to realize
that the darkness
is fine

just not
all the time.
