Listen to me now
I may say same words tomorrow
But not in the same way
Listen to them now
The cadence
The flow
Listen to them now
Their rhyming deep and low
Listen to my words
Beating deeper
Deeper
forever slow

if overthinking was a game
i'd put all my chips in
and i wouldn't be bluffing

i'd use the money on a xanax overdose

i call myself a poet
but i've deceived them all
i'm really just sad
and waiting for you to call

not a poem

Life is the burden of memory,
Forgetting is a gift of peace.

one day
I dream that I will have the eyes to
see the love that is right in front of me,
the spine to go and grab it,
and the heart to appreciate it for what it is

one day
I dream that I will have the courage to use my fear
instead of the other way around,
the intelligence to make my future bright,
and the imagination to not stop dreaming big

love is sweet,
love can ****

love is poisonous,
love can heal

love is
dangerously
astounding

love can
make you
in sane
or insane

we rely on a future
that isn't there,
a past that too
loud
we cling to ourselves
like there is no one else
around
This was written on December 6th, 2019 BEFORE covid which just proves the irony that tomorrow is never promised.

Love is not blind,
but he who did not see your worth.

Dissimilar likeness
A cheating reflection
Two things that are both shadows and objects to each other
Past unknown then present oneness and immutability
Out of a crowd of millions
