There was inspiration
to be found in the way
her words danced in the
back of my head on an
endless loop,
and weighed heavy on
my heart for days on end.
And once I discovered this feeling,
I realized there was nothing I wanted
more than to transform
the hearts around me,
just as she had done
with mine.

this poem was featured in this month's issue of Local Wolves Magazine, so I thought I'd share it with you guys.

I think everything starts of strong,
too strong. I think it began with the epiphanic violin solo, that breathed you aren't alone; even though, I feel so alone.
while we walked through the museums and I stood in front of Van Gogh's Irises and you said that I looked like I belonged there, I belonged everywhere. I think my love for you began to blossom on the nights in late May, in your car listening to Morrissey while you were smoking your favorite cigarette. I laid in the seat being ****** into eternal darkness. I constantly thought of Madisen Kuhn's words, while they lingered in my mind: “everything you’ve ever loved has been loved before, and everything you are has already been,”

She said that my love for you isn't organic, my love isn't unique- but I promise you it is, My love for you could never be expressed fully through words. So I will tell you this, I love you,
for who you are. I love your favorite cigarette, I love the irises we spent hours looking at, I love who I am with you- I feel real, I feel alive. You make me feel alive.

— The End —
