I Say

"it's all okay", I say

"it's all just an act"*, I say

sorry about the typo!

Amber Hair

I can't stop finding
Her amber hair everywhere-
She's been gone years now.

piece. by. piece.

i take my time and build things up

like legos, i pile them up

piece

by

piece

but she doesn't.

she rushes each movement

piece
by
piece

she got to where i wanted to be before me

now i get to watch it all unfold

on top of the useless pile i made

she won you.

I have no friends - I have no wife;
An ogre in a bog.
I have no love - I have no life;
But ****** I've got a dog.

Emily

I want this

I'm trying to compensate
For the void in my mind
With other people
With other pastimes

Nothing is very satisfying
Especially after I've crossed the line
Now I really wish
That I could just rewind

I wouldn't take advantage
Of the moments we shared
The long nights together
When our eyes would stare

Into each other
I could see your soul
Now I am empty
With nowhere to go

I wish I hadn't given up
I wish I gave us a better chance
Everything seems ruined now
Slim odds of romance

I don't think we can come back
Not from this damage
It's all my fault, I've done it to us
It was too hard to manage

I'm sorry for how I've treated you
Nothing can take back the things I've said
I'm sorry for how I gave up on you
Nothing can take back the things I did

Despite my tragic flaws
You still treat me as if I'm the best
You love me unconditionally
Every day I am blessed

What did I ever do to deserve you
I ask myself why I don't try harder
Why I'm not on my knees begging
Why didn't I act smarter

All these questions
Swimming in my head
I know I want this to last
To clean up all I've bled

this is why i stopped reading books.

i thought i could read people

                                                     i thought i read them pretty well

i thought i got the hang of expressions
and emotions
underlying messages
and awkward gazes.

i assumed i was always right
                                                                   how could i be wrong?

but i read you wrong

                                                    i messed up pretty bad.

                                     and i don't think i can fix this one
                                             with a story book ending

we're doomed
and unfixable

                                                                         maybe i'll see you in a squeal?

this is all over the place
