LL 5h
I always liked storms
so I chased after you
I searched for its eye
and found it was dark

But there's light sleeping inside
I knew it when it exploded in my eyes

My poems dreamed of you, J.
LL 6h
don't ask me to stop
when tears are all I can give
I go back to sleep
LL 6h
let's not skip the part
where I confess and go straight
go straight to heartbreak
LL 9h
flowers and dried leaves
these gravestones neatly aligned
just like office desks
and cars stuck in traffic jams
and spreadsheets with empty cells
LL 4d
lights on or lights off
does it really matter, when
either way we'll smash
LL 4d
I step to my right
approaching girl hesitates
she steps to her left
LL 4d
love can
sometimes
be like a
chain-smoker
with asthma
Smoking kills.
