i tried
my best
to love
you and
ask for
nothing
in return.

and pans

tea; never
made.
the plants
were slowly
dying.

Afraid of drowning, you polluted my waters
in hopes of dampening my devine super powers

Look at the life line
Of an hundred year old;
And despair. Deeply.
Then look at your children.
Deeper than deeply.
It's not getting better.

are we anywhere
a figment of our own mind
we'll see yes we'll see

Lopsided look
On maizy trail
Rich with sunlight.
How he wished
He didn't scare away
The songbirds.

The whiny heart
That's usually on my sleeve
Has gone into hiding.
I keep it in a safe,
Underground,
In the very bottom of my stomach.
It will soon go into witness protection,
After providing insight
In the trial prosecuting my feelings for you.
I keep it safe from you,
From your ignorance, from your insensitivity,
But most of all, from the possibility that
You might just agree with me.
And I will grieve.
And It will hurt.
