the heart of eyes in the hands of shyness
like a smile of radiance of a smile forever
breathe rainy dreams believing dreaming
the brightest loves lazy doves fluttering
mean what is broken in shudders of spoken
meant words and promises, down in the woods
all alone, together.

what letters we write
so easily
mr meaning
my feeling
my trust

words friendly
mean
obtuse morose obscure
confound

they echo smells
touch
promote sell the
next big thing
paint scenes.

Words obstinate
obscene
immature still
describe something.

The world revolves
in languages but words
are universally
renowned.

They call all of us
near, if on the tongue
of Shakespeare
raise hairs
on necks

from here to everywhere
if writers write
the quatrains quite
quiet, secure
hear
all that
a
word
is.

I could put millions of stars in the sky on a perfect July night and I'd still think of you as the view

I wouldn't mind to have all of my little-girl dreams crushed by your fingers that trace my skin so perfectly

If you are going to shine in this world,
it is essential to know:

You will cast shadows.

People will hate you for
the darkness,
instead of praising you
for clarity.

“We” are becoming a game

A game of Hide my feelings
And Seek your touch

A game of Memory
While you memorize my curves
I memorize the curves of your smile

A game of ring around the truth
and let the thought of being together fall right down
my cheek as I cry from your words of
Guess Who doesn't love you

“We” have become that Puzzle
With the pieces that all look the same
And I’m not sure if our pieces fit together

One of those puzzles with the pieces that look like they’ll fit
But you won’t know for sure till you finish
But you aren’t sure you want to try hard enough to find out

A game where you Chute me that look
And I start to climb the Ladder
Even though I know I’m gonna have to slide back down eventually

A game where I constantly think about the sweet Candy that is you
and Land right back into reality
Knowing you’ll never get the Clue
And I’ll be the one who is Sorry
Even though I should have known you were Trouble all along

I’m starting to learn that this is Life
And the War with myself isn’t worth it
It isn’t worth
feeling like the Paper
While you are the Scissors
when really we are both stuck under this Rock

We just keep calling for Red Rover
to send sanity right over our way
so we can finally figure out the Monopoly of
Forged seduction

I’ll just continue to Go Fishing for the words
to unlock our mystery
so we can finally Connect
our Four arms together

‘We” are becoming a game
Where we are constantly Tagging
each other to be the one to say It first

A game where feelings are Cooties
and we have to Circle our brains
to find the Spot
Where we find out if we even have a Shot

You’ll just keep making me Tick
While I try to find a way
to Tack a label
Toe how I feel

Until I realise this is just Child's Play

forget me.
if you're leaving then don't expect to
be welcomed back
whenever you decide you want me again.
i did everything i could.
i can't wait until you realize
that you miss having me there.
i can't wait for you to know
how it feels
to miss someone who
doesn't miss you.
i can't wait until you come back,
only to be pushed back out.
i can't wait until you feel
like i do.

Did you see me, Daddy?
Did you see me grow up?
No you didn't, you ****.
You were never there
to hold me when i cried.
You were never there
to tell me which guys were right.
Did you see me, Daddy?
Did you hear me screaming?
Did you notice when I
didn't come out of my bedroom
because of my broken heart?
No, you didn't, Daddy.
And don't pretend you wanted to.
i only call you Daddy
because I never got the chance to
grow up
with you.
