Talking Back
To live is to breathe
To not breathe is to die
And yet
With every inhale I hope that it's carries
The scent of you

Talking Back
You aren't my first
But I pray you're my last
Court me with these intentions
And maybe
We'll last

Talking Back
My biggest fear in life is that one day
You all will look at me
Noticing all my flaws
That reside within

You'll point them out
Just as I do
And when your judgement is done
You'll forget about me

When really the one passing the heaviest verdict of all
Is me.

Talking Back
Do you smile at your phone
Like I do
When your name,
My name
Appears on my screen
Your screen?
TL Chesterton Sep 2019
Bring forth the rite of war!
Rage on, bully, bully!
For forth we ride, on a steed called Heart,
Into the gnashing of teeth between competing lovers.
Your attention, my own, I wish it to be,
Never to let this happen again.
TL Chesterton Sep 2019
Is this a battle for your heart,
Akin to Helen's heart for Troy?
A war for your love?
What may he fight for, what shall he win?
I shall fight like a soldier of antiquity,
Like a Greecian God amongst Peloponnesian hordes,
For the spot in your heart called
Your one and only.
