unheard-of
They say roses are red
and violets are blue
But what if I'm colour blind?

What if roses are blue
and violets are red

What if the grass is grey and the sun is black?

What If your love is fake?
You're a mistake.
But wait
Don't hesitate

To take your blue roses
and your red violets
with you

And give them to the next girl in line at the flower shop

Let's hope she's not colour blind too

If you asked if I accept you, even your flaws
I would say I do

If you asked if I love your laugh
I would say I do

If you asked if I need you always
I would say I do

If you asked if I love that you're mine
I would say I do

If you asked if I think you are beautiful
I would say I do

If you asked if I love having you by my side
I would say I do

If you asked if I trust you completely
I would say I do

If you asked if I love your good heart
I would say I do

If you asked if I feel like the luckiest person
I would say I do

If you asked if I love your personality
I would say I do

If you asked if I imagine me only with you
I would say I do

If you asked if I love being yours
I would say I do

If you asked if I feel crazy happy with you
I would say I do

If you asked if I love you most ardently
I would say I do

And because of all these things

If I asked you to marry me
I hope you would say I do

I’ve hated you for quite sometime
since you’ve been gone
playing staccatos into someone else’s heart.
And I blame you
because you left
and promised to stay in touch—
that’s why all of your replies are
disgusting slurs of
h’s and a’s.

But I never let myself forget
that I was a double-edged sword, once.
It was that afternoon when you were leaving
and you covered my lips and my cheeks with
stars
and wrapped my body in your
sunlight
and your eyes
burned
because you were unaware that
I didn't know how to accept happiness.
And I looked into your eyes and smiled—
I bet I looked like the devil
before he slashes your soul and
sends you to eternity—
and said, "this is silly".

You agreed;
so you covered my lips and cheeks with
thorns
and wrapped my body in your
twilight
and your eyes dimmed with embers and
ashes.
Apologies never came easy to me—I'm too proud.
But I'm sorry that I shattered everything and tried to piece it back together the last day we had.

A melodramatic
pirouette,  colliding
with the
garbage dumpster.  

Dreamt spiral,
*****.  

Toilet. Sink. Shower.  

A final heave,
the diaphragm groans
like a
broken accordion:
carnival
antiphon.

Confusion, so much confusion.
Can't remember what I've seen,
What I've heard, where I've been.
I don't know what I want,
I'm lost in this unfair world.
I'm tired, I'm lonely, I'm broken.
I cannot remember,
And I'm truly sorry...
But do not be angry with me,
For I'm frustrated enough.
It's a constant battle,
Everyday is growing more difficult.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What have I become?
I am nothing more than I liability,
A burden to all those whom I love.
I understand if you do not have the patience to care for me,
For who could love someone who cannot remember the simplest of life's tasks.
My memories are fading,
I'm living in limbo, in a constant fear of the future I know will come.
Because how can I face the future without the knowledge of my past?

i am going to look great
i am going to feel great
tonight
i'm going out
i got my best shoes on
just got them in
the mail
in a package
delivered from sister
and brother in law
saying hey
it's time for you to start practicing for that 5k
cuz it's in the next day
and you haven't started running
you're still smoking
and that race aint gonna race
without you
your heart
may take on a chase
from that ******* induced
in your veins
a few days
beforehand
how do you think you're going to do
when you're running and you gotta spew
before you even get to the finish line
but i'm going out tonight
looking sharp and feeling right
trying to put on my best face
and take a trip to a nice place
where the people all smile
and greet you
pretty women too
oh hey
nice to meet you
i really enjoy it
it's a part of my story
on whom ive grown to be
man with a plan
and a mask
a ****** weapon concealed
a killer with a smile
that man who took on the night
and drove it wild
some kind lady
may even have my child
anything can happen
whatever you dream up
so i'm getting on my best pair of sneakers
and gearing up
for the race
but first
it's tonight
and i don't have to work in the morning
