She was the type of girl that read books no one had assigned to her
She refused to take the sidewalk if the quickest path went through the grass
Her eyes were the color of mud saturated with rain from the night before
I loved her and that was the biggest mistake I'd ever make

This isn't a poem about how girls are evil
or how the world is rigged
it's just that when I saw you I believed in love at first sight
and maybe that was wrong of me

Test of Strength

If you fell out of love with me,
Would you be brave enough, strong enough,
To look me in the eyes
And tell me that you no longer felt the same way?
Would you be able to stomach my immediate panic,
My hysteria,
My desperation as I beg you to tell me that you're joking
Would you be able to look me in the face
And feel nothing but sympathy
As I completely crumble before you?

I Love You

If I could go back
To the day that we met
You know what I would do

I'd still say hey
Tell you my name
Then say that I love you

Why take up the years
It took to get here
To come up with that truth

Now that I've thought it out
Beyond a shadow of doubt
That's exactly what I would do

The day I said hey
And told you my name
I would tell you that I love you

contemplation #3

I was fine.
I was doing great.
Work was challenging in a fun way.
Friends were annoying in a hilarious way.
Movies changed how I saw the world.
Books changed how I saw myself.
Music changed how I saw everything.
And it was wonderful.
Life was wonderful
In a beautiful inexplicable way.
And then the world stopped
Turning.
Time stopped running.
And I lost my way.
What happened?
You.
You and your beautiful disaster.
And even though everything has changed,
And my heart lies broken in my hands,
I can't help having this phantom feeling
That when I finally put all the pieces
Back together,
My heart will be better off for having
Loved and Lost.
