I had an epiphany in reverie

A time like that is when

You need to be quiet

Words will dilute it

Words screamed at me

There was so much meaning

That was the moment

When something was so special

That, if I dared describe it,

It would have vanished

The time when

Words were superfluous

But, oh, it was so special

I wish you knew it

i hate you for not liking me
for the way that you ignore me
subconsciously, i know i'm beat
you gaslight me so subtly

just know that i have had enough
you hit my limit, and i changed
i'm much too tough, like jerky in
the hands of teething babies

whatever is whatever
do you sense the carelessness?

honestly,
i feel powerless
like a meteorologist
who mispredicts
and makes a wish
to change the weather
to fix his predicament

he can't deal with it,
but i am different
i don't run away
from how i feel

acceptance of rejection's
my best option

i think you
think i'm rotten

i understand, and
i think that's valid
my mind deteriorates
like week-old salad

but give it some time
even if, right now,
you see no reason
to trust me

you'll come to find
that i'm an alright guy

just know that i
can feel the vibes

whatever is whatever
that, i won't deny

but, still, i want to
feel some pleasure

it's ironic how cathartic
being honest is

it's kind of nice
to say whatever's
on my mind

i guess the pleasure's mine,
but whatever is whatever,
so either way is fine

you treat me like a
red-headed stepchild

we never connected
with an umbilical cord
but, still, you managed
to cut ties

you're toxicity
is bad for me

goodbye

goodbye

goodbye

it's sad that you'll see me later
probably in no time
i have no follow through
i'm not resolute
but whatever is whatever
that, i won't deny

nostalgia screams
of the summer fling
we had as teens

i was short
and you were taller
we looked awkward

i reminisce of the
hot day at the pool
when you went to raid
your family's fridge
and brought me a
tub of ice cream

you forgot to bring a spoon
                                                    
you struck a chord and
i became a fool for you

we were young and
our love was sweeter
than dessert

before us,
i felt neglected

you blessed me
by caring

you were good to me

you gave me
memories to cherish

gobbledygook is nonsense
it's a hodgepodge of words
as perplexing as picturing
a third of a third of a small
irrational number you heard
at the bar shortly after you
finished your tenth beer


………


you continue to hear math
when you step out of the
shower you showered in

redundancy's empowering
when done on purpose

maybe not really, but
i have the power to do it


………


i always wash off after work,
but my job is seasonal, so
i haven't showered yet

i'm short, and people
tower over me

i'm pretty sure
the smell drifts up


………


i'm almost certain that
even chaos has a source
there must be a reason
why it takes the course

the truth is there,
but it's hidden behind
many red herrings that
you can't see through

nonsense might convey
more than careful thinking,
but everything's confusing,
so i give up

it's all
gobbledygook

This poem might mean a lot to me, but detachment is the method to my madness; I wander in reverie until I fall back on my feet. Ridiculousness is lost to me. Reluctantly, I start to make sense. I can't stay focused on what does not exist.

Thank you for reading.

crazy that you're single like you are
you're so smart, so how do they resist?
i'm nervous and my hands tingle
so i'm trying to forget that you exist

you should get to know me deeper
and find out that i'm a patient teacher
i'm an open book and you - an avid reader
discover me - your next great read

my parents would be happy
and friends would be impressed
i might not feel this bad
i'd try harder and mess up less

my friends would impress you
they love me; our bonds are tight
even when I'm taking risks
they stay with me, by my side

that's all i can say as to why
you should give me a chance

……………

why'd we have to part ways?

your hands ran through my buzzed hair
then reached into my cheap shirt
caressing muscles honed in jail

like a kitten, i could have purred

i loved the girl who gave pain
exchanged for love that's now hate

you were selfish and so toxic
you broke my heart and let it rot
Isaac C 3d
love sounds nice
i assume it has a price
it is not unconditional
people might say so
but they don't know

people only care what
the outside looks like
eyes that are blind to
the beauty inside you
are out of luck
