Noting changes.
Nothing grows.

Empty highs.
Empty lows.

I can't feel the warm,
And I can't feel the cold.

You try to make me happy,
And I try just for you.
But other than our trying,
Nothing else is new.

I worry I'll upset you,
If I can't make a change.
It's not fair of me,
To make you stay the same.
Don't let me drag you down with me.

I'm free like the winds
I drift away like the clouds
but always ends up back
where I belong.

daisies fade

he loves me,
he loves me not,
he loves me,
he loves me not
he loves me
so I tell him I love him
the daisy told me
he does too
but he doesn't
so daisies fade in my mind
and rose petals bleed out of my broken heart

I am etched with ink,
stretched from yoga
and a dangerous habit of thinking.

I am balancing,
edging my way
along this
lifeline
which someone has placed high
above all of my years,
so that I am trying
(as hard as I might)
not to look down,
and

into the past.
I write a poem every time I turn another year older; here is twenty years old.

Take it slow
Don't rush
Do not fall for him
Don't get attached

It's fine
I don't love him
I am in control
I thought

Your smile makes me tingle
Your eyes make me fade
Your touch makes me fly

I smile when I think about you
And I think about you
A lot

The scar above you lip makes me grin
The one below your eyebrow laugh

You are so beautiful
In such a different way
In such an aesthetic way

I think I am falling
Falling for you
Falling deeper and deeper

I wonder what it feels like
To hold the world in your hands
And let it slip from your grasp

Suppose I'll never know

How fragile my heart must be,
to shatter from one minor atrocity.
