Senior Year Killed the Syllabus Week Pt. 2 (20w)
You fell asleep before I even got my bra off
Giving me a B for half-assed, dreaded, and deadened effort

Feeling 20w
When I'm not writing,
I have the terrible feeling,
That I do not have feeling,
And can no longer write
poetry is my joy

Skin (20w)
Little cracks like weeping windows
we grow opaque
and under the pale blue moon
(tainted)
you seep into my soul

I've always liked gingers
But I've never met a ginger I liked until you.
Your flaming hair echoes my desire.

A Gardener, Not A Flower (20W)
Those hands,
Cleaned with our clothes,
Washed with the rice,
Rough like these days
Are feet that kept me going.*

Liking (20w)
I say I've moved on
And yet I find myself still liking
Every new status
Every new picture.
How pathetic.
I really need to move on but I can't when she took my heart and ran away.

Tink: The Adventurous Wanderer (20W)
Beautifully aligned,
This perfectly created being -
Seemingly insurmountable distances stretch between us -
I have but one wish,
A simple thimble...

Fall (20W)
If the person you love
Is truly
Holding you up
Then there's no way
You could
fall
For someone else

Entertaining Ideas,
Slowly Mauling Thoughts,
Over Manifesting Mindless Acts -
Complexity Turned Suddenly Simplified -
Outburst Magnification Aligned,
Creative, Innovative,

Seeking Companionship (20w)
My cat
is the only living, breathing organism
remotely willing
to keep me any company
and even he is
reluctant.
Sometimes I just want someone to hold me, if only for a little while.

Salty (20W)
You could blame everyone
Knowing you're the one at fault
You could taste the bitterness
A lifetime supply of salt
There's so many flavours out there so don't be salty.

You may leave at some point.
But your memories, they won't.
I may say goodbye.
But my love, it can't.

Bound (20W)
Threads of society will try, tie
and keep you down.
Let them see the claws.
Show them you're a lion.
Don't stay bound. Don't let them dictate and hound.
Be you, your authentic you despite what they say.
Fight back and live your life.
