Waltzing through my mind mansion
Naked save the tie about my wrist
(Was about my eye
but the front door guy
bid me to remove it)
I did it because I have been
trapped all my life
The air was loud, whipping past my ears,
deafening my thoughts, my doubts
No regret seeped into my soul
I love you!
And I don’t know how to tell you that I love you
Is the problem that we’re having here
The thing is you don’t even realize
How much I love you
And you won’t unless I make you realize
Life.
The universe.
Reincarnation.
Living.
Breathing.
Do you know what -
what these words
have in common?
Besides grammar -
besides capitalization -
Once upon a time,
On an ordinary day,
I pondered to myself
Whether or not I ought to make a daisy chain.
Was the effort of rising,
On a summer day, hot,
Worth the pleasure of tying

january, it's january
i am 16 years old now
everything is good, and happy for once
february, it's february
for the first time, i have a partner on valentine's day
All I do is love you
But look what you put me through
You come home drunk, angry and swinging
I cower in fear awaiting the stinging
After my master moved away-
I saw some boys come out to play
they played a game with balls and bats- and blood and bones and yowling cats
I ran away from them
an alleyway, so dark and cold
As she danced for her audience of one, beads of sweat dropped from her hair.-I danced for him, like I never had before.
