I once loved a girl,
But I wasn't enough for her,
So she ran off with other guys.
I once loved a boy,
But he just wanted to use me,
He told me he loved me,
Turned out to be crazy.
At first, I wasn’t going to say anything. I was going to wait it out, let the time and misery pass in silence. But then it occurred to me, when have I ever sat idly by with a broken heart?
Close vibration,
sounds felt up and down my body.
Just sounds -
no meaning.
But these words
soften my tightness,
calm hush
calm soft
calm warm.
I'll always love you.
dandelions are weeds,

i wish you could see them
really see. because if you could see them, if you could see their

They tell us to be careful
that life is hard, and cruel
but I would never listen
and now I look the fool.
They tell us people leave
and I knew it to be true
but some stay together forever
there is only one pain
that is love
pain of longing
for love
and pain of losing
the beloved
for whatever i have
i will surely lose
It is true when they say, “the good die young”
For I witnessed the passing of the most wonderful soul
Her melody prematurely unsung
The strength that she left behind
Sarah, Sarah
You were the light
of our days, and
the spirit of the team.
One pair less, of basketball shoes.
One ball less, not in your hand.
One life less, that we love and need.
Bury your dead best friend. bury your dead best friend.
1 scoop of the shovel
1 stroke of the mud
i said i wouldnt cry anymore now im drowning in a flood
flash flood couldnt get away in time
A memory, a call,
of times lost long ago.
Of laughter that will always fall
that day not long ago.
We missed the sign
that could have changed
this rhyme to better times,
DOOMED. Doomed I say.
For all has been destroyed.
Endless souls have fallen into the void.
Lost I say.
They are the Forgotten Ones.
I saw the stars
for the first time in
a while.
Was it you
shining down on me?
I've never seen them
so clearly
in this sad and busy
city.
Dear YXU,
It has been a while! How ya been, ya schmuck?
I’m busting down your doorway and my blood pressure’s up
There’s a small stream of spit
Trailing form the rabid corner of my mouth
More beautiful than autumn, that’s her name- but like leaves, I fell for her
Knowing that I’ll never be the same; it’s likely that I’ll adore her
For all of eternity, her beauty stirs such a storm in me
You lasted only 21 years on this 4.5 billion-year-old rock we call Earth.
On a universal scale, each second in Earth's time represents 440 years.
Dear Uncle Riki,
Only when it’s black as dark as the past can sometimes be
Until the lead cracks and bark burns when we will finally see
Words left behind that act as marks of your memory
You smell like heartbreak and vodka on the rocks,
I'm not crazy,
but I'm also not in love.
You look so alive with those teardrops in your eyes,
and I love when you leave cause it brings me peace.
If I were
To tell you
I love you,
It would for sure
Make my stomach whirl
At the thought of
A boy
And
A girl
Lost and in love.
Trust,
Lust,
