The Last Look

July 17th, 2018

One last glance
Because you’re going to be fine
You stroll right through
And I walk the line
You threw the first punch
That was your choice
We haven’t spoke in awhile
But you still know my voice
You turned around
Surprised to see me
Who else did you
Expect it would be
And I brace myself
For the impact
To feel the whiplash
Of your eye contact

Necessity

June 18th, 2018

Poetry is something
That I need
Like H2O
The air I breathe
I crave the words
I have to see
To unlock them from
Deep inside of me
What do I want
Only I know
But when you read
My poems show
I see it now
It’s crystal clear
I’m writing what
I see in the mirror

Fine

What do I feel
I’m not sure I know
I carry this burden
Because I can’t let it go
A glimpse of hope
I watch disappear
I’d say that I’m okay
But I am nowhere near
What are these feelings
I’m not sure
To decode inside my head
Is nothing but a blur
This is an emergency
That no one can solve
And the more I try to change
The issue evolves
All strings are attached
I don’t want to play
If you get too close
I always push away
So what is the problem
They always ask
Maybe they won’t think I’m crazy
If I put on a mask
So I will smile
And say I’m fine
Everyone should know
Never to trust that line
