Seasons

November 1st, 2010

We’ve cycled through the seasons
These feelings have no reasons
But placing my lips on the one I heard sing
Is all that’s been on my mind since spring
Your eyes have a way of looking at me
I wonder if it’s me they see
Or do you just see something you desire
Whatever it is, you set me on fire
In winter you turned up the heat
Your eyes on me made my heart skip a beat
In spring you brought the showers
But by the end, there were no flowers
In summer you kept things cool
While I stayed lost feeling like a fool
We’re in fall and that’s all I’ve done
But in the end, I’m not the one

Drunk Sensations

October 1st, 2010

The taste
My tongue itself
Will never want to know
The feeling
The numbness
The everything
It’s all too much for me
I don’t want to know
I never want to know
Why did you do this to me
I’m much too young
I’m much too old
For my age
I know too much
I’ve seen too much
The smell
It reeks
While death lingers
You’re too fond of it though
And not too fond of me
Because these drunk sensations stay
Even when they’re gone
They’re not too far away
Because
Somehow
The bottles always empty in your room

Benchwarmer

December 3rd, 2021

Lost in thoughts
If I’ve done something wrong
Messages go unread
Like you’re dragging me along
Rewrite my poetry
Until the meaning is gone
Lose you in the verses
Where you didn’t belong
Letting you go
Letter by letter
I won’t stay on the sidelines
Knowing I deserve better
