Month: November 2018

And what if
I told you
That the universe
Lied to you
That you
Had it all wrong

You are
The center
Of my known universe
The north star
By which I always
Find my way home
No matter
How lost I am

I can look up to you
And know how far I’ve come
And how far I’ve yet to travel
In the journey
That is my life

If only you knew
How much you mean to me
The brightest star
I’ve ever set my eyes upon

And I
Don’t have
Any funny stories
To share with you
About taking
The kids somewhere
Or hanging out
With my significant other–

So how can the discussion
Be considered an
Equal exchange of ideas?
How much will the tariffs be
If one party benefits
More so from the discussion
Than the other?

Now who
Really is
In charge
Here?

Maybe things
Will be better
Then

Let me begin
By asking when
Should circumstances
Demand I give my all?

When I’m sure of myself?
Completed my prayers while knelt?
And passed through the most
Holiest of halls?

For everything I do
Draws from resources so few
It’s not easy
Being me

Once a deed has been done
My composure weighs a ton
It becomes a burden
Just to act civilly

So I must make haste
And flee the public space
Forgive my sudden departure
I haven’t been invited to the rapture

Not anymore

I hardly see you
But I can’t be tempted
To pay attention
When you do arrive

I’m trying not to look
Because I know that
You’re bad for me
Even if I peek a little

But I just can’t resist–
What harm can be had
If I check your status
Just one more time?

Maybe this
Planet
Will feel like
Home
One of these days

I have to move
Or I’ll be trapped
But I can barely
Stand up
I just want to
Sit here
And let it
All wash over me
Because should
I escape
I’ll forgot
Everything
Even you
