Month: February 2019

You don’t fool me–
You’re just as clueless
As I was when I first arrived
As to how to
Save them all

The day we held hands

Found a little
Hope today
In small talk
About starships

Never believed
In such a place
Until
You left me

If I study you
Long enough
I think I can
Figure out
How to
Fall in love

Never believed
In such a place
Until
I met you

I want you
To hit me
As hard as
You can

Every day
I broadcasted messages
And every day
I hoped reinforcements
Would arrive

Then I realized
That the only
Hero I could
Count on
Was myself
So I stopped
Believing in you
And placed my faith
In me

I want to
Press the button
Because the game
Locked up again
But how many times
Can I get away
With this by
Reloading my last save
Every time things
Don’t go my way?

I’m not even sure
My progress
Was saved–
What if the
Last save point
Was further back
And I have to redo
The parts I already
Went through?

And I’d like to think
I have time to
Play the game again
To explore the places
I never visited or
Do the things
I never did
But I think
If I ever finish
The game the first time
I’m not sure
I can play again–

I want to
Press the button
Because the game
Stopped being fun

From far away
I can see
The light

Your bright eyes and smile
Twinkle in the vastness
Beckoning to those
Lost in mundane existence

I get closer but
I keep my distance
Just outside your orbit
Despite your insistence
That we should be friends

I’m not meant to stay
For my path goes beyond
What you can offer
For heaven and earth
No longer mean anything
To the likes of me

You have good intentions
But you can’t save everyone
