Month: June 2019

It just seems
Too hard
To be myself and
Hope
That is enough

Let me in
Let me in
Because in
The empty space
Between us
No one can
Hear me scream
Let alone let me
Dream a little dream
Am I really too late?
Or so far ahead of my peers
That no one really sees me?

The best things read
Were written
By other people

You’re looking for someone
Who can give you forever in
A handful of years
Unwavering loyalty even though
That person hasn’t met you
Someone able to say I love you
In more than flowers or words
As if they read your mind and
Knew the right amount of
Tender loving care to give you
Such that you felt you always deserved–

I know because I want this too

You said
You would
Make me
Forget
And you did

You have a
Hold on me
I say and
Do things
I wouldn’t normally
Is this something
Sinister?
Is this what
It means to be
In love?

You make me
Want to get out
Because if I stay
I won’t be the same person
When I first
Got here

You yell at me
Call me names
Mock who I am
And what
I can do
Then you
Complain
When I finally
Get your
Attention

The upgrade
Always seems
Out of reach
Can’t find the
Health pickup
I’m stuck
At novice

And in this
Vast universe
Of distractions
You still
Managed to
Set aside
Time and space
For me
