Oh hey look
There’s a a
A well damn
It’s kinda something
Else or else
It’s gotta be
Something else entirely
Why do we
Insist that anything
Ever be something
It’s usually that
Which kills it
Living up to
Things ends dreams
Month: September 2022
Label
Things often exist long
Before someone calls them
Anything these things go
About doing but only
Be when someone say
Hey look at that
Calling something a name
Never makes it so
It makes it recognizable
Should it happen again
Before that it’s still
Confession
After almost a year
Of back and forth
Of steeplechase and jockeying
We finally did meet
And drank from each
Others cup feeling warmth
I had even before
You took your time
We laugh about it
I’m your very first
You’re not my last
But where we are
Is a comfortable place
I often wonder why
It is always hardest
To tell the truth
When two hearts are
NotYouYeahYou
It wasn’t like I
Thought that it’d be
Much less than fanfare
More like gaining weight
Rather than it thundering
It just quietly called
A hey you there
Not you yeah you
Want to be mine
And finally finally after
The fear of not
Of maybe never forever
You picked me to
Be on your team
Whoopsie
Some would probably say
That I’ve lost it
But here’s the funny
Thing about losing things
We can only lose
Things that we had
Since I never had
You you weren’t mine
To lose so what
If anything were you
A near miss a
Maybe and maybe even
A whoopsie close enough
To maim but not
Close enough to lose
