Why do people
look for love
when we were
born with it
love
what do people
think it is
this thing that
they search for
love
where do people
think they will
find this thing
they always have
love
when do people
finally accept it
this thing longed
to be given
love
who do people
think will give
or even accept
this very thing
when they don’t
love

Don’tEverNever
Throwing everything
at people
to appease
anything never
ever solves
the problem
it simply
soothes the
lingering sting
caused by
bad decisions
ItAin’tHeavy
It’s also
strange this
not needing
anyone else
for finally
I can
simply want
deliciously want
succulently desire
absent of
distanced from
the baggage
of need
I carry
my own
now these
emotional bags
leaving others
to lug
around theirs
NormallyNormal
It’s strange
this being
normal normally
normal again
after a
lifetime of
being different
I tired
being different
around others
being the
odd duck
still different
now alone
I’ve learned
that normal
isn’t what
you are
as much
as it
is who
you’re around
Sip
There’s just
something about
that first
sip of
morning coffee
similar to
that first
smooch I
share with
you each
one reminding
it’s dawn
things to
do you
to love
