The Reason Why

This heart was torn
Now it beats in
Two places at once
Wanting to be mended

By either of you

Smoke, Mirrors

You love yourself
Enough to destroy me
You don't love me
Enough to destroy yourself

Let everyone know what you did to me

Interrupt

Don't do that
Silence me tonight
You will regret hushing me
Furthermore you'll not enjoy

The storm after the quiet

Star Lust

No, not here
Ask me again tomorrow
In the sun of the morning
Not under the cloak of night

So there's no doubt it's me you desire

Full Bloom

The smell of
Late summer
Is all over you
Too late will I treat

Our days as they were numbered

Moon Mist

This is the night
Where I would
Never again forget
The fragrance of your hair

In the summer breeze

Vacant

With each passing day
It seems as though you're here
Less often so naturally I
Assume you're somewhere else

Because you don't look lost, just misplaced

Flash The Message

I beat my drum for
Anti white-supremacy
Not anti-white supremacy
Now that I have made the distinction

It's on you to ensure that there is one

All Lives

There's nothing wrong
With your grammar
You and I both know
That I can only matter

So long as you matter first

Bygones

I haven't been her
Since we broke up
Don't you understand yet
You killed her when you left

You wouldn't want me any more than you did her

Withdrawn

Where are your profile pics
Where is your hashtag prayer
All that spirited apathy
I haven't heard you since Paris

And your silence is deafening

Dulce

There isn't enough water
Hot or cold
To wash away
All the sweetness

You've left on my tongue

Balconies

It's easy, and that's why
It's seen as being romantic
Because we're born into this
Very lazy concept of what love is

Where everything is fulfilled by our lover

My job

I don't know when
I forgot who I wanted to be
All I remember is wanting so bad
For you to remind me

How silly is that

Samaritan

I am going to put
My lips onto yours
Because I am full of life
And you have lost yours

Once you have breath I will be gone

Palms

Has anyone asked you
For your hand lately
Can I share in your energy
And delight in how differently

Our blood flows

Summer Dresses

Every summer
You pretty flowers bloom
With magisterial radiance
Until I pick one of you

Causing her too soon to wilt

Coats

How come so few of you
Have the skin you want
Before you beautify
And then less of you

Have it after

Tangentially Yours

I don't turn to my phone
Anymore there's nobody
There for me now, in fact
I have nowhere really to go

Since searching within led me here 

Air Signs

Don't you feel that
Warm breeze on your skin
Carrying you away from yourself
Into that eternal wind, where

There is no self between us
