you said
you said you see yourself in me
no baby no
you’re better
you’re you
Writing, Ideas, & Stories
you said
you said you see yourself in me
no baby no
you’re better
you’re you
i choose not to shoot-
to wait;
but everything
everything
is telling me
to let rounds fly;
i knew it
the moment i saw you
i couldn’t look away
scornful eyes peered down
i didn’t care.
the way you bounced
in the summer night
i caved in your eyes
i’m glad they never returned
i wouldn’t have let you go
she was a needle beetle
crawling on all fours
ice in her veins
of what remains.
red puff explodes from her eyes
circled her like a vulture
claim to be of culture
nothing but guilty spies.
she used to say
the number twelve
smelled like pine
outside~
one chirstmas morning
12pm
i knew what she meant
~
it’s twelve days till your birthday
i remember that night;
tragic vandal
we’ll light
a pine scented candle
in your memory
i remember you
differently
a quiet one,
now
you yell from the highest mountain top
whatever happened
i’m happy
i love your voice
set fire
to everything
that isn’t for you
i haven’t
seen your eyes
shine
the way the did tonight;
i captured
every second
with my two lenses
before the night ended
i don’t remember
yesterday, the way i did
yesterday
it’s demon time
breathing fire
above a bar
on a wednesday
morning
