Fighting Tao

      it's same damn sun
  in the same damn sky.

—so wilt away.

" Black rose, your thorns are cutting into me
                                         for the last time.

            I watched your petals wilt away;

      I couldn't bring you back to life. "

cry if you want (it's the return of No Sensitivity)

                      You don't have to scream
to say something that you honestly mean.

Work & play were never okay to mix the way we do

I can't say I was never wrong—
—but some blame rests on you.

Polaris

You say that love goes anywhere;

"in your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there."

    when you go,  I'll  let  you  be,

butyou'rekillingeverything in me.

For Me, This is Heaven

This is what she says gets her through it—

"If I don't let myself be happy now, then when?"

If not now, when?

Summer

   Tried to give you summer,
                   but I'm winter—
wish I could make you spring
(butIfallsohard)

Drive

" Your lips go dry (butthey'resweetinside)—

                            wine must go right to your head. "

every sentence a failure

A slant rhyme is all I can give;

          a half-truth is all I'll get.

Why do you paint?
For exactly the same reason I breathe.
That’s not an answer.
There isn’t any answer.
How long hasn’t there been any answer?
As long as I can remember.
And how long have you written?
As long as I can remember.
I mean poetry.
So do I.
