A coyote has been antagonizing
something noisy in the woods
for the better
part of an hour, and now
I’m going to kill it
with a sword.

I don’t drink
coffee. I AM
COFFEE

And he whispered
“It might, it might”
Then he lit the match.

If i could,
I’d have it that
we stay friends
till the end of our days.

I’m nothing if not
a realist,
an over thinker, and
one day I’d do or say something
and hurt you.

I’ve lied to you,
made you think this
is worthless Cannot
for the life of me guess
why you’ve stuck around.
i am glad of it.

Once…
This was back a few years ago,
when we talked alot.
When she was still around
and I was conflicted. I’m not anymore
I buried all that with her.
Silly as it seems,
you remind me of her
and I cannot stand

Yet you wonder
why I trust no one.
That’s a lie,
I trust in myself.
Let no one in.
Also my hands are shaking
I don’t think you understand.

I
care about you,
that’s why
this
has to happen

Little girl…
I saw your pain again.
Where others only look, I see.
You have special kind.
Some wear it on the shoulder,
sympathy from the world.
While for others its only skin deep,
waiting for the scab to break.
Yours is deep and hidden well, but you
don’t see, that I see.
It cost me my love, but I’ve found
peace with myself.
When your ready
swallow your fear and I’ll help.
I’m something of an expert
you see

Since the first day I worked with you.
That’s when.

They tried to convince me
you’d never
change, you’d never
pick me over him, that you’d just
hurt
me.

I believe what everyone told me about you.

Know what though?
I don’t care what they say,
your worth it to me.

I follow my heart, its my biggest
weakness.

Walked past two geese
honking at a boot today,
so i yelled:
“PICK UP THE PHONE DARKNESS”

but he never did.
