This is the last of our nights.
On of the last nights you'll ever ruin.
You've seen that I was never too far.
The closer you came,
...
It gets late, like it is,
it gets darker, but colors get brighter
and I do too.
It's when the phone call comes,
...
It's simple but I need to get back into my poetry mind set.
Look past my smiles and
I'm still shivering.
...
We do not need each other
but the only place I can stand to be,
is anywhere with you at my side
every night and most days.
...
Your love is hype.
Your life is hype.
You like to say the honest thing
but you're a sunken cost.
...
How do I explain that your hunger frightens me?
The tightness of your touch
enters my mind, rushing,
squeezes my heart
...
An original Chanel dress
says 'I never have to be me.'
With waves or a bob in her hair,
a girl can say 'Life is perfectly fair.'
...
I know when you're lying.
Because blunt weight hits my chest,
I hate you, even if you hate to see me crying,
for throwing me another ball to juggle for you,
...

Hopeful for everything I've ever wanted.
...
A new season in a new place
means the trees
not only litter sidewalks and lawns
with crumbling leaves changed red, orange and gold,
...
