Conversations with myself
And it’s funny because
You could be pricing Christmas popuri in April and think of him
One of those days
that only poetry could make sense of
When you don’t know what you mean but you know you mean it
My thoughts collect like raindrops on the car window
Like tear drops on your face
Like chemo in an IV
In your veins
Until they plummet to their inevitable death

And death is at your doorstep
And it will steal your innocence
But it will not steal your substance
But you are not alone in this,
And you are not alone in this

The opposite of love’s indifference
So pay attention now, I’m standing on your porch screaming out
And I won’t leave until you come downstairs
So keep your head up, keep your love

So you were never a saint
And I loved in shades of wrong
We learn to live with the pain
Mostly of broken hearts
But this love is raging and wild
And I never saw you coming
And I’ll never be the same again

Love's just a waste of our energy
And this life’s just a waste of our time.
So why don’t we get together?
We could waste everything tonight,
we could waste,
we could waste it all…

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room.
Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home.
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all your little brother’s favorite songs
I just realized everything I have
is someday gonna be gone
Never Grow Up, Taylor Swift

I'm just about to set fire to everything I see
I want you so bad I’ll go back on the things I believe.
There I just said it, I’m scared you’ll forget about me…

Step out the front door like a ghost
into the fog where no one notices
the contrast of white on white.
And in between the moon and you
the angels get a better view
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.

So read your books but
stay out late some nights,

Wait for the year to drown.
Spring forward, fall back down.
I’m trying not to wonder where you are

Up with your turret
Aren’t we just terrified?
Shale, screen your worry
from what you won’t ever find
