Irreplaceable

Irreplaceable

Is us

You and I

Together

Joking and laughing from things like the weather

To ghost cows and weird books and crazy ideas

To fanfictions and emails and drafts we'll never send.

We laugh so hard we cry

We talk and we think

We analyze and fantasize 

With our cousin telepathy.

You're irreplaceable

A song in my heart

While we may sometimes fight,

And are often apart,

I look forward to calling you,

Seeing you, making memories

Some sweet and some tart.

You are my second half

The one who completes me;

I talk a lot of my friends,

But you're my every reason.

We live separate lives

Have different friends

Social groups, opinions on math that never ends

But most we have in common

Like book series we love

How we write and we chat and we make the rules bend.

We are the cousins, unbreakable and strong

Rebellious and caring,

Passionate and daring.

Thank you so much for making me feel funny

Making me laugh at our ridiculous stories

Cool and hilarious and occasionally boring

I love every moment, every in-between:

Irreplaceable, my cousin, is you and me.

  • Stuck in my head

    Stuck in my head

    The lyrics go round and round.

    Unstoppable, insurmountable

    A cacophony of sound.

    They won’t go away

    And with each repitition

    I can feel my brain exploding

    Like nuclear fission.

  • Do You Know

    Do you know how many minutes I save for you

    So we can be together?

    Do you know how it feels

    When you throw them out

    For other things?

    Do you know how it feels

    To never feel like you're good enough
