Laughter

Your laughter is expensive -

it comes at a cost,

one I achieved just barely last night.

If I don't try,

it comes easy.

Be funny

be cool

be liked

I want you to think I am those things

but more than that

I want connection wherever I go

and we do all the same things...

friendship? Maybe?

But I promise I won't get hung up on this...

I just hope

something works out

and your laughter

becomes easy to come by for me.

  • I used to know you

    I used to know you

    every little kink in your brain

    how your eyes would flash when you were upset

    and your glasses reflected your anger

    you were an open book to me

    and I can still read it - here's the hard part

  • My truth

    Wanna know my truth?

    No you don't

    The world's a hard place but right now it feels so much harder

    there's people actually hurting but I'm hurting too

    fake hurting

    fake fake fake

  • Little one

    Right now

    you just want to play in the snow

    but your snow fort melted

    your tunnel is gone

    your snowsuit is caked with mud

    the world is gray and dreary

    and here comes springtime with the illusion of warmth
