Lonely Rhymes

Today I thought I looked pretty

It must have been a trick of the light

I can't fall asleep in this city

I wish that you'd come stay the night.

 

Last week I talked to you for hours

Then saw that your eyes were glazed

I sat in a field full of flowers

And I pretended that I wasn't fazed.

 

Yesterday I thought you might care for me

After that slight smile in the hall

I know that I fall far too easily

And that smile meant nothing at all.

 

Tomorrow I guess I'll feel guilty

For even just thinking of you

But if you ever called me pretty

I think that I'd feel it was true.

    Your hair danced in the wind

    yesterday, and the trees

    turned your eyes green.

    You took

    a photo of me, my skin 

    flushed from the fire, my 

    eyes closed on accident

    and I took one

  • It Never Ends

    her magenta marker

    the silent clock

    my desk, now darker

    with dust like chalk.

     

    his name in my phone

    my swimming mind

    his teeth were like moonstone, 

    mouth open that night.

     

  • wanting, without direction

    today's air tastes like berries

    and overused metaphors. the shadows run

    across golden ground, and i look 

    at our old stone wall like they would in farmers' days.

    a boundary, a gate
