not missing you

I don't know why I texted you

Spontaneously last night. 

Usually I set up some elaborate plan, 

So I can do everything right. 

 

You're failing school, 

Well guess what?—So am I,

It hasn't even been an hour, 

And I have a poem to write. 

 

I won't get obsessed again, 

I won't fall in love with you.

I promised myself I never would, 

But I also said we'd never talk again too. 

 

I found someone who makes me happy, 

So why am I still waiting for your response?

I love her, and you are past, 

And I don't care what you want. 

 

But I see we're not so different;

You still play guitar. 

We're both in bad places, 

And you're still woven through my scars. 

 

But the past is past, 

They say forgive, and forget. 

Though I don't really see how that is true, 

Because you're still waiting for me to say, "I miss you."

  • i wanna be yours

    my breakfast cereal used to turn soggy in milk,

    and now the flavors blend like a rainbow,

    and every time i watch that show,

    i wonder what it would be like if i was in your arms,

    a black cat crossed the street

    as i was speeding down it,

    i came to a halt, 

    but it was already gone. 

    i guess that it's lucky:

    i didn't kill the cat,

    but as i stepped out to look where it stood,

    Is it so wrong for you to look at me?

    Is it so bad to smile my way?

    You act like I'm untouchable, a flea,

    But yet you kiss me whispers and my hair you play.
