Please

Please, can't you say it?

I'm tired of guessing.

Why skip around the truth

Rather than outright admitting it?

We dance like fireflies

Flying around

Not hitting the mark

But making a dent

Making a sound.

Please just say what we're thinking

Please, I beg you.

I promise we feel the same way.

I promise I won't judge you.

  • Envelope

    My science teacher accused me

    playfully and yet fiercely

    of stealing an envelope

    I had been threatening to peel the cover strip off of the sticky part

    so it glues together

    because it was just so tempting.

  • I believe

    I believe in America and I believe in who we could be

    but I don't believe in who we are.

    It's so easy to give up and let them reign.

    I am.

    I'm scared to stand up or say things and I haven't before,

    and I won't.

  • True love

    True love.

    Love that's true.

    Love you know

    in your heart

    is you and another person.

     

    I guess I like to think I'm in love

    I never really know.
