Things I Can't Have

There are a lot of things I can't have:

You

Your love

Your care.

I shouldn't be allowed your smile

Or to ask you truth or dare.

I shouldn't be given your warmth

Or your adoration;

I can't be trusted with precious things

They're my annihilation.

I want you so badly

But I haven't earned you yet.

I did a lot of things

That maybe I regret.

I want to make it right

But every time I try

I only make it worse;

I have no alibi.

  • Pet store

    I am such a horrible awful jerk

    I refuse pets

    I refuse animals

    Because I refuse to get another

    Because that feels like replacing her

    And so I won't do it

    But there are all these animals out there

  • Labor Day

    Have a great Labor Day weekend, everybody!

    What if it's not labor

    What if I want to anyway

    What if that was why I got out of bed every painful stupid day after the other

  • Fall

    Fall is here and I fight nostalgia with every step

    I am falling into the colored leaves like a child with crayons filled them in

    The slightest cool breeze knocks me over

    I love this time of year
