Snap

you sent my mind
hurtling through
the land of possibility
giving me a glimpse of
everything my life could be
with you
and then you
took it all away
with a snap of your fingers
that brought me back to
reality

- you and I
  standing next to each other
  yet, a million miles
  between us

Ocean

Remember that day
We woke up early to
Watch the sunrise?

The ocean was still
Quiet
Waves barely visible

This is what
Your love feels like

There's no drowning
No turmoil
Chaos
Everything fall into place

But here's the catch:

I grew up by the ocean
An ocean that was rough and angry
Crashed into the sand
Spraying water everywhere

And when I'm with you
It's that ocean
That I want

Corny

i hate that i
still think about you

Anitya

I thought it would be temporary

You going away

I thought you'd come back

But now I know you won't

So maybe you did it

You found something that would last

And me?

I'm happy for you

doomed

Why do you think
every relationship is doomed
from the beginning?


I think about all the relationships I've seen
Collapse to the ground
Come down like a jenga tower
Taking down people who thought they were in love
That they'd found the one

I look at this woman
Asking me this question
I remain silent
But I want to scream

Truth

It didn't feel like I thought it would

Perhaps it was the booze that was coursing through my body
In my blood
Not taken to dull this moment
To give me the courage to say what I did
None of this was planned
You asked me a question and I thought
Fuck it
Just be honest
It wouldn't matter tomorrow
So I told you my truth
And before you could say anything about it
Someone interrupted our conversation
And your attention was focused elsewhere

I sat there, cradling my drink
Waiting for the relief to kick in
The weight of what I'd just accepted
Instead I felt nothing
So I turned to whoever was seated to my left
And went on with life as if nothing had happened
