she's so pretty

I watch you with her,

I’m stupid for caring,

I watch you with her,

Gosh she’s so pretty,

It’s not fair,

Her hair,

Her eyes, her smile,

She drowned you,

She pulled you in,

I’m scared you’re stuck in her trap,

But gosh she’s so pretty,

On the outside and within,

I see why you fell for her,

It would be so easy,

I wish you would fall for me,

I understand th...

scattered constellations

the walls are crashing,
my head is banging,
I hear them in the back laughing,
my pants too big,

Scrolling through standards not set in stone

COMPARISON

You compare yourself with me,

You tell the world I am wrong.

 

When you were the one who cheated since day 1,

And I was the who stayed loyal even when I had reasons not to be one.

 

I loved you unintentionally ,

You betrayed me all intentionally.

 

 I  healed you, 

You broke me.

Touch The Universe

direct your gaze skyward.

I see your eyes slip through

lens and the light shoot down,

orbit in your twitching

left to right,

left to right

panning light in soft night,

oxymoron of telescope

gathers perception -your feet-

fall here and your stare there

pinned to the pit of ground,

grate your phrase from fireplace.

and divide.

put syllables in pen,
