I wish I could go back to the day I met you,
back to that december,
and never stop your way.
If I could make a wish
it'd be to feel better
all by myself.
Today, I am in a place I hate to be.
Today, the love I felt does not exist.
My friend pain is the air i breathe.
And I wonder why I won't just leave.

I'm terrified to make eye contact with you

What if you can see
just how desperately
I want it to never end?
Stop

You

       attention-seeking

of course "NTS" ( oh, get me an me cheeky abbreviations) are for others to see on SM (again!) platforms, informing the world of the wit and hilarity of the author- who often reminds him/her ( or whichever personal pronoun is relevant) self not to be oh-so-whacky-crazy-forgetful....although doing so, makes them wonderful funsters that you would not want to miss at a party

Got a song for them

I don't pretend
To be anything
That I'm not

Except for
Sober

I've pretended to
Be sober
A few times

Jesus is coming
When he gets here, wake me up
I will get my phone.
cynic
Ride life like a lightning bolt.
With unshakable, determined purpose.
Burning up all that stands in your way.
And making the world smile when it sees you strike.

We used to play
Just right outside
7 years later you left
And never came back
I still see your
Shadow on the lawn
Now I play by myself
It's really a yawn
Because those memories
Play like a lullaby in my head
I really miss my brother

I realize I don't have many prerequisites for love
Devotion, truth, transparency?
None of the above
Turns out I'm pathetic as a human being can be
I promise to love you
if you promise to love me
I am the playing card
in the wheel of a child's bicycle.
Playing big man,
I'll trick you like I tricked myself.
The world lives
between the cracks in window blinds,
the actors find their marks
and I deliver my line.
