Sweet Summer Thoughts

The taste of you in my mouth left a sting,
listen close, the rain is starting to sing.
It has been doing that a lot more often,
I should keep these summer days in my back pocket.
And I was sleeping when you slipped away.
If I were given another...

On the Brink

So much of what I think is on the brink.
So much of what she thinks is colored pink.
So much of what I lie doesn't smile back.
So much of my mind is polluted by facts.
So much of what I say is a mistake,
so much of what I write will never be...

Leaving

I can see you with my eyes.
As of now, you're in front of me
like I want you to be.
But the truth that I let my eyes in
is like the horizon

Any Other Way

The sun bites at my eyes,
and my lips,
I watch as it uncurls onto my hips.
It holds my heart so high,
I fear that it might haunt me,
and honestly,

The Yearn to Grow

Maybe all these verses
are just curses
aimed directly at me

And I am so glad
that you never meant to do me harm,
but you harmed me, nevertheless.

And I've learned to grow,
like apples in the grove,
but I'm so sick of adapting to you.

this poem makes everything real. It gives a face to an evil. It makes drugs understandable as a villain lurking in the darkness. I wish poems like this didn't have to be written, but they do. This poem is so beautiful.
