I poem. You poem. They Poem. I dumpy. You dumpy. They dumpy. 🍑
And one day, when we’re older, sated, settled

On campfire starry night, we’ll have a talk

I’ll tell him all about it, and we’ll laugh. We better.

And we won’t have to race again against the clock.

I’ll tell that to myself since I cannot confess

To him my truth. I’d rather let it lie.

It won’t do any good, will only make a mess.

I’d rather spend my time teaching my heart to fly.

And here I am, admitting to myself, years later

In vague and sorry poetry, i guess, but nonetheless

I loved him. There, I said it. Pen on paper.

And he, right now, I’m sure, could not care less.

And I cannot move on, still, stuck in a limbo

Now that I ran away across the world, again

Because I’d never let my life to just be simple

The suffering’s a spice when life’s too plain

The ink that I would use to write a romance book

But only in my head I’d ever really dare.

Because, in truth, I was the only one to look

It was delusional of me to ever keep the stare.

The way our conversations flowed like wine

Our interests collided with the brightest spark

It lit up all my days, my lonely, wishful nights…

When I would fantasize of love, in inky dark

Yet I have looked at him for my entire life

Seen him in dreams, and told him many stories

Ever since he saved me from my childhood strife

Now miles and states away, my thoughts in California
October 17, 2024 at 10:52 PM
And, worst of all, he’d never look at me

The way I might’ve liked for him to look

Because we are quite different, fundamentally

On matters of which there were written many books

Because we’re polar opposites, you see

Where I see rain and drama, he sees weather

And where I only fathom electricity

He sees projections, outcomes, woven strings of letters

A friend so close we know each other dearly

But in my soul, I think I always knew

I’d never put it into words, express it clearly

And he would never know what he’s to do
October 17, 2024 at 10:50 PM
I were in such a hurry, to come out the other end

I went completely blind to all my own desires

I buried feelings deep, no time to cry or mend

And let one get away. One I admired.

So consumed with paranoia and distress

I floated years like an abandoned island

All ships incoming sent away a mess

Even if they carried joy capped in a vial

Life came at us so fast, swept us to sea

You learn to swim, as well as build a boat

But I, instead, began attempts to flee

To build myself a prison, and a moat.

welcome to the nothingness, dark and warmless void
that is where your soul is going, after all this noise
let’s go out with a bang, let our primal out
after all thats all existence ever was about.

welcome to the end times, come to the front row
while we’re walking off a cliff, let’s have a little talk
you should know there’s no way back, it is only fair
it is cruel, after all, to let you choose your fate

welcome to the internet, land of bold anon
pulling our entire worlds into a money con
foresight? any consequences? please don’t make me laugh
when the world burns to the ground no one will give a crap
October 17, 2024 at 10:30 PM
welcome to the hellscape, sit and weep a bit
Are tired yet of random strangers asking for your feet?
maybe its your bone structure, maybe its your style
definitely not our fault that people are so vile
October 17, 2024 at 10:29 PM
welcome to the internet! come and stay a while
here’s the cutest ever puppy, here’s a starving child
give us all your energy, buy all of useless things
till you’re drained of soul and money we’re right under your skin
