I’ve never been so happy
To take me out on a date
People-watch over the balcony
A man in the corner
Plays the saxophone
I’ve fallen in sweetness
With the thought
That I’m all I need

Angry
My chest is bursting at the seams and I will not run away. I will not explode. I will sit in the middle of the floor and ride out this fever.
Out Of Love
You’re coming into the shallow end of my heart
The warmth of your body still lingers at the edges
But we are both turning cold
And we know it
Sticky Seaweed
There is something wild in me
Filled with fire
Who is having fun destroying everything
I am creating secrets again
My own life
Unhinging
And scrubbing out the stick
How terrible to be intertwined
Like seaweed tangled in your toes
Swimming across the ocean of pain
Ready For Cake
I tasted a tear and there wasn’t even salt inside
I’m so tired of crying
Burning and itching
Heart bitten
I argued with myself like a teenager
You are going to regret this
But I have to make sure
I have to check for a pulse one more time
I continue
Come on it’s dead
That false puff of air
I love to love dead things
I’m becoming crazy
Wild and reckless
Like I always do
it doesn’t surprise me anymore
As I watch myself go mad
It’s becoming my ritual
To shiver and bleed
As I slice up the cake
The knife is in my hand
As I press on the frosting
I wish I knew where to collect the strength
To cut all the way through
Nothing Can
Nothing can be perfect
Or stay forever lasting
But what about the embers
At the bottom of the fire pit
Or all the sand
That sleeps below the waves
I’ll stay as long as I can
Backseat
The rain locked us together
As the fog hung around the mountain trees
The sky reflected in your eyes
And I couldn’t believe
How easy it was to be with you
Farewell
Thank you
You’ve played with my heart
You’ve burned my skin
And suffocated my lungs
With heat
With warmth
The rain started falling
And I couldn’t go anywhere
We can’t speak all the time
But we smile together
You’ve surprised me
After all you’ve taken from me
And pushed me down
Tossed me around
I noticed the flowers that you laid out for me
Go find another heart
To steal
Feed them dragon fruit
And show them the sleepy alleys with graffiti
It’s true
I fall in love with you more everyday
Our bond thickening
With every second
My feet are planted on your floor
But since I have you
I don’t want you
Chiang Mai
I’ve outgrown you
Thank you
Chiang Mai
I’m letting you go
I want something different
Oceans not mountains
Islands not traffic
Night
I am a creature of the night
A slimy alien
Laughing on the moon
I found true love
Only to watch it disappear
Behind a mountain
I can’t see without the light
But my eyes are adjusting
I’m a bat now
Living in a cave of dripping drops
With crystals hidden inside the layers
The moon will roll over the mountains again
The darkness is my home again
The Formula
There will be good days and bad days
You can calculate them
With a probability formula
A pros and cons list
And decide whether to stay or let go
Or you can turn up the
Frequencies of your soul
Follow the music
And go where it wants you to grow
