Poem: off again

did i ever tell you
that any of that
                mattered
or that
       holding out hope
is what i do best?

with your barely open gates
closing and
your once flirtatious musing
silenced you
look at me
          differently and
see another friend
                  ending
this dance
          again
ending this
          dance
again
          But,

didn't you tell me that

you don't dance?

Are You Sure?

What if every secret was a lie?

Take Joy

Take joy on those parts of the past that bring you joy and let go of those that do not.

What Would You Call It?

Don't call it love if you don't go the distance.
