I like the idea of you
more than you in person.
You were more interesting
in my head.
In there you were tamed
and could not hurt me.

Closer
We don’t live close.
But words put together
can make you and I
become close.
Choose to be close
then so much closer.
Frog Prince
You already
dissected me
back in high school.
I don’t want
anything
to do with you now.
Tube
All squeezed out of my tube,
toothpaste or glue,
either or.
Regardless,
I am empty.
All that I’ve ever had
has been purged from me
and given to you.
Are you satisfied?
Turn Around
I was waiting for you to turn around and see.
But you would not look again at me.
Might you have been scared?
I was only going
to remove my mask.
Rush
Don’t rush me to make a decision.
I have to think about it first,
pros and cons.
All the different avenues this road will take me.
My destination known, yes,
but unknown to my current state of mind.
Chaos
It is okay
for poetry
not to have rules.
Let it be chaotic.
After all,
doesn’t life work the same way?
Let the chaos of life
speak
through your writing.
