don't.
read.
anything.
into it.

don't stuff a lobster
into a poor ant

...and the ant isn't edible anyway...

some days, i think you're apathetic
and that me believing you pathetic
but that hill and those rocks
those drops dried to brown
and that tree and those nails
remind me
that you are no bogus deity
no roman goddess in marble
hidden in a towering temple

if he says you're it
i won't go crazy

if he says you're not it
i won't go crazy

that's how i feel about you right now
i guess that's an improvement

your voice is on repeat
a steady beat to the wail of my longing

someone asked:
"can you love someone who
isn't the one God has chosen to be your lifetime partner?"
you replied with a wry twist of your lips:
"yes, you can. if you are that stubborn."

it's funny that that's one of the things
that keeps me in check
