Love In Portland
Love in Portland
We took a walk
through Portland lights,
He asked me why
breakups made him feel like a
balloon pressing too close to
a sharp ceiling
He looked at me and smiled
But he didn’t choose me.
At 3 am he wrapped his thoughts
A little too closely to the pain
So I tiptoed up stairs at dawn
And slid into his bed
To warm his body and his brain
But he didn’t choose me.
On rainy nights we jumped in puddles
and talked about the future
in a playground down the street
He told me his dreams
And I told him mine
A shooting star crossed the sky
But he didn’t choose me.
Down the road now a little ways
In a sunny September glaze
He told me he missed me
In the bed in the attic
He cried into my body
And I felt my release
But he didn’t choose me.
He came back again
The weekend after
To drink the devil’s wine
Drunk; a laugh, a kiss
Talk of old times
He said he was sorry
But he didn’t choose me.
Now the summer sun
Is obscured behind buildings
Touching the sky
And he took me to his heart
And gave it all to me
And said if he could go back
And do it all again
He would choose me.
I fought my way into his head
Into his thoughts, into his bed
For so hard and so long
But now that the time had come
All the things inside my head
All the things he’d ever said
Built a wall between him and I
He asked me to choose him.
I chose myself.

Stupid You
Your clumsy hands have
Slit my passion’s throat,
Right down the jugular
A crisp straight line,
A road that leads to
My dying mind’s eye
A black hole now
No thanks to you
Or to the girl you prefer
With words like honey
Simple and sweet
So you can understand
No tricks up her sleeve,
But oh, my words confuse
Your simplistic mind
Like a child
Too meaningful and
Full of emotion
Too raw for your
Shrinking ideologies
Open your stupid little eyes
So you can see
The world I have painted
In your shadow

Hey guys!
I just made a Twitter account for my poetry, and I’m slowly starting to find a few of my Tumblr mutuals on there!
If you have a Twitter account and want to give me a follow, I’ll follow you back!

Exciting news, folks! 🚀
I'm thrilled to announce that my first official poetry book ✨All American Waste✨will be launching on April 4, 2024 on Amazon! Just in time for #poetrymonth and #indieapril 🤍
A little about the book...
"All American Waste is a collection of poetry that you won't be able to put your finger on! Focusing on the struggles of being a young adult in America, and the seemingly futile search to find what is left of the 'American Dream,' the poems within the pages dance from relatable to powerful, and powerful to bizarre. They put the spotlight on the mundanity of everyday life, the importance of mental health, and the beauty of our fragile environment. There is truly a poem for every person in this book!"
