6.7.12I.
I thought these glances
          these smiles
were mine.
But they are yours
             everyone's
             no one's.
It wasn't until someone pointed it out
             my eyes opened.

II.
I thought I was the only one
playing with two sets of heartstrings,
constantly switching tunes
between opposing melodies.
You caught me with deep, thick chords,
and I
reflected in your pale
5.7.12I.
I glance
Doubletake
2 steps forward
3 steps back
hold your gaze
shy from thought:
This no man's land
where I am caught.

II.
'I chose you'
I wanted to sing
to scream through my eyes.
Each glance, smirk, jest, punch-
I thought it was for me.
I should have known better,
It was for you.

III.
Forgive me for leading you astray.
In these last moments
I will try to salvage what we had
then I will fade,
so you can live in the dark
Once more.
4.7.12I.
These seams are tearing
between delight and torture
treating my insecurities
and stroking my ego
in all the right places.

Yet, your presence suffocates.
I keep noticing how you
don't applaud
can't spin a joke
sniff
and laugh
in ways I tell myself
are endearing.

I am only reminded of all I wished
to escape.

II.
New words tumble like mercury
off your tongue.
She calls these profound
You appear to agree;
Spinning truth from pale naivety
and irrationality.

You may never understand,
You may never understand me.
Its the reason I left

III.
The air is suffocating
anger bubbling in my ice box under
these stars where
3.7.12Reading lines in the dark
I learn this name means
Friendship
teaching me the science of
neutrality.
2.7.12I.
"A penny for your thoughts?"
You wish to know
what crosses my mind
as I stare
into lengthening shadows
I'm all too happy to remain
a mystery.

II.
Words tumble off my tongue
ninja rolling into cusses,
hiding insecurities
beneath disjointed slang.
It is only later
in the pauses between my
explanations,
you might see me
as I am.

III.
We exchange
Jests
Punches
Nods
Smirks
Glances
  as strangers whose paths were never meant to cross.

IV.
Imp-Boy raises his thin, clawed hand,
scaly with ex-ma.
He has frizzy hair and a stammering tongue.
1.7.12I.
Hey there shy one, hiding in the corner
Come out and play; come dancing in the light.

II.
Your mind ticks at a pace
much faster than mine.
Can you not hold my hand
as I try to keep up?

III.
Despite your arrogance
            sarcasm
            and abrupt rudeness,

I can relax around you.
You teach me to accept myself
by not apologizing for your faults.

IV.
These words flow
spinning and dancing
like
leaves in the wind
I dance with your soul
our colours mixing in the shifting light
and when there are no words left,
let us weave song from our inadequacies
or sit
in radiant silence.
