Moon.

Some nights you let yourself believe
that you are nothing more than a crescent moon;
But you are so much more alive
than even the whole damn night sky.

The Certainty of Uncertainties

How many times does he have to answer your questions
with the uncertainty of “I don’t know,”
before it sinks in that he doesn’t know what he wants?
& how many times until you realize
you could be just another one of those uncertainties?
My Dear, you deserve finality carved with a security like you’ve never known.
Of that I’m certain.

Stand.

The ones who stand behind you
are the the ones who deserve to stand next to you.

Lesser.

I have a hard time deciding whether or not
you are smiling
because it’s the lesser of two evils.

Tears stream in summer

Gazing at the warm sad sky

Childhood seen in stars

Young.

Cry when you mean it.
Run until your lungs ache.
Begin like you’ll never quit,
and bend like you’ll never break.

Reach.

Sometimes,
No matter how far you reach
or how hard you try,
Some things are just out of your grasp;
out of your control.
Let them go.
Let it be.
