MISTAKES
There are big mistakes
And then there’s
His ex.
There are big mistakes
And then there’s
His ex.
BAGGAGE
He thinks
He can handle
Her baggage,
With time
He’ll understand
How wrong
He’s been.
He thinks
He can handle
Her baggage,
With time
He’ll understand
How wrong
He’s been.

IN LOVE
Anyone can fall in love
It’s staying in love
That’s truly special.
Anyone can fall in love
It’s staying in love
That’s truly special.

IN A HEARTBEAT
He's damaged
But not dead
And if you were
To have told him
Years ago
That that's where
He'd be
Right now
He would’ve
Taken it
In a heartbeat.
This poem first appeared in Alien Buddha Zine.

THE BITTER TRUTH

Stay away
From beautiful people
With big baggage
Things are bound
To end
In tragedy.
