1:44am

words are fucking with me

writing about you should not sound pretty and well put together

I have run out of convenient phrases

so describing you is reduced to stupidity

I am reduced to sounding like a gotdamned idiot

a poet without much concern over rhyme and/or pattern

I am a mute reduced to expressions

each finger broken and I cannot scribble

yet I am reduced to scribbling

and left to search for complex adjectives

I am but a grain of sand

stuck in somebody’s soul

and every right step crushes me to sheer madness

clever organization of words may due for others

but for you it’d be fake and I’d want to motherfucking hurl my rhyme book

into a searing pile of shit

a poet reduced to shit

eloquence gone like shit

a love poem filled with shit,

which you are totally unlike may I just say

I could not possibly do you justice

but giving up would be cowardice

so I apologize

but you are too good to be captured in empty poetry

and too real to me to be verses

words are fucking with me

but the inability to write a simple love poem fucks with me more

poetic hypocrisy
