A two-person poem between me and a guy I like. Every first line is me, every second line is him.
(2013)
This is not about the first time we met, but about our first real conversation, in the science lab. This is what I thought he was thinking...
They say you can’t fight fire with… but I would. Because my flame would rise higher than yours could. Because you would be damned, conde…
Lighting the matches Sneaky arson at midnight Watching houses burn. The loudest silence No one talks, or even moves
My first crush moved away, the summer before third grade, but I didn’t cry then. My parents beat me up,
Dancing in the night, Eating up what people throw in. It’s impossible for me To act like I’m invisible. I can destroy,

Fallen idols, another one bites the dust, watch them fall, like a statue

Save me, I’ll be waiting for you to show up at my door,
Looking at that picture in my yearbook, the one of us, from January, in the science lab,
It’s nice, knowing there’s someone… You’re the only one who knows what… And I know you don’t know why I’m… But I loved being able to talk, a… No one else understands why I cry…
You said I’m funny like that, but I know it’s not true, You’re only saying that so I’ll laugh,
