I love you like the smell of rain before it falls

I don't want to write poems anymore
I want to say some shit that's true
Something that will make people respond with curled lips and a sigh
No snapping fingers
The only melody to my words should be a conversation with you
Please refrain from astonished thank yous'
I am not a poet
I write poetry 
I hurt the way language needs to be studied


It is easy to forget
Who you are
Where you are from
Where you desire to go

Memory Association piece

Archaic, dusty, faded
You're nothing but a memory
Glass in the shape of cartridges
I want to ride you like Mario rides Yoshi
Find me a golden star
Open the door to innocence after you rescue the frog

Restart
Press X to select

Ancient or Enlightened
They are each one and the same
Never enough memory to fit your heart into
Always deleting another requiem to build new shapes
Like triangles and squares
Nothing round enough to pump the words to twinkle, twinkle
never reaching (star)
Forgotten how green you shine
I've never beaten you b4
The cheat codes don't work in real life
