Muscle Poems

Today, complete selfishness 

Married itself. 

Who gives a shit? 

To be married 

To yourself 

And another human being is 

The biggest risk. 

And then, 

To want to stare at 

Faces all day. 

At night, we party 

Our whole lives away. 

The written speech  

Doesn’t get spoken. 

Then you know 

Feeling gets first place. 

It takes up the whole space. 

What was that you 

Really wanted? 

Someone who knows themselves… 

Digging deeper meant to me 

That I wanted to know everything 

About and outside of me. 

I was therefore 

Easily seduced. 

Tell the Truth! 

This is something that 

Can hurt me. 

Tell them not to do 

It to you anymore. 

You’re rewriting the script  

And if you allow it, 

If you allow it, 

Make sure you know the door. 

I know 

It can’t be as scary as the pattern, 

But, 

What came from before 

Can happen 

In a worse form. 

You are responsible 

To the future, forevermore. 

Our love started to forge 

In the path of pain. 

The best kind of love. 

When we learned how to 

Overcome it, 

There was no more 

Reason to complain, 

The reality is that we only 

Love each other the more. 

One day, 

And in all the time it takes 

To get there, 

You will see someone 

Playing your music so brilliantly, 

And without the same score. 

The gratitude you will feel 

Will 

Make the music in your own heart soar. 

And there’ll you Be. 

Going after, 

And from coming before, 

A happier movie 

Forevermore. 

In bed, with toes 

Like yours.
