How To Love the Antisocial OR: For Me
1
I have heard
love
is finding your missing
pieces in others.
Well, loving you
is loving a cigarette
Everyone knew
you wouldn't last forever
and everyone
said you'd kill me,
but I would for damn sure
love you until the end
2
When I first saw you
Your hair was
a flurry of ash
(or sunflowers
or leaves in autumn)
your eyes were stolen
from a bird of pray
and your skin
was a riverbed.
You were more natural
disaster than woman
and you knew it
When I first saw you,
you were lost
in a dream
of yourself

I've come to slam today
and to hear what you have to say
But children, I'm not impressed.
I was planning on telling you
About a stupid,
ingrown
kid
who thinks in bad poetry
(and sees the beauty in
the impure and broken)
With no lies,
No theatrics,
and no being a
Fucking Showoff
but,
in this crowd,
that won't sell
(and who am I to take time
from your nonsense)
So,
Whilst looking pretentious,
I'll start by saying; my family is shit,
or some other apt metaphor.
Maybe I'll tell you how
the antipsychotics taste

We are the

and,
to build the world,
together
put.
"She's not yours?
Or she won't be!
Don't you want her
or, someone?"
"God knows
I
Want..."
But no.
No.
No. No. No.
That

nor mine.
Ours

I want words to flow

As free and unbound

But,
the answer is no.

It's finally talking time
but my mouth's
full of daises,
begonias, pansies,
and sunflowers.
Yet, of the hours
I've spent down south
I'll always make the climb
to see that field.
Not for me,
but for the jasmine and red roses.
And despite the taste of leaves
I regretfully left,
They
ARE
Your roses!
They grow only for you.
The lavender in your bones
burns my eyes and
tears at my skin
Because,
believe it or not,
into my mind she weaved

I wrote this poem

so I have
a steady foundation
under my feet,
to give me
the strength
to stop leaning

you accepted

I suppose
being raised on

of women who

that you
were missing
that would explain
all of my

i.
begin to wean yourself off of
responses
and social stimulation
until the frame of your social structure
becomes akin to
hummingbird bones.
ii.
your composure will stretch thin
across your cheeks
and the shadows sleeping
between your gaunt cheekbones
will begin to look like bruises—
rousing piteous looks from
acquaintances,
for all the wrong reasons.

So, I don't really know how this is supposed to work.
hmm,
I guess I was encouraged to join this site by a friend. "It will get your work out there" etc etc etc. For the record, I hope my work is scarcely seen. All I want is maybe some critical analysis and maybe some tips to get better. Not much to ask, no?
