too busy chasing lines

& wasting too much time

Not figuring out our lives

neglecting our husbands & wives

ditching our nine to fives

& drinking til sunrise

with tired & bloodshot eyes

we are not the good guys

leaving would be wise

if I could cut some ties

& take a step aside

& kiss these vibes goodbye...

a clear morning that was ever so bright

our eyelids could not stay closed or shut tight

yellow beams seen through the sheer curtain seams

time for a coffee, with a little cream

Stepped outside to feel the warmth from the rays

pondering what decides the type of day

Peaceful breezes pass by, they set the mood

bonded over shared sadness, now a sense of comfort and happiness.

Our silences are so loud

Obsessed yet distant

We’ve planned all this out, but are you sure?...

28 years around the sun,

meaningful accomplishments: I have none.

28 years around the sun,

cotton candy skies,

all problems at hand

The early bird's song

occurs before the catch of the worm;

to remind us that your happiness & peace of mind

should always come before work. ...

As I stare at this knife

pondering how I could use

a better lover in my life

I gaze above,

at Selene

then glide the blade

down my sleeve

& as my blood starts slowly dripping,

through its flow,

I request this from her glow-

Traditions breaking

genders competing

money made

money spent

finances studied

responsibility evaluated

head of household? only one

decisions discussed

competitive spirits

and the sense of stubborn righteousness

Happiness suffers

Love changes

when purpose clashes...
