Numb

I can't cry
Because this pill
Won't let me
So please don't
Call me cold-hearted
Just call me
Medicated

BFF. u.

Just friends is one way
To disguise the "won't say"
And not ready is fleeting
For a girl who is retreating
Because promises don't last
And people fade that fast
So forgive my push to ready
Such a life that moves unsteady
And even though I know it
The future just won't show it
So I suppress the whys and how
For the friendship in the now

Driving to Tallmadge

It was 3:44 a.m.
I bought gas, Doritos
And a smoothie drink.

Because I couldn't buy happiness.

Time Response

There is no tick, tock for the beat of heart
There is no solid ending for an invisible start
And the joke of time will trick the broken
Convince the wise to chase the unspoken

My embrace personifies the confusion of time
And uncertainty makes me toggle rewind
Beliefs are little more than the second hand
The pieces in between that make time stand

Alarms remind me time can be so urgent
So monotony must then have a resurgence
Because God forbid I waste one moment
On spontaneous feelings, a worthy opponent

Ticklish

Don't tickle me
Not even my fancy
I don't like being
Out of control
Of how my body
Responds to intrusion

Don't tickle me
Not even my fancy
I don't like appeasing
Any random John or Jane
With a genuine grin
That wasn't deserved

Don't tickle me
Not even my fancy
I don't like attaching
A happy expression
To a stupid action
That has no emotion

Don't tickle me
Or fuck me.
We both know I wasn't talking
About tickling anyway
