precocious thoughts

as I walk past

lines of yellow roses

lavender

silent

and intimidating

maturing

faster

then it should

now and then

I can see

the truth

beyond the lies

the page

trying to

erase

never mind the questions

there’s no answer for

just the one

horse

she couldn’t break
outsmarted

common sense

you smelled

the wrong roses
I’m a little drunk

on you

high

on summer time

think of me

as un uncharted map
the world is too big

but it’s

always in your heart
keep it with you always
world getting smaller
I know the feeling
you need a new plan
I need a new map
don’t say

I didn’t warn you
I got

under your skin

first

the sky

will not fall
It was full

of anguish

but now

the skies are clear
I don't know how to thank you

red sweatshirt
like

a setting sun

give me a coin
no matter
what side it lands on
it’s someone else’s dime

cursed missed opportunities
ticking clocks
it’s all a sweet whirlwind
of moments

knowing the truth
but still believing the lie
nothing else
compares
what happened?
you Lost

your Dazzle
fool's gold

dirt through

your fingers

run

needle

and the damage done
a rusty hope
In every one
unshaven

and wild
