Not who I am

What now?

In the calm of this disaster

The pacing of time between ‘it’s over’ and ‘your call’

What now?

In the minutes like hours

Where sleeping’s a memory resting on your shoulder

What now?

You said friends

As if that ever happens

I said sure

As if I was…

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

Ms bunny... i'm usually one

Ms bunny... i'm usually one to say oh we'll always be friends...but really....that's because people go around thinking no hard feelings means the same as "friend"...and it doesn't. Friends are a whole lot more than just "no hard feelings" and in fact....most times they GO through periods of hard feelings like its nothing. Thats why their friends, right??

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

Because it says--I said,

Because it says--

I said, "sure".... as if the writer were unsure...as if the answer was not really authentic...as if a 'friend' friendship were a step down from a romantic relationship. Otherwise don't people usually say "of course, we'll always be friends"--???
