shihtzu puppies
the only reason
I am friends with her

xxxxx

tension
of past love
lab partners

xxxxx

slowly waking up
and then my heart stops
I'm late again

xxxxx

upstairs neighbors
seem to STOMP
with every step

xxxxx

seams of the baseball
leave their mark
on the pitcher's cheek

xxxxx

face to face
with an old friend
only beers between us

xxxxx

he takes
his jokes with him
to the grave

xxxxx

big black dog
attacks me
a wet slobbery tongue

xxxxx

one sock
stood up
by its perfect match

xxxxx

waking from a dream
so vivid I could’ve sworn
you were here

xxxxx

hands off
I am for show
not for sale

xxxxx

homework
next to my love
now on the floor

xxxxx

my soul mate
the hide-and-seek
champion

xxxxx

forty minute drive
just to find
a pair of pants

xxxxx

silent novel
the things people
don't say

xxxxx

rollercoaster hill
my fingers find yours
in the sky

xxxxx

light saber
slaying the monsters
under my bed

xxxxx

lying next to her
hands are latched
to our phones

xxxxx

sliding down
the slippery slide
she plays with no one

xxxxx

my cat talks to me
I hate the things that it says
it has an accent

xxxxx

eraser marks
hiding what I wish
I had the courage to say

xxxxx
