Love's Life (Laces Achilles

There’s been so many chapters that I blacked out 

Some I didn’t feel up to it, others, I just had too many doubts 

I was too lost in my dreams to be in anything real 

Other times, too cold to make the moment still

I feel deeply but one too many times I do the opposite of my feelings 

Frowned instead of smiling 

Talked instead of listening 

Fold my arms instead of opening them 

And most important, stood instead of hopelessly falling 

Maybe I am just addicted to the wrong feelings 

And fleeing rather than staying is my basic instinct

I build castles like bob the builder 

But breaks bricks unprovoked like Mario

I want more but not all 

I want naked poetry but don’t stay long for the ending 

I don’t want to be around when it starts getting boring 

I want it, I want us to fluent in bed play, cuddling till night turns day 

Yes I am 

The Hopeless 

The same man with a sign that says, Stay Away
