oh, how
the times have changed
where faces and names
cycle through letters and features
but the roles they play
remain the same

there is love, crawling
up my throat, being torn
from my very lips by admissions
and the faintest morsel of
reciprocation

and there is poetry, always
the slick, slimy poetry,
waxing and waning, but mostly
whining about love lost
and love never gained
and how pathetic an existence
a romantic must live

an edge of violence seeps
through my fingertips as
i claw through these emotions
ripping at them with well placed words
and nights well spent
grasping at straws

and, although i may have
earned my wings
and i may desire to be called adult
i realize that deep down,
in the pit of my heart
where these emotions reside
i am still so much a child

with hands that strain for
the faintest pitter-patter
or soft beat
of reflection, and i realize
oh, how the times have not changed
in the slightest
I AM NOT A POET I DO NOT WRITE POETRY I'M JUST REALLY, REALLY LAZY AND DON'T FEEL LIKE WRITING ANYTHING OTHER THAN REALLY BAD HOMESTUCK FANFICTION

so here have a poem.
