i chose stairs over the elevator

as i wanted leaving you

to take as long as possible

things are always better in the morning she said

i laughed a feign reply

as whiskey danced across my temple

and the last skerrick of a joint burnt a flume through the dark air

as her hair curled through my fingertips

i couldnt imagine things being better than this

and began a prayer

that the morning would never come

the best thing today could ask for

is tomorrow

lightness of a snow filled night

new year’s draws

the end of another lays down at our feet

it shall pass softly

under the snow

i have such little desire these days

for these days

given enough time

ill slip slowly away

into the pleasurable darkness

this is not me asking anymore

this shall just be the facts

i have tried so hard the past few years

to enjoy your company

to understand what it takes to be loved

and with every new day

every new understanding

i roll over and realize

not all men

are built to be loved

let me take these moments to leave you

so as I can return to you for a lifetime

nothing more than a softly folded piece of paper

pre/blank

awaiting your words

post/pen

the strangest thing happened whilst i was out there trying to find myself

i got lost

and stumbled blindly

upon you
