Happy Birthday.

Realize, having cut the cake

To ribbons

We never really had a taste

For fate

To work out

The way

You planned

It never really stood to reason

That saints

Can do wrong

And angels

Can fall

From grace

To a place

That is colored

By

Surrender.

Some such emotion

Is poking my brain

My heart,

However,

Is empty

Your eyes are brilliant

In my reveries

Your smile corrodes

Our history.

Its okay,

Now,

to be distant

Reasons,

Gathered

From drudgery

Fold napkins into shapes of daggers

To mimic

Metaphoric

Fantasies

And hold them high, above your victim

Condemn him

To

Your

Memories.

Trying

At random

To make sense

Of it all

Failing

In tandem

To make amends

For it all

Silently hoping

For it to be easy

Screaming instead

To emphasize

The agony

Realize,

Having had a taste

Of heaven

It’s not meant for you

It’s not meant for me

Your words make me want to crash this party you are having by yourself, for someone else.
You have an uncanny sense of linking words with emotions as if they were meant to be.

And you, have the ability to strip things down to the most bare and raw. You almost physically hurt when you read something so extraordinarily poetic yet so fucking real.

lady: k, your prefference has been suely noted.

Sonia: It ain't no party by one's self. Come on in and we can sulk together.
Thankyou for the compliment. It happens automatically, i feel its more providence than skill.
