It feels like the high

after hitting a perfect crescendo,

the final note of a symphony,

the last riff of a guitar solo,

the hum of an amp after the last strum,

the lights dimming at the end of a concert.

Whatever happens next, it doesn’t matter.

Because at least

someone will read these words

and know?—

for once?—

they’re mine.

Today 1:21 PM

Shoulda spit the details / pre the derail /

now I’m textin’ this / confessin

My heart bails on fairy tales /

mind all hails to one obsession

I inhale the ‘me n’ you’ /

exhale transgression while undressin’

I break hearts with no intention /

just a side effect of methods

Reign-man wired me / to never need /

connection or affection

Maybe Crazy’s rainin’ / Baby /

detachin’ after satisfaction

Years of people pleasin’ / loved ones leavin’ /

‘til I’m seizin’ what I need

They all leave me / on cold streets an’ /

now I’m seekin’ selfishly

Some believin’ / this heart’s less when /
