Favorite Quote:
"The worst crime is faking it." -Kurt Cobain


You’ve the brilliance of a blazing star

over which it’s too easy to obsess.

Intoxicatingly golden you are

like the sun, impossible to posses.

Past hopeless, the blind romantic that’s me…

the tortured poet trapped inside my head

is taken beyond rationality.

and has confessed every word I have said.

When making things into more than they are

in time, they will become more than they were.

Realness and image are apart so far

the truth of you is a bright golden blur.

I am doomed to perpetually hold true

romance I gave to the image of you.
