The Life and writings of a Twenty-Something private eye
I’m on a plane to Cali doing something i’d never thought i’d do I guess you can say that my head is in the clouds again but this time in the literal sense Sitting in between a women to my right slaying mimosas saying how excited she is for happy hour at the gaslight, and […]
Read More Change of Scenery (Sunny Sobriety)Th way the pillow caught on fire while we made a sloppy attempt at making love The way the moon looked when we were hiding from beach patrol on an am smoke session The way that you said that you wished you could ball me up and put me in your pocket so I can […]
Read More I Wear All White So I Can Throw Myself Instead of a TowelSometimes the nostalgia takes over my senses and I just wonder where the days have gone I look in the mirror everyday for my hygienic routine But this was the first time in awhile that I actually looked into the mirror Like actually looked at myself I’m twenty-fuckin-five As lost as I’ve ever been Built […]
Read More Instant Karma and Take Out FoodIt’s kind of funny I met someone that reminded me of you the other day In the free spirit kind of way I was on my worst behavior Feeling like I need a savior Only to be escorted out the door And waking up in a stupor I guess this is growing up Owning up […]
Read More Balloon Animals at a FuneralYou’re leaving And I’ve been up for days I’m not fit to have this conversation But I’m the one who initiated it You’re golden And I’ve grown bitter I don’t want to taint this anymore I don’t want you to hate me I’ll give you closure While I lay awake like an open book This […]

Read More Star GazingYou’re everything I’ve ever wanted But what I wanted has been clouded By a spark, a memory The ember of who i’m supposed to be Ignite the darkness of the shadows that I reside Hold my breath, holster my pride I know how this looks on the outside Like I’m leaving you behind Sprout your […]
Read More Attachments of the Heart StringBeen wondering whether or not to take your picture down The one where you pull me in like a vaudeville hook and kiss my cheek I already stashed the two photobooth rolls in the bottom drawer But this one has stayed I question every morning if it’s appropriate to display It’s been three months and […]
Read More Vaudeville- The Curse of the Crescent ClaspThe lamp shade is bent out of shape The room is too bright So I nudge my body til I’m within arm’s reach to turn off the light The night is young, destination untold I feel my lungs collapse and fill up with soul I think of better days and say “I’ll see ya soon” […]
Read More Full Moon for ArcturusThe distance has been killing me slowly From who I am to who I want to be Like nails on a chalkboard Something’s got to give eventually Maybe my eardrums will pop or my heart will explode Either or I’m craving the sweet release The trigger finger relief To feel in control of fate if […]
