some things in life

are not meant to be

forever, indelible, fucking

incredible, instead

they're always moving,

flowing and we should stop

trying to force them

into being. All we

do is break our own

hearts over barren

expectations, yielding

no fruit but

eternally endeavoring

through and endless desert

two stumbling steps

My heart beats

like a palindrome

the same way forward

as it does back.

But I have always believed

there is no

going back, just

life's most pointed lessons. 

Life is so unfair

Wish I didn't still feel you
