anthology

i see this as anthology

of arrivals and apology. 

i need to calm down 

when i can't find you around. 

people mad in love

just turn bad in love,

people forgiven in love

just give fantasies in love. 

i may be in a dispute

this mess isn't too acute, 

three summers aren't enough

as deciphering my love is tough. 

let's not remember the wild 

sorry for the number i dialled, 

let's not collect days of denials 

my shelf has letters of survivals. 

that hurt gave me heart

that heart gave me art, 

that art gave me my start

that start found you as my part. 

this anthology is a story i do defend

this anthology is the love i can't pretend, 

this anthology starts where you and i stand

this anthology ends where parallels disband.
