POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Hmm…I don’t think I’d consider myself a poet exactly, but I think I’m kind of a creative writer of sorts?
so...
I might have a crush on my best friend.
I've known them for a fat chunk of years now.
A long time ago, we agreed that we didn't have feelings for each other, despite, getting close unexpectedly. Things...I guess, can change a bit after enough time has passed.
But I'm gonna have to dig a little into my feelings first before I do anything rash.
It could just me projecting onto someone because I feel lonely.
And, I want to get into a relationship because I like someone, not just cause I feel lonely, right?

The same old recipe,
This is how it’ll go:
You’ll call me A-to-Z
I won’t get a word in, never.
It’s just a puzzle piece, yeah
Bet you believe it tells you everythin’
Only if you knew, you wouldn’t believe...
[pre-chorus]
So,
You be callin’ me your honey,
But I know that at the parties,
You bet her type tastes so good
Tell me that you really want me,
Could be in it for the money,
It’s alright ‘cause you love me…
[refrain]
Sugarcoat,
Won’t you tell these...

Hey again lovelies~
So uh…..it’s definitely been a minute….
But hi :)
This little goober is baaaack >3<
Turns out, I’ve been inspired by another Kpop song so I’m gonna start working on that.
To whoever had read my stuff before, hello again 🙃 And to anyone who hasn’t given two ducks about me till now, why hello 👋 I’ve written my own English interpretations of Kpop songs for a couple of years now (cause I can.)
Nevertheless, it always feels like a full circle moment whenever I come back here because each time I’m a different person,...

..there was always a fragile sweetness in your eyes,
in the way they touched me.
a warmth in your fingertips that buzzed electricity,
and dazzled in my soul like a fire
from a simple tea candle,
that caught the wide-eyes,
of quiet, childhood wonder.
it laid bare,
in those moments in sacred subway lights—
the hollow, desolate tunnels that carved out
caverns of our deepest, darkest adventures
without waking up the sleeping dragons,
of 8 hour jobs
and mediocre lives.
but even the echo...

you are all i ever wanted.
There is one lyric in a song I've been listening to nonstop that is so simple, but it sums up my feelings for you perfectly:
"All I want to do is to be with you."
Of course, it's natural that one who loves another would want to be with that person. But, it's all about context, right?
For instance,
Do you know how painful it is to see you laugh and smile so easily with another girl?
Do you know how hard I try to make excuses just to talk to you alone?
Do you know how much I long to sit close to you...

when it is time to let go.
Are you really doing okay?"
...is what I want to ask her.
Well, she might as well continue to be, anyway.
Because, when you're at work, that's how one should appear--especially to colleagues that you don't speak to outside of the office.
Feelings are only reserved for those that you truly trust, but one's co-workers aren't hired to be friends for life. The primary goal of being co-workers is that you should cooperate to get the job done. To achieve this goal, you must maintain steadfast relationships with them.

Hurt
My hands feel so rough.
Fingernail beds. Landfills of filth.
My soles dripping hot tar,
So easy, they fall-off-the-bone.
Hornets congeal in the cocoons,
Where butterflies used to be.
The stench alone, poisons ten thousand trees.
No, I don’t want to be the one to get hurt.
The Earth could be fuming,
With the daring veracity of its own mantle,
Cracked up like a rotten child,
Sizzling its flimsy chicken skin
To blacker than burnt,
But...

Stagnant
A trivial trial.
Her skin,
Stretching,
Spotted,
And slumping stagnant over Earth.
For each night marked a new year,
Where she could never sleep.
Even observers,
Have doubts of worthiness
In the gallant giver’s story.
Curled up in closets, the shadows
Enveloping her,
Caressing her.
Distance of kin
Too close to even consider her.
Why, out of all,
Do we move on, the way we do?
Where are the blessed words,
To describe the silence’s sound?
Slipping away soundlessly, ...

I can’t for the life of me talk to people
What else am I supposed to say?
I really can’t. Period.

Okay, okay fine.
If I’m being frank, people who have hobbies other than internet usage are people that I seriously can’t relate to. I mean, I thought I could relate to them, but I guess I can’t.
When I got my first job, I had to get acquainted with my coworkers, and before this I’d never talked to anyone who wasn’t hooked with either gaming, anime or binge watching shows. (Even my parents love YouTube and Netflix like their second child.)

My name is,
v.1/
Woah, baby.
When did you, slide right into my lane?
Pause, replay.
A look-see near the back door,
Soon the tip of my tongue tasted like your last drink.
\pre-ch\
Can’t breathe, can’t seem, to speak,
When you’re onto me.
Against the wall, fingers reach in between.
You wanna believe that this is it,
You wanna believe all along I needed this.
Ooh~
/ch/
When every word you whisper washes over mine,
It don’t even matter if I wanna know why~
As soon as you knew it,
If I was...

3 years (ish) and counting :)
Hey lovely stranger~
In about 4 days now, my profile will be officially 3 years old!
It's not an extremely substantial amount of time, but I felt like making an anniversary post because I think this is the longest time that I've kept a hobby alive lmao
So why not give a mini-celebration? :D
Before this, I created my first account, 'wizkatfood', about 4 years ago, which to this day, I still have no idea why I freaked out, deleted it, then started this one. But, I'm glad I did whatever I did, because I'm still on here, expressing...

when my coworker is a girl,
Each day that I go to work, I wake up, drink tea, take a shower then ride the bus. Every morning is like this, every morning is constant.
For some reason though, I had felt this imminent dread when I woke up. I forgot to drink my tea, I barely took a shower, and I was so close to being late for the bus.
When I kept going through the motions of messing up almost every part of my routine, my head was still so far out removed from what I was doing because I couldn’t stop thinking about you.
Once I finally walk through the doors to the office and I see you...
