I learn your intricate language
wedged between shapes:
a soft tablet
in need of an impression
with a reed stylus

Healing Love (Song + Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
Everything is just so fucked up
Everything is just so not love
Everything is just fight and fear
Everything is just shoot and smear
Everyone is just a mouth and ass
Everyone has a dark, dark past
Everyone says they’re all for peace
While they drop bombs at children’s feet
Nobody wants to speak an ounce of truth
And they’ll tell you that lies taste good
Anybody with a stand or voice
Will find out it’s not wise to make noise
Even if you’re the right this or that
Eventually they’ll come for your ass
And label you the king of wrong
Then they’ll toss you to a mob before long
[Chorus 1]
’Cause everything is just so fucked up
But you and us
And your love
Your healing love
[Verse 2]
I swear I was just like them
Before you became my very best friend
But now I’m feeling a different way
And I’m feeling like I’ll be okay
I see rainbows in the future now
And a pot of gold when I’m allowed
Your smile makes the sun come out
But I’m the only one who sees that now
[Chorus 2]
So everyone will stay so fucked up
Without you and your love
Your healing love
Your healing love
[Bridge]
I don’t want to be the prophet of doom
Or be blown into a cloud-shaped mushroom
But I got to scream and shout the truth:
[Chorus 3]
Everything is so fucked up
Without you
Without you
Without you
And your love
Your healing love
[Ad lib]

Best Friend (Lyrics + Songs)
[Verse 1]
I wanna show you what you do in my dreams
There’s nothing better than you over me
I could’ve married you yesterday
But you’re married in another way
I shouldn’t tell you what I’m feeling inside
I’m never smiling by the end of the night
[Chorus 1]
Cause you’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
You’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
You’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
Just my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
But I wanna
Yes, I do
But I wanna
With you
[Verse 2]
She kinda reminds me of “Jessie’s Girl”
Her accent even has the same damn swirl
It kinda feels like we’re from different worlds
I hope she realizes that I’m from this Earth
[Chorus 2]
Cause I wanna
Yes, I do
Cause I wanna
With you
But you’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
You’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
You’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
Just my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
[Bridge]
I kinda know that we are meant to be
But you keep looking here and there
And far away from me
And far away from me
[Chorus 3]
Cause you’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
You’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
You’re my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
Just my best, best, best, best, best, best friend
But I wanna
Yes, I do
But I wanna
With you (2x)
[Chorus 4]
So let’s not just stay best, best, best, best, best, best friends
Best, best, best, best, best, best friends
We’re not best, best, best, best, best, best friends
We’re not best, best, best, best, best, best friends
I don’t wanna
With you
I don’t wanna
That’s the truth (2x)
Eternity (Song + Lyrics)
[Chorus]
Ba-Da-Da-Da-Da (x3)
I’ll always love you
[Verse 1]
I knew I loved you on the first day
And I’ll love you for eternity
My soulmate you’ll always be
Even if we drift away
You’re my best friend
Through good and bad
Make me laugh
When my tears are sad
Talk for hours
Then watch anime
Eat some apples in Manali
[Verse 2]
Don’t see the stars
Lighting up the skies
Since there’s a bigger sparkle
In both our eyes
From the very start
It was clear
That we could spend forever
In each other’s stares
From the very start
It was clear
That we could stay like this
For a million years
[Chorus]
Ba-Da-Da-Da-Da (3x)
I’ll always love you
Atlantis (Song + Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
I don’t think that we should sink this
Me and you are not Atlantis
You’re saying not to fight this
But we could be so much more
We could be so much more
[Verse 2]
I don’t think that we should stop this
We’re not meant to be … a myth
I’d rather find a way to rescue this
Too many things get lost at sea
I don’t want that to be us
And I don’t want you to leave us
I just want you to believe in us
So we don’t become history
[Verse 3]
I don’t know if we should lose this
There’s no guarantee that … we’ll resurface
Things that go under on purpose
Don’t always come up for air
I’m know all about Atlantis
But I hope we can save this
I’m not sure about Atlantis
But I think we’ll resurface
Because You Love Me [And Because I Love You] (Song + Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
Anyone who messes with you
Better bring their whole crew
I don’t back down to one or two
Not when I love you
Better bring their gods too
Because I’m bulletproof
When I’m near you
When I hear you
Anyone who makes you cry
Better take a look in my eyes
I’m not standing down
Until I live or die
Anyone who harmed you
Gonna wish they charmed you
I’ll run and punch through walls
If I have to
[Bridge]
I’ll take sticks and stones
I’ll take shoves and falls
I’ll take looks and stares
I’ll take the whole and all
I’ll take the scares and jumps
I’ll take pain and bumps
I’ll take the wounds and lumps
I’ll the take whatever you want
[Verse 2]
Anyone who hates you
Better learn to love you
Cause I’m a bodyguard
To a superstar
Better not try me
I won’t be stymied
It’s worth a handful of scars
To protect a work of art
Anyone who messes with you
Better bring their whole crew
I don’t back down to a few
Not when I love you
Better bring a god or two
Because I’m bulletproof
When I’m not far from you
I can’t be hurt by fools
[Chorus]
Because you love me
I will fight a duel
Because you love me
I’m strong as bamboo
Because you love me
Because I love you
Because you love me
Because I love you
U
I can’t think of you
As anything other than a poem
A place where the best lines meet
Where beauty always breathes
An immortalization of a dream
Unfinished
There are 500 poems, now
That I left incomplete
Some of them
Just without periods
The reason always the same:
I don’t want us to end
