algernon's bouquet

some instances

deserve no words

and some words

deserve no instance

can you not see

in front of you
behind you
and ahead?

i wish i could go back

to the times where i was

at my most beautiful

i wish

you could have seen me

at my most beautiful

or was it only

you didn't want me

at my most beautiful

most of the time

i think, i should stop thinking about it

but then i remember

in order to tell myself

to stop thinking

i must have thought it in the first place

i realize
without having to realize it

my only desire

was to keep you

at your most beautiful.
