No drafts and no regrets.
Never look back.
F*ck the past.
I'd rather die.
*****
Two, zero, eight.
Count the messages -
Not that it's possible
But maybe that's just fate.
Planned space of plants, cultivate
Love in purest form
In memoriam M.A.
And the bitter silence we hate.
Two, one, four.
Count the direct ones -
Index what's left of our history
Hidden behind locked doors.
Fountain icon, innuendos
Maybe for some, too far
In memoriam M.A.
The bodyguard and the mafioso.
Two, two, seven.
Count the smiles of words -
Think back to exact moments
Server count just off eleven.
White flags torn by wars of lust,
Bring in the spectating admin
In memoriam M.A.
And perceived eternal trust.
Three, zero, six.
Count the raindrops in the lobby -
A city and name in a voice call
Where a smile is all that sticks.
Eurobeat and rhymes marked down,
Bring in mutual friends
In memoriam M.A.
As the happiest in town.
Three, zero, eight.
Count the O's and hands I own -
A multitasker and musician
For schoolwork always late.
Top hats and severed heads,
Some words to make you smile
In memoriam M.A.
And the spark that's flickered dead.
Three, one, four.
Count the proper punctuation -
A vent, a rant, a ramble
And urge to kick down a door.
Alicorns with red manes
Join forces to settle scores
In memoriam M.A.
And constantly shifting names.
Three, one, six.
Count the hours that progress -
A farewell and a greeting
And best reference to pick.
Hurricanes and space dragons,
Smile at the emerald moniker
In memoriam M.A.
And remnants of truthful passion.
Three, one, seven.
Count the tears accompanying smiles -
Ask how I am so easily
Earn italicized confession.
Before long, all emotions melt,
A damn given for my own
In memoriam M.A.
And whatever else we felt.
Two, one, four.
Count double for the year -
Reach out on your own terms
Call on your own accord.
Minds hide in their own abstraction,
When one attempts but never tries
In memoriam M.A.
For us, the Main Attraction.
