You do not write poems when you are happy
You write them only when you're miserable
When you are miserable you write poems

I Was Born A Hopeless Romantic
but i've since dropped the "Romantic"
the urge to kiss you
drives me insane,
but that's not even

You change too much,
too soon, too "too"
but never just right
