@mayer_erin @nypl Erin,
I came across your poetry article on bookriot and wanted to speak to you more about it. I am a young writer looking for opportunities to impact the field of poetry. I hope to hear from you soon.
At funerals I never cried
Never said goodbye
Never held my head down
Never looked to the sky
I just took a walk to the mirror to take a look at this guy
And in my eyes I see the ones I love inside

I know this one girl who runs through the fields of my mind picking dandelion
Sheโs makes wishes to kill the time
And my greatest wish is to kill time
So her and I could fade into infinity

Amateurs make decisions based on feelings not commitment
Iโm leaving that space
Separating from them
Iโm not a janitor but Iโve been working so hard I might as well have the keys to the gym
-crwii
Crazy how you went from lost in my arms to raising arms into conflict
Off a hunch you dispose of everything we accomplished
Who ever knew our last happy day would come so quick
Explosive, my heart like the tar it soaks in
-crwii
I hate to see you lose the battle of tears
Your face flooding while your heartโs on the ground
I take your hand and around we dance
Out to the terrace where I tell you life isnโt always going to go the way you think it should
But I promise the heart of life is good
