The Vow


Write the
Perfect
The perfect
Words
For her
Because
All your friends
Are watching
Your one time
To truly
Confess
Profess your
Love

Notes
I scribbled
Down
In my pocket
As I look
Across
My counterpart
Holding the
Flowers
Her eyes
Looking
At me

And the
Three weeks
I've thought of
This
Well
Honestly
I've been
Thinking
Of this
Since
I was
Born

All conjured
In my mind
Just waiting
For her
The perfect
One
To read it
To
The vow
My vow

And no
This isn't
Like the movie
Because those vows
Are Hollywood
And this
Well this
Is real life

You can't script
This
Ever
But the
Words
Start flowing

And you
can Hear
A pin drop
Because all eyes
Are on you
Myself

So I
End
And seal
This vow
With a kiss

Promising you
Everything
With it

We Are Young


We Are Young

And at
8:30 this
Morning
Huddling over
A toilet
Truly exposing
Myself
While trying to hide
My inner
Emotions
As they're
On the seat

Another long
Night
But not the
One you'd
Think
For it's only
Thursday

And if I could
Use a drink
I would use
One right now

Work on the
Heavy
And phone calls
For traded positions
States away
Upgrade in dollar
Signs
Downgrade in
Distance

Noon thirty
To come soon
Reports due
But the biggest
Report
My life
A decision
To accept
Or
Decline

And as my
Sleeve serves
As a handkerchief
For my eyes
Rinse my mouth
In the sink

My phone
Buzzes
Her
As I speak
Softly
She tells me

She's not
Going anywhere

Refreshing
Reassuring
My no longer
Blood shot
Eyes
Tighten
My tie
Winking
At my smile
In the mirror
Knowing what
I have to
Do

Unknown Thoughts


Unknown Thoughts

Every so
Often
There's
A moment
A second
In time

When you
See
Into the
Future
With someone

As scary
As it
Sounds
It's a
Moment
That will
Change
Your life
Forever

A pretty
Girl
Dating
A few months
If not
More

And graduation
A few weeks
If not
More
Away

And just
A dress
For her
On a hanger
Perfectly
Picked out

To be
Tried on
Getting
A preview of
Upcoming
Attractions

Only to
Walk out
Stunningly
Jaw dropping
And most
Importantly
Beautiful

And in
That moment
That
Second
Without
A thought
Idea
Or hesitation

I know

That's the
Girl
I'm going
To marry
