Another one.

Some journey in a game of dating.

By Le'Jon Gonzalez Published 4 years ago 1 min read

Jones told me to remember this feeling

eyes dilated running across the ceiling

a challenge to be exquisitely pleasing

but they catch the express to experience something more dominating

she said shut up you’re overcompensating

too much then too little it’s invigorating

plastered to a device and scrolling

call it social desynchronizing

who’s to trust when they’re all evaporating

both itching for differences so no hookup

didn’t care to text why I think we just gave up

arrive slightly on time like hey boy sup

questioning everything about him became just my luck

my body displayed art but he didn’t give a fuck

sips tea alone after the date totally stuck

somehow I electrified him yet I’m feeling like an ugly duck

Whataburger forgot my onion rings now I’m saying they all suck

the privileged first world still with a funk

loaded with anticipation shocked in failure

try again and again crying to Jesus for a matchmaking tailor

second-guessing whether his father is truly my savior

crying loudly on the floor by the refrigerator

someone banging at my door I think it’s my neighbor

neighbor says shut up and figure it out on some graph paper

why’s everyone turning into an insignificant dictator

reverted to God saying thank you for voiding the incinerator

almost totaled my car a minute later

4:44 in the morning and I’m not tired

skin tight and smooth I’m one to desire

passions set sail in dreams but only once admired

just like the rest, he knows how to make someone feel fucking expired

whirl around a corner on heavy blame

journey to find love seeming untamed

the devil claimed me by claw and fang

numerology keeps me sane engulfed in ylang

dial tone click like thank you next I profusely sang

love poems
