I was once like Peter Pan — Beautiful, Boyish, and Unburdened
I surrounded myself with creatures of supernatural beauty
Tinker Bells who would die from lack of attention
I’ve killed far too many fairies with my inattentiveness
Tendency to be away too long
And unwillingness to grow up
Too prone to running away, considered a flight risk, especially on flightless nights where I’ve run out of pixie dust, and can’t manage to find any happy thoughts
My Neverland was more like never call, never showing enough affection, never going to give you up, always going to let you down
And that’s the Hook dug so deep in us as to make us inseparable even through the tik toking passage of time
You were always behind me, and so I knew you like I knew my own shadow
Without you I’ve lost my marbles, and forgotten how to fly
I swear I loved you like Peter loved Tiger Lilly, or Wendy, or Jane, or any of those nameless mermaids
I lost my North Star, and now I can’t find my way home
I just need one more kiss
I’ll even give you a thimble to protect your heart

I Wrote A Book, So What?
I wrote a book, so what? "Love Poems to Girls Who Don't Text Back" is my debut project that is the culmination of years of life experiences, intense emotions, and art. This book means everything to me, and absolutely nothing to you. Therefore, it’s my job to convince you of why you should buy, or at least read my debut poetry book (it’s free with Kindle Unlimited).

So, I told myself I would actually finish more poems this year, and I would actually post more completed pieces (ones not intended for future published books) onto vocal. So here's one of those. I will say this is version 3, but just posting this has made m want to write a 4th revision. ANYWAY, thanks for reading.
