4 AM EST

4 AM EST

A Poem by Oliver Lee

I long for you 
and longing is not the same as wanting 
and wanting is not the same as needing 
but I feel all three towards you 
God, what I would give to be independent and self-assured

I am f*****g stupid 
and I know I am 
yet I can't stop myself from feeling 
And I only feel regret after I do it
instead of stopping myself from doing it in the first place

I am a fish, beached on the shore
kissing death with scaly lips
this poem is the taste of water filling the holes in my chest 
gasping for air 
or water? 

This poem is a redundant piece of s**t
If you don't understand umbrella metaphors
and s****y 4AM letters that you'll never see 
for as long as I live

Damn, I f*****g love your stuff, it's so different than most people.
Like that moment that the first person swore in Star Trek because it's on Netflix.
Different, and f*****g cool.
