Whatever

You charge my soul battery
to full capacity
so you can't be mad at me
for wanting to be
in the presence of your personality
I'm fine with
the stolen moments
you spare
and I'll repair
myself with your attention
in those increments
if that's all I can get
Conversations
we have
revive me
and it's needed
because if these dates
I've been on
are the precipice
of more bs
I'd rather it just be us
being whatever we are
doing whatever this is
than attempt
to feign interest
in the non creative
the mundane
and the passionless
those striken with
artistic impotence
It's in vain
they pale in comparison
to you
it's insane
they're solely meant
to make me forget
about how intrigued by you I am
but they've merely cemented it
They're evidence
of your relevance
they give it emphasis
highlighted it
made me focus on it
how bittersweet it is
you're Narcissus
you can't see past your own reflection
to give me credit
Like a stone
you skip the surface
just barely
and don't realize how deep it is
but I keep it in
because one of us has to have a grip
on reality
two artist's minds
like ours
could never coexist
with real world functionality
What seems like you being a heart breaker
is you doing us both a favor
because the world is not equipped
for what it would be
if we did what we
were compelled
if either of us
had what it took in us
to commit to love
and no one is ready
for that
well at least
that's what
I've convinced myself of
