Burrie Burrie Me

By: Tyler Ross

Years and Years ago,

a restaurant

in the valley,

we chatted over food.

Superb.

A new friend.

Same University,

more ways to extend

our friendship grew roots.

Television shows and intelligent convos,

laughter and enjoyment kept us there.

So many smiles,

so much joy.

It was easy to be your friend,

even when I annoyed.

You liked me,

then I liked you.

That cycle went on,

even if I played like I didn't have a clue.

Life separated,

then life drew us back in.

Always easy to start back up,

through thick and thin.

You were there for me,

and I for you.

We bonded a lot.

Got closer over the years.

Sex came into our picture

and even more cheers.

You were the most thrilling,

intoxicating and

some trouble.

We started and stopped

and started and stopped.

Closer friends,

I liked you a lot.

But kept my cool.

I think you sorta knew.

Visits became less frequent,

even if I didn't want them to.

Whenever I saw you after,

still

heartbeats like crazy.

With lots of time to think,

fuck,

you got me,

amazing!

Thoughts of you all the time.

Headspace covered.

Devine.

Still, always on my mind.

Still, always on my mind.

Can't shadow your shine.

Only now I reflect,

wondering if we'll ever get back that time.
In my mind.

Love, Awareness & Communication

Love, Awareness & Communication

By: Tyler Ross

I wish more people cared about love; 

expressing it, sharing it and treating others as they would like to be treated. 

Simple, right? 

The human being makes it tougher than it really is 

by coming up with excuses or simply just not expressing it 

to those around them, seemingly most only expecting it. 

Its the year 2016 

and its insane 

to me that people haven’t figured this out already 

or refuse to just let their egos or delusional ways of thinking go. 

There is no excuse. 

Love is incredibly important and should be given 

more to everyone. Communicate responsibly 

and be aware of those around you. 

You don’t have to walk on eggshells 

or be overly sensitive… But people should want to give 

more and communicate better. 

Pay attention. 

Love. 

Love. 

Love.

So, what the fuck?

Living, wishing for the best.

I wish.

I fucking wish!

Completely forgotten

How is it this?

A standout, never

Trying to keep it together.

I see you.

You don’t see me.

I reached out.

You pushed back.

Silence

Always fucking silence!

Repeat. Repeat.

Too many souls

Raised with no manners

So, I pick up my pieces

Heart in tatters

And you expect me to act normal?

No respect!
That’s what matters.

Fuck your excuses
and fuck feeling sadder.
