In my consumption of literary works of all kinds, I stumbled upon a series of poems fashioned like Frankenstein's Monster out the one-liners and famous phrases of other literary works. Out of this series of poetry, there were maybe only five lines that were authored by the poet themselves - dancing on obvious lines of authenticity and authorship. Now, this isn't a criticism of what they did, but an homage. Looking at the repetitive things in my own life, my music playlist hit me in the face like a ton of bricks with the word 'INSPIRATION' written on them. And thus, "The Things I Couldn't Say To You"was born. Enjoy. (All lines will be credited in order of appearance at the end of the piece.)

“If you wake up early enough in New York City,
the sky will be purple and nothing will hurt”

Listen, stop trying to be somebody else.

No one knows me like the piano
in my Mother's home.

Man I can understand how it might be
Kinda hard to love a girl like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know

The sun don't shine when I'm alone
I lose my mind then I lose control

Extended works of fiction about imaginary success
The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends
But to a writer, the truth is no big deal

My guy pretty like a girl
And he got fight stories to tell
I see both sides like Chanel

Um, trying to think of the right thing to say

You gotta take it slowly
Take and eat my body like its holy

Don't think about it too much,
too much,
too much,
too much,
This is more than just a new lust for you

He'd say, "L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you're going your own way"

I loved you better than your own kin did
From the very start

Tell me what is it with you
Everything disposable
you don't listen to
Deadroses its Trapsoul and Views now

I may not always love you
God only knows what I ’ d be without you
