Liars

I may have lied

When they approached me

Asked me if I wanted to perform my usual brand of heartbreak

I mean, poetry


I said, sure

Like it hadn’t occurred

This drought of words

A taste so obscured on my parched tongue

Everything resembles dust to me currently

A hint of salt in the corners of my cheeks

Streamed with cliche similes

About how we were supposed to be like soulmates or something


Twins baby

You’ve been consuming me since utero

Reflection of yet another reason I have to go

Irish exit before the next gaslit convo


I lied when I said I understood your boundaries meant slowly dissipating into dimly lit shadows of what we used to call loving each other


Did you know you were lying when you claimed this would be our last forever?


Honestly, I miss who we used to be

There is a part of me who thinks we’ll never stop existing in the forgotten corridors of things we gave up on

I think I lied when I said I’m done

With you and your crumbs

Truth is, those crumbs have been the best poetry I have tasted in a while

But I'd be lying if I admit

I could live off the pieces and bits

You keep trying to convince me will one day make you whole again

Classic Feature Recap

-
We had the Vegas streets hype with the buzz of last month's Classic Lineup... And lemme tell you, these folks did NOT disappoint ❣️😍 After a fabulous warm up with some super talented OM Bowlers, we kicked off the feature sets who kept that fire ablaze for almost and hour and a half of straight VEGAS HEAT! What a way to really dive into the summer solstice, 7-0-2 style! 🔥 Ian Sean kicked us off, accompanied by friends like Amy Divine on vocals, Ellijah on acoustic guitar, and Christian on electric guitar. The well-rounded sound of the live instruments really brought life to Ian's performance of his latest triptych album release "Life Love Death." He kicked off our features with a bang, enticing our audience to their feet to rock with him and his friends! SmokeyTone soon followed, rousing the crowd with a spoken word intro of his usual eloquence, peppered with comical asides and clever nuances which begged the reaction, "you had to be th...
