Always been told
I was wise beyond my years,
but years run faster
than wisdom.

As data amasses,
the patterns diffuse,
until only nature remains.

I remember the blood-rush,
our stretching in yearning,
the hot breath and cold hands
and red deathless kisses.

What choices are there
at crossroads and cliffs -
if I could have,
I would have,
my friend.

Life is a series
of pictures and toys
and they all look old
in the end.
Yes, I know this is super depressing.

Depressing, yes, but good poetry tends to be on the depressive tip. I want to steal your knack for endings. I'm hella impressed with the way you're cutting these newer pieces off. :)
