It's so sad
to be so bad
at what you're supposed
to be the best at
Nathaniel Nov 2021
There were no bodies tonight
There was only fog
Such a deep and ugly fog
Suffocating what little chance we had
Nathaniel Oct 2021
With fists full of wheat pipes
we jump on a whim.
We'll shower the gardens with
gallons of sins.
We wear a posthuman poison
like a three-piece suite.
The love of this generation
is an empty truth.
Nathaniel Oct 2021
We'll make a change.
I'm gonna pack up a case, and never return.
Throw my money at the walls-
in hope of some change.
I'll hang up picture with a frame-
to hold us in place.
A dedication to cause.

Who places this unholy just?
In jest, we all fall prey-
to the cruel being of time.
But there's a small chance-
that she'll hold you close.
Wrap you in her arms-
to turn reality warm.

The streams on your cheeks-
will run dry as clean towel.
The tenseness will fall from your bones-
like a well smoked rib.
We'll let time make the call.
And hope that she treats us well.
We leave our throats in her hands.
Nathaniel Oct 2021
To the being - lost with love.
Bring him some - a healthy dove.
The aching time - I'm lost too.
The arching rhymes - the hopeful few.
Where's my love? Is she born?
I'll crawl through the creek and storm.
To make a wish - rushed but true.
Lead us towards something new.
Nathaniel Oct 2021
Good words.
The kindest thoughts.
The softest kiss can not keep you away.

The depth.
The internal screams.
I fold and my lower ribs break.

You can stay here.
I can never push you away,
but never take the tape from your lips.

I'll live.
Or do the best I can.
My knees are subject to you.

I came to, I think I came to.
I'm out of my shell. I'm feeling government new.
I found peace. In this warful place.
The sirens and massacres hold about my face.
I found me. In a crowded bar. Choking on *****, starring at the stars.

I ******* miss you. Our time is closing.
Please be careful - your confidence is showing. You look like a mess.
With your hair undone.
I look at you and don't know what I've become
