I. Are. Is.  Why.
Delay the process
Slow the response time
Give it a little more
Run. Rip. Open. Tore
Speed up your steps
Quicken your pace
Skip. Jump. Hop. Elevate
Take it a little higher
Move it up a rate
Fall. Deep. Immerse. Whole.
See past the present
Look into the soul
Question. Wonder. Imagine. Who
Walk on the path
Don’t go astray
You don’t want to get lost  
Do you?

Oh hello
It’s nice to see you there
Have you been watching for a while?
Can you tell me what you see?
Is there something I can help you with?
Is there something wrong with me?

I noticed a smirk
A smile
A impish grin
I wonder what have I gotten myself in

Time is relative
It’s neither here nor there
A day could feel like a life time with the right people
But time is also not fair

But what is fair?
What is right and wrong?
In my eyes it’s 2+2 is 4
In yours it’s 3+1

Like the cosmos
We pass through each others light
Atoms moving so quickly
Racing through the night

So hello
How are you?
Nice to see you there
Would you come over here
Would you dare?

There's beauty in the grey sky
as if it's telling us it's okay to be depressed
it's okay not to be okay
the world, your world will be as it should, as it will
and as it needs to be as you'll survive
just because it's grey outside doesn't mean your soul must die
one day the sun will shine again
and without your soul, you will not feel its kiss on your skin
weary days come and pass
you reach out to friends - to people who care
to share the emotion you so profoundly feel
and you wonder why it seems that everyone's grass seems more green
drip from the sky
water your soul
and you'll be the greenest garden anyone has ever known

Empty.
my whole body is empty.
my heart is sore.

living in a world of dreams
getting broken down
everytime

why

Empty.

When he sleeps at night, he dreams of glorious things.  Things only he knows, he can see, he's created it all for queens and kings.  This night was different ,he could feel it in his bones. Effortlessly he tried to wake to be back in his home.  No matter how hard he tried he could never break through, to escape this dream what could he do?
He walked with Gods, not knowing his place. Wondering if there is more than just a pretty face.  They were so wrapped in beauty, they did not see how much more to life there can be.  He saw deeper than the skin, trying to reach the beauty within.
For days he was lost in a kingdom of ghosts, created by memories of a life he knows. Asking questions, looking for a clue to fid out what he is supposed to do.  Every face he see is perfect, every face is the same. His mind seemed bored, dull and plan.
Among the faces he see a light surrounded by things that give him a fright.
Although he's created this world for himself, something has changed.  Things seem darker, more cold and the people once young have now grown so old.
"Why can't you wake, what did you do, how come no one can ever see you?"
He hears a voice coming from the unknown, asking him why his body isn't shown.
Has has been forgotten. His glory fades, only seeing knowledge instead of being vain.
These Gods don't understand, they do not see, there is more to a person than just beauty.
The dream he created has become his hell,a world full of things no one would sell.  Fake and lame, yet pretty as can be, he now understands why no one can see.
The dream he once loved is for a boy, full of Gods and beauties, nothing more. To wake he must learn the truth.  There is more to beauty and youth.  He'll never truly feel until he knows beauty runs deeper than it really shows.

Yesterday I wanted to see how much you really mean to me
I let you go
Let you walk away
Hoping to see
You starting to walk right back to me

I was wrong

I didnt know
What would happen when I let you go
The last thing I wanted
The last thing I need
Is for you to never return to me

There’s nothing that I would rather do
Than spend the whole night next to you
Doing everything you want me to
Take care of you through and through
I want to dance the night away
Let our bodies dance the sway
Look into your eyes night and day
There’s nothing I wouldn’t say
Except
There’s nothing that I would rather do
Than spend my whole life next to you
Do everything you want me to
Take care of you through and though
I want to make sure you’re okay
Through the night and through the day
Wake watching you just to say
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
To make sure that our love is true
Spend every day proving to you
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you
