kings & queens
L Apr 2013
Tossed into the dark sea,
sank my courage,
sank my hopes,
and sank me.
I was always told as a child,
“the world is full of kings and queens,
who blind your eyes and steal your dreams.”
well I never met a king,
instead, a forced life at sea,
and everything was taken,
far away from me.
maybe my father meant,
that life just isn’t worth it,
or maybe he meant to stay strong?
i think that's *******.

in a world of make-believe,
of paper swords,
and plastic leaves,
there's a fragile creature.

now this creature is something new,
a breath of fresh air,
or a taste of cold morning dew,
he sits alone and hums.

in his imaginary world,
he is known as a hero,
the line between this and reality becomes swirled,
he is trapped.

a new world everyday,
for he reads quickly,
he's a new hero today,
but in reality..
*not really.

oh you called me up the other day,
saying how you'd been missing me,
well yeah i've missed you too,
but we've been so busy finding who we want to be.

you said you weren't free this week,
that's okay i guess,
but my dear friend i've waited so long,
this has turned into a mental test.

"i'm headed into boston" you said,
"then to vermont i go",
i told her then "maybe some other time",
and she said "let's make it so!"

well yesterday came around,
and a quarter to three,
the news came on and i was shocked,
fear took hold and gripped me.

they said it was a bomb that went off,
it was a terrorist attack of some sort,
but i knew you'd be at that finish line,
and my blood ran cold & my breath became short.

i called you up,
to see if you were okay,
you didn't answer the phone,
were you to live another day?

ten minutes later you called me,
with sirens screaming in the back,
i was on the verge of crying,
"i'm so glad you're safe i almost had a heart attack".

you said ten minutes before the bomb,
you had asked your father to take you to eat,
you had been standing right where it went off,
they would've covered your body with a sheet.

we may not see eachother that much,
but i sure as hell know,
that if i ever lost my bestfriend,
i'd have nowhere else to go.

you had a home once,
not sure for how long.
but long enough to grow holes,
and begin to fade.

you were loved once,
maybe by a child,
or and adult stuck in their past.

your family abandoned you once,
left you in a plastic bag.
under their dresser,
to rot.

you were alone once,
for seven years so i've been told.
and you began to erode,
and you began collect dust.

you were found once,
and taken away.
you were cleaned,
and given a new home.

                                               you were loved again.

do you know how to feel,
while not feeling real?
or is even feeling at all,
a real feeling?

can you steal a feeling?
can you feel someone stealing,
your feelings?

is this even comprehendible?

peaches
L Apr 2013
everyone has an aroma,
that of their house or detergent,
that trails behind them,
while they go about their daily business.

you smell like peaches,
and i bet it follows you,
even when you take the trash out,
or go out for a run.

i've never been to your home but i can only think,
                                    *that your house smells like peaches too.

cosmic conflict.
L Apr 2013
my mother always used to tell me,
"you don't have a soul,
you're a person,
you are one."
but aren't i supposed to feel light?
graceful and weightless?
all feel is an anchor,
*holding me and pulling me under.

thanks.
L Apr 2013
telling me i'm worthless,
                   won't make you worth more,
            and telling me i'm a mistake,
doesn't make you less of one.
          and saying i'm disgusting,
                won't make you any cleaner.
and telling me i should be dead,
                  shouldn't make you any happier,
            but it does.
thanks.

who.. why..?
L Apr 2013
who do you think did it?
maybe it was a child,
or maybe a grown man?
a bully in high school back in the 50's?
what about some stoners too high for common sense?
anyone.

but let's just take some time to admire it,
the beauty in such an odd state.
there is beauty in everything,
right?
the tree had already started chipping the paint,
bright blue paint.
and it looked to be eating away at the basket,
the bike looked uncomfortable.
