Smokin' THC not *** nor DMT with an EMT on the PCH and I'm feeling GREAT Oh Lord, I won't get the answer tonight Because the question needs to be right Not Why, but to know HOW And that's why I took for a drive... Smokin' THC not MET, nor OXY in NYC on a balcony with company and I've known people to hurt their bodies Sometimes and that's why I took for a drive... So long! I really got so far so far from them addicts Oh Lord, I won't get the answer tonight Because the question needs to be right Not WHY I need to know how...all this time... searching for why always been wrong, so long, so far gone To search for why is what grips the sand But how will get me to understand How to Love, and I drive for love Smokin' THC on the M.I.C. treated VIP like an MVP cause I'm singing for Love Oh Lord, give me the answer tonight Ganesha, give me a smart place to run Oh sky, Give me the strength to fly

TLA
i see you standing there unreachable untouchable untasteable. we sit here with our monstrous separation, alone writing our futile love stories on paper napkins and after we are done, all that remains of our coffee shop romances, our abandoned dreams, is the ashes and dust of one-hundred frigid fireplaces. even though they weren't quite so hopeless as we guessed. we encourage when maybe we are the ones who need encouragement. we belittle when maybe we ourselves have been belittled. herein lies a lesson in division in solidarity in passion in apathy in futility in conquering the ******* stars. i stand here as i stand there and you are the gap that lies between myself. one for one, a sobering realization that inebriation still isn't everything. remove the labels we cast and everything is uniquely similar we are people! unity already exists, we just told it not to. similarly unique, yet not individually so. nothing happens; without its first prompt.

the stars, they can be reached, and they are just like us
let me know when you come home because i'm tired tired of waiting tired of watching tired of just sitting on the sidelines tired of your flirtatious boredom tired of showing you all you need is here and watching as you're hurt again and again. so i'm sorry but i cant stay awake any longer so close the door softly when you come inside kiss my forehead and try not to wake me as you settle in bed just let me know when you're ready to come home

When You Come Home
i'm sorry that i'm not smart enough to change even though i said i would. human nature is one hell of a drug.

Breakups are Overdoses
the world is waking up to a new light a rejuvenating warmth spring that perfect temperate time without the searing heat of summer and winters frigid climes a beautiful renaissance in nature green buds sprout from tips of trees 15 years before your gentle breezes and light, warm air cradle me as I come into the world

spring
Love a girl who writes,           and live her many lives;           you have yet to find her,           beneath her words of guise. Kiss her blue inked fingers,           forgive the pens they marked.           The stain of your lips upon her—           the one she can't discard Forget her tattered memories,            or the pages others took;            you are her ever after—            the hero of her book.

Her Words
'goodbye' is such a hard concept to grasp

goodbye
When i first met you near north on the compass i was awestruck by your openness and grace so evident by this first chance meeting. i was hooked within the month. that's always how its been for me, i fall in love easily. simply terrified, i didn't know what to do what to think i had never felt real love true love boundless love to the infinity that i did with you. and it took a while, but i finally built the courage to tell you how i felt and that's as far as i got for a while. i was naive i didn't know that silence means go away or that it could be intended as a mercy leaving would have been smart but wisdom and love don't always mix opposing magnets, they are both positive. and so it came to pass, that several long months later in the warmth that told of goodbyes i asked you out and you made me euphoric when you whispered yes but i was shattered when your fingers wrote no. and that was all i could hear, for the remainder of the year your 'no' scattered amongst sympathetic refuse and broken glass... i waited and lied and silently cried hiding behind this mask of a smile that was never really mine. to this day, you are my friend and to this day, i cant blame you for anything because heartbreak, like a doting child follows you wherever you run no matter how hard you try to escape. ill always be here for you, even if i can barely look at you, because the only true remedies for wounds like these lie in distance and not in polyromanticism

Wounds Like These
the sky fell and the atrocious tendencies of this world came to me in a dream why is cruelty so innate?

Human Nature
Let's break all the tension with the pretense of my presence. Yes, I'm insensitive--but there's no other incentive others can give-- And while I'm not sure I could prevent it, I swear to no god I'm inventive! Yes, My hatred is incessant--ever present--and it's what I hold most sacred. I'm a naughty narcissist with a nasty list of wasted kisses, And I won't say that I'll miss 'em, 'cuz I'm the type who never misses. I'm a hopeless romantic with a new sense of Tantric hope, It's the antics of a frantic mind, but I'm too calm to cope. They say I'm a raving, violent--rarely silent--tyrant with a craving for the obscene, Though, while I'm mean, I'm rarely seen within a mob or in a scene. I'll admit I've got a streak, but--if you'd stop to take a peek-- You'd see a Buddhist, not a nudist, who's less a demon than a geek. I'm oblique and I'm obtuse (do these math puns work for you?) yet I'm rarely never right; Get my angle? Catch my drift? I might thrash, but, man, I'm thrift! Hold on shift: I'M SCREAMING NOW!! Don't know why; don't have a cow! Remember that? That 90's rap? Look at me then; that piece of crap! Shot down! Torn up! Shut in! Turned out! Lips are sealed; inside I'd shout, 'Bout just how bad I wanted out! Enraged and crazed; cravin' razors; a victim hiding from all saviors! Turned to the pen to brace for the knife, Started writin' and saved my life. It's funny to say my life got better the day I started a suicide letter... But letters turned to words and those words became whole worlds, And before my very eyes a whole legacy unfurled! I was GOD--not just a slob--but a shaper of all things, And the schemes that I'd been dreaming shifted into scribing, And I never stopped since then; it's why I'm still alive! So my insanity became vanity as calamity turned to amity. Sheer pessimism became untamed narcissism, But if the mind's a prison then consider me jail broken. Outspoken, re-awoken; take a moment to let that soak in. That a boy doubtful of tomorrow could ditch the sorrow, And become an immortal--though immoral, not totally amoral. So yea, I've got my faults; I'm a sensory assault, And while I don't mean to offend I'm just a product of the ends. Played with fire; I got burned. Dared to aspire; I was turned. So I inquire to you sires as I march out of the fires: You've seen my darkness and know my story--beginning, middle, end-- My name is Nathan Squiers, do you wanna be my friend?
