Driving with my eyes closed Life on autopilot Miles and miles ahead Put it in park or keep driving instead? Darkness pours into my head Night sky clouds in When will it give? Still miles and miles to go Until the end of the road

Into the dark
Words swirling in mind Smoke whirling in the air Sitting alone I stare Wishing I could disappear Never able to find the time Simply writing without a rhyme Ill give you the world but only can afford a dime Desperately trying to unwind Words swirling in my mind Without you, at best I'll be "fine"

Maybe we are all just heart broken kids, writing about heart breaking things, in hopes of being less heart broken.

And I guess one could say this is the pinnacle of all that is us. My feelings could never be put to rest.When the acrimony of departure has come at last, I will stay here for all of my life. You will see the world and you will love many others. Deep in my clandestine mind, I won't love again when you leave me behind. I simply will not ; even if you say I must.

Now, if you've ever seen a Butterfly up close and from a distance, you will find the sights to be very different.

Burn the pages; Jump off bridges
Everyone makes love out to be a perplexing, complicated, and almost unobtainable thing. Maybe it is. I sometimes find myself thinking this to be so. Yet I also find it to be so simple. You don't have to do much for me to know i love you. The warmth of your hand in mine is fact enough. I hope this feeling comes to you as simply as it does to me. No matter how many abstract poems are written about this love, this love I feel for you, I know it's simple. It comes as easy as breathing. One thing, one day won't be this simple. The most complicated of days will be the day I suffer the sight of you leaving.

It's simple if you let it be
Where yonder grasses twine, A pleasant bed, my maid, that children call a grave, In the cold moonshine. Is that the wind? No, no; Only two devils, that blow Through the murderer's ribs to and fro, In the ghosts' moonshine.

The Ghosts' Moonshine
A long time ago, in a land not far but near, there was a land where the night was always dark and the sky covered it like a black cloth, for the moon never rose there, and not a single star twinkled in the darkness.

Where I Once Was
"Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night's sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever. The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too."
