Knock Knock. Oh dope! Someone's tapping on my door! Knock Knock. **** yeah! Nobody comes here anymore. Knock Knock. This is great! Pure excitement can't be ignored! Click Swing. I sing "what's up," just to find: A girl, in another world, knocking on my neighbor's door

Weekdays
'I want to be your first so bad' She whispers in my ear Near the warm TV glow But the flow: so slow from her lips. In complete belief, I believe Her breaths, Despite her face: dimmed by dim lights. The Gamecube murmurs and my heart takes flight. Then reaching, To touch her face, She redirects me to the base Of her hips; changing clips From love to lust. Perhaps she must... But not for me. Not me. To fall for a friend, In the end, is all.

'I want to be your first so bad'
Today I will be the strings that I strum; Gently thundering by the will of my thumb, Constantly changing by rhythm and tone, Based on my finger—No-- based on my bone. Today I will be the tack in the wall Providing stability for friends in need, I won’t let them loose, I won’t let them fall! And I’ll show them that they can trust me. Perhaps a digression, perhaps a mad switch Perhaps I’m acting like a son of a ***** But always being taken advantage of Starts to strain my love… so… Tomorrow I will be servant to no one. Going about the day until my day is done. But today I’ll be those strings that I strum And tonight I’ll just fill my throat with ***

Today I Will Be
On that toasty July night Both my hands, wrapped in delight And candles ruining moonlight, I thought of you. And the sun. I realized there, my time was so near While feeling no fear And shedding no tear The night became cool and I started to run Loathing love. Knife to my Neck Brought memories of her my heart won't forget An ineffable feeling. My ship is a wreck Upon tranquil seas... No hands are on deck And finding, at last, the sickening truth That bone by bone, and tooth by tooth I can see only one side Causing our ships to collide. Mine: torn and tugged below the tide As you remain. The same. Goodbye.
