American I need a non menthol cigarette...
This overseer's sight is my plight water treatment a silly game only blots out my sight green out of gray gray out of normality formality is my own worst enemy concrete deception angelic reception borrowed ties to end all lies She once was in my arms now all I hold is this cigarette and it will crumble as she did, in the end she will bend

4:04 am, cigarette and Templeton Rye
antisocial sociopath exquisitely exhumed exhaust let us be clear. this is the end. and the beginning. fluttery flattery flattens all so goes and does all foes.

We all know the impending, ominous, zombie apocalypse is ever present, here are some  guidelines I suggest we all follow, at all times: 1) Know you friends and enemies. Who can you trust? When the moment strikes, know who you will want by your side and who is expendable. 2) Assess your surroundings.       a. Know your exits and any strategy involved.       b. Be aware of any weapons that can be made available and remember their location.       c. Make note of any abundant water sources/food/supplies, etc. 3) Cell phones be ****** ALWAYS carry with you these things:  pocket knife, lighter (more than one is never frowned upon, FIRE is essential!), matches, extra clothing esp. sox, underwear, long sleeves, etc. 4) Always have a means of fire. Quite possibly the most important thing. 5) Own a gun. Even if you think guns are bad. Get one anyway. When the **** hits the fan you'll be happy you have one, trust me.  Oh yeah, and plenty of ammo. 6) Be a mechanic. Learn how to hot-wire a vehicle. Learn how engines work and how to maintain one. Any handyman skill you can acquire will be well used I assure you. 7) Find a good place to grow produce. Any sort of green house your can Jerry Rig or acreage with rich topsoil you can find will come quite handy! ... when you're starving... 8) Generally, "safety in numbers" is a good rule to follow. However, in a zombie apocalypse, anything can happen. In my opinion, you're better off with a fewer number of people. That way you have less of a chance of exposure :) 9) Find armor. Anything you can use to avoid a bite to the neck, arm, leg, etc... 10) If someone is bitten, especially a loved one, **** THEM IMMEDIATELY!! 11) Don't seek out an island for solace. You'll only become trapped. 12) Don't seek high ground. You'll only become trapped. 13) Don't seek sewers. You'll only become trapped. 14) Stick and move. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. 15) Know that NO ONE wants to become a zombie and that means they will go to extreme lengths the avoid zombification. Ergo, NO ONE can be trusted. 16) Establish a bunker or Safehouse of some kind. Keep it stocked with water, food, weapons and ammunition. You can use coals from a fire to filter any ***** water. Plus, obviously, with fire, food can be cooked. 17) At all times, be prepared to evacuate the bunker or Safehouse if necessary. Keep all valuable items close at hand and easily obtainable. 18)  Have a secondary, less obvious bunker or Safehouse that you can flee to, at any time. Also well stocked. 19) Please, if you have children, make sure they're aware of the situation.                   a. Don't lie to them about the fact that there are humans coming back to life to eat you.                   b. Teach them how to use a weapon to defend themselves.                   c. Just because there are zombies about doesn't mean they can't read or educate themselves. 20) Don't be a fool. We've all seen that boarding up windows and doors doesn't work for the hero. Don't bother, get the **** outa there! 21) Blend in. If you can do a good zombie impression, like those guys from "Shaun of the Dead" then I think you're golden!  OR, You could cover yourself in human guts and blood like in "Walking Dead". Either way, blending into the zombie environment is crucial. 22) Be hypersensitive to other peoples' feelings. Everyone will crack at a certain stress point. Some sooner than others. It will be those individuals that crack that will mean life or death.

How could we know how sacred and so pure metal guidance magnetic and secure How could we know this inner darkness prevails over light to make us question what it really means to be right Our brains so hollow shallow thoughts enter delight Everyone is wrapped up in themselves its quite a shame I can think of me if I want to I have you to blame How could we know how innocent and scared alone in shadow complete, yet so unprepared

To dogs, windows are forcefields
So you'll be gone for a while You want to see LA and you want to smile and that's OK with me I want you to be happy I want you to be free However it goes it will and there is no turning away it is what it is and that's all it can be please forgive me for being so blunt I cannot forget that this is the end freedom is so overrated and sad so much chaos left to be had You don't yet know my weaknesses yet you have me figured out you fill all my crevasses alleviate all doubt go and see what you need to see and feel what you feel and what's meant to be but leave me out and forget what has been go with a smile and begin again

The Worst Timing
I've forgotten how you feel I've forgotten how you taste You used to cake on lipstick and kiss every one of my cigarettes I've forgotten how you smell I've forgotten how you sound After *** you used to blow into my face to cool me off I've forgotten how you move I've forgotten how you walk You used to sing along to all the music I like, even though you hated it I've forgotten you I've forgotten us We used to kiss under the moonlight

Trying to Remember
dimmed in-candescent trails streaming through thoughtlessness grow old in cold knowledge flutter and waste a shuttered taste dreaming of wonder, lust deeming trust a liars blunder knowing only flowing undertow bestow a bow upon the tower lead the weak to seek another pray for prey to bleed together cower beneath the power, beseech teach words that preach not leach we'll reach the peak of leakage peel back the streak of team credence desensitize the lies and compromise deny the times i tried to feel demise your eyes guided me, blinded me snatched vision from decision pale walls involve crawling, sprawling drawing proof to unroof this calling pawning you to the coup of dawning may we start again, this time, yawning?

Upon An Awakening
amid the frozen earth my contentedness suspended fill me with your mirth your martyrdom transcended guarded from the wretched cold held aloft within through my lies your truth is told your pleasure through my sin one more time, I'll ask of you take me to your bed lose the hate inside your bones give peace unto my head

Antiarctica
I hope this reaches you well. My best wishes are upon you. You have severed me completely. (Something) I thought you would (never do). You achieved it, so precisely. Without self-harm. Emotion cannot describe. Confusion I feel. The hurt and obvious malice are thick. The disregard and callousness are deep. How does this make any sense? Eight years of unrefined love. Pure at its core, with crystalline solidarity Weakened by erroneous friction, and Exotic erosion. I knew we’d make it through, I thought. In any stretch or strain of memory, Any blip of conscious being Any dream or nightmare or in-between Any movement or word, Mimed or heard Any plain of existence, Lying or in stance I hope this reaches you well. My best wishes are upon you. You have severed me completely. (Something) I thought you would (never do).
