26/M/Rochester, NY Just trying my hand at writing (and failing) again.
One sweet mourning I've got the ticks Waiting for Him to bring a fix Sweet beads of anguish down my face I hear the door and I'm ready for a chase I'm the next day They see I've got that spike in my vain Try to hard to get to heaven Now I'm young and vanished And the family is tremblin' Dad says,"I'll **** a man sent my young one off to heaven." Nobody knows That it's sadder unimagined The mourning passes, the casket buried. Two years later, brother, brother arrested. Intention to sell Dad says it's just his hell.

The Chase
I have a crush, she's quite witty I have a crush and it's misery I have a crush, she's quite the beauty I have a crush and it's killing me I have a crush, she's not sworn to me, I have a crush and we cannot be. I have a crush, it will be the end of me.

Crush, Crush, Crushed
Millions of shadows rushing past Fleeting contact, sparks in the void Only a smallness of reason and rhyme We talk in circles whilst Not smiling beyond the veil of light A tangled web we've chosen to weave Now our relations are binary. Just a number, a user ID Lost in the machine, I become A lone, Me.
