Maybe it's the whiskey or maybe it's just me. I want to be in another world away from all this petty **** I want to be alone with this cigarette away from all this talk. Away from all these thieves. Thieves of my solitude, thieves of my mind. You've stolen my sense of me. I have been robbed of my sanity by the fools of this place. Not this city, not this state. I have been robbed of me. I cannot find peace in this god forsaken place. I cannot breathe. This cigarette doesn't help, but this is all I have. The whiskey and this cigarette. My lungs full of glee. Maybe it's the whiskey. But really, it's just me.

I saw the rain coming, and I knew you were leaving. But I still feel the weight of the world heavy on my heart. My pulse beats hard in my throat, and I know it will never be the same. It will beat forevermore with a reminiscence of how gently and blindly you touched it. Time will continue to pass. And I will taste your name with each breath I take. The seasons will continue to change. And I will wake each morning to the sight of your absence. Life will continue on in your wake. And the weight of the world will remain heavy on my heart.

I want to live above time. I want to live without reason and without expectation. I want no standards or plans. I want to live anomalously. I want to forget the past and forget the future. I want to discover. Not land, not equations, not anything of the sort. I want to discover me. I want to discover the unknown. I want to discover you.

I want to live
There are some wounds so deep, some wounds so irreparable, that they cannot be cured. These are wounds inflicted upon the heart. These are wounds inflicted upon the mind. These are wounds inflicted upon the soul. These wounds are like a terminal illness. They are like an incurable disease. They make you a ***** within humanity. They isolate you and destroy you. This disease is initiated by the deterioration of the mind through the realization that this is an unnatural, man made, test tube and wired reality. This is all wrong. We are all wrong. It is catalyzed by the deterioration of the heart, once having experienced the pure cruelty of humanity. It unveils the fantastic false creation of love and the mere idea that people have ever given a **** about you. It exposes the destructive outcome of hoping for anything beyond your own control. It is completed by the deterioration of the soul. A lengthy but significant process that rids you of your motivation to open your eyes to the blank ceiling above you every morning. It strips you of your ability to feel. And, suddenly, you have lost your desire to wake. These wounds…they are a terminal illness. They are an incurable disease. They are irreparable. They are unyielding. They are permanent. And they are destroying me.

When does one begin to feel again? When does one stop feeling to begin with? An end brings with it a new beginning, as a new beginning will at some time end. So, what is the point of it all, if we're being frank? Quite frankly, I’m beginning to think there was never any point to begin with at at all.

And on.
We build expectations. These expectations only set us up for disappointment. Thereafter, we search for reason. Yet, there is never reason. That’s okay, though, because reason isn’t enough. We really only want truth. But truth is only what you allow it to be. So what are we really searching for after all?

Another Day
There comes a time when it is necessary to leave your own reality. It becomes essential to escape your thoughts and enter the mind of another. There comes a time when a book is all that will suffice.

It's Time
I have the world in my palm. I am sitting where the land ends and the sky begins. Beauty is in all that my eyes encounter. My mind is turning inside out. It is capturing these wonders; committing them to memory for a later date. Confused and bruised by existence, we are all strangers to this place.

Strangers
These words fumble out of my mouth like building blocks of a clumsy child. They are innocent, unaware; puerile, if I dare. But frivolous as they seem, they have been uprooted from the dusty corners of my heart. They are defenseless and exposed. I cup my hands in a poor attempt to collect these impulsions that stream from my lips. Too late, they delved themselves into you like daggers from my hands; and for that, I am sorry. I aim with good intentions, these weapons at the tip of my tongue.

We are in a timeless world that is coming to an end so quickly that we are fooled to believe that we have a lifetime ahead of us. What is a lifetime when it varies with each day? What is a lifetime when we test this unknown entity with every minute of the hour? We are fools. We are afraid of that which we do not know. We are fearful for our hearts, for our trust, for our sanity..but we are broken and skeptical and all mad anyways. What are we fearing for? We are fearing for our past and it does not make sense. Love is falling into one another. I want to fall into the puddle of your sorrow and your madness and your beautifully expired colors. I am a new puddle. One you have yet to let touch your skin. I am not merely a reflection on the surface waiting to be disrupted by you diving head first. I am not an illusion. I am not your past. I am not all these fears that sleep in your veins. Won’t you see? We are fearing a lifetime that we have never seen. We are unaware and foolish and naive, and we have these vague ideas that all that exists is that which we have already seen. We are fools. I want to fall into your foolish puddle of expired colors.
