I poured myself an ocean
So I could learn how to swim
slipping from the surface
the torture that its been

In the morning I ask,
“What is it that you seek from me?
What scars do I reveal in my self pity?”
I wish them away
And they linger
Infected by a festering thought
That I can’t think or find
Where are you my pain?
Where are you my doubt?
Come out into the open
And let us burn together
In the evening I beg,
“What is it I carry that sinks deeper everyday?
What wound is this, so calloused,
That I cannot find its place?”
Am I washed up with my dignity and old age
On an island without means?
How can I sacrifice my idols
If my idols are my dreams?
Where are you my Love?
I can’t find you where you’ve been
I wish with all my being
That you’d sing a song again

moments of silence
I shutter
chest tightens
a breath after my mind in the gutter
lost itself to fake another
and hide behind my hurt
Here I fall from happiness
the slope without a hold
I tense
and brace for ground
which races toward my body
Here I wake
a piece of meat
with a piece of cake
trying to prove my life's at stake
to save the one's I love
Here I rest at last
the spirit changes
far too fast
and I can't know how I should pass
this Love from me to you
So listen deep and listen true
before you tell yourself
what's to lose.

I hear pinging
My elbow cracks
She rests on my shoulder
and I dance with the future
Mallets are our feet
and our steps still ringing
have left me swooning
for your every arrival
under my breath
I sing these melodies
certainly they can't go on forever
but how long before then?
Kiss me to forget the past
and remember the present
I dance with the future
because she's a curious girl
You trickle your presence
right through me
until I am here wishing you were too
still
it's not to far
and you worry too much
Kiss me to let go of the future
and remember the present
As we connect
I'll show us a thing or two about passion
Still shy while you shouldn't be
so I give it time
and the present starts to forget our names

the first,
in the middle of an ocean
the last,
being hidden by the glass
I swell into her
a wave falling to the sand
smiling with her eyes
I feel

You hesitated
It caught you by surprise
the picture faded
right before your eyes
you might have made it
if you could let it go
but you hesitated
and now we'll never know
(now we'll never know)
you broke a promise
you never meant to keep

**** Love
making cowards of us all
either too scared to let it fail
or too scared to answer its call
**** Love for all its selfish insecurity
piecing us together like a broken puzzle
everyone begging for attention
Love is here to fill your appetite
There is no answer to the question of love
why
what
how
when
It's never clear when it has you
It's never clear when you're free of it
Love is a snake
a viper in the trees
with an uncanny eye for humanity
I hate myself for allowing this shame
and I don't even know if I love her

You can't have too much
sugar coated
sweet and broken
If you lack the stuff
feel easy now
this clinic serves a better drug
Hell is here

Life in fear
of losing Heaven
can't think
these ******* keep pushing
**** them
**** this
**** it all
The light is getting clearer
at the end of the tunnel
just not soon enough
Chaos runs deeper
with her every touch
so what the ****

Its just party right?
lose your head in all the light
you'll have to join them
once you see them play
I heard the place is "tight"
which happens to be my own sometimes
They always wave
but I don't know their names
They lose me
and I lose them
All those shifty eyes at parties
started closing in
They don't understand
What's going on
when the sun goes down
Still Ive never been and thought,
"I'm glad I came"
All they're mouths keep moving
but there's nothing being said
All their thoughts in a bubble
never leaving their head
All they're smiles keep proving
what they're trying to forget
I don't get these people
because there's nothing to get
So what happened last night?
Was it the once
or was it twice?
