"She looks for love in all the wrong drugs." / / Call me red, / friends and foes alike. / If you can't tell, / I fall in love with everyone / when I first meet them, / but it eventually fades after a while.
I feel dead inside Maybe this coffee will wake me up I feel dead inside Maybe if I sleep it will go away I feel dead inside Maybe this cigarette will perk me up I feel dead inside Maybe this liquor will take me away I feel dead inside Maybe my friends will cheer me up I feel dead inside Maybe a boyfriend will pull me away I feel dead inside Maybe if I get help they wouldn't lock me up I feel dead inside Maybe I should push some daises up Nothing seems to be working right I feel dead inside

Do you feel death?
I don't care about a lot of things. That's why the things I care about mean the world to me, but they hold a lot of power over me. Because the things I care about, are getting smaller and smaller. And I don't want to lose them, so I fight to hold on to them. But even though I fight with everything that's left of me, I'm losing people, places, and things that mean the world to me, and it makes me sadder and sadder.

tattooed across my hand it's a reminder. now you're probably thinking, "a reminder to what?" you probably think it's something common like, "INSANITY to remind you to be insane." or the profound few might think, "INSANITY as a reminder that everyone else is insane." but, darling, really INSANITY's a reminder of the fact that everyone else might be crazy, and that's even worse. everyone else might be insane. you'll never really know. but the insane ones are the ones that can trick you, and damage you, and break you, but you never notice until it's too late. You see, darling, I've been tricked, and broken, and so unbelievably, damaged. That I need the reminder, INSANITY, tattooed across my hand, to remind me that everyone might be crazy, and I have good reasons to be paranoid.

INSANITY
life will break your heart, life must be seen. I think being a tragedy is a state of defiance. My life of cynical conclusions leaves me a present: comedy and tragedy. Lord reverse time, because I believe the best comedy has passed.

That it was only me & you, alone in a room. Smoking a joint of your best **** & I hesitated because I couldn't match. & you said something smooth to make me giggle, then you kissed me. it was electric. But, I stopped you, & said *"I hope you know I'm not doing this because I owe you, but  because I like you."* & you just smile & laughed an, "Of course!" Giggling, you kiss me. You kiss me again & again & again.

I had a dream once
I see she smokes cigarettes & I wonder why she wants to die. She sighs, "Personally, it's my own method of suicide." She inhales, & blows out beautiful smoke rings. Then she slashes away each one to nothing. "There," she whispers, "destruction by the creator." She smiled softly and inhaled. I understood what she said. She was destroying herself, because she blames herself, for the final creation of herself. 3 more perfect smoke rings sighed out of her. They were intense, honest, & powerful, just like she was.

Smoke rings
You were the one who stood up on top of moving cars years ago. You were free, careless and happy. You were unafraid of death. That's why I liked you, but you're gone now and I miss you already. I will remember you for the rest of my life, when I can't sleep, or when my mind wanders, whether it's at midnight or noon.

To the Boy Who Died:
My sadness sinks from my head to my toes and no matter what I do it grows and grows
