Remember me as the wind in your hair / As you run / And the rain on your face / As you tie your shoelaces
I loved you but you are Jackson ******* Too erratic Too abstract Too beautiful And too free For my structured entropy

Immiscible
When the doctor said I didn't look healthy I thought about you and your endless ennui That drove you to kiss and **** all those boys I said I don't get to sleep much She said read your Bible And I almost laughed out loud But I guess I looked bewildered I stopped believing in god when he stopped making sense The doctor said I should stop drinking But sleep wouldn't come and when it did It haunted me with dreams of losing you Over and over and over again I wake up and I still have you but not so much It's negligibly worse than losing you Also ***** is my god now The doctor said I should lose weight She gave me a number and I wanted to storm out of the room I saw your mocking eyes staring at me As you touched and licked their sweaty abs and biceps I borrowed the calculator And I saw that all the excess weight was made up by you So I thanked the doctor and left I'm going to the airport today To drop you As you hand-carry my emotional baggage.

The Debate
I wait for you In still coffee nights of wonder In early morning bursts of perspective In half naked mornings and silent torture Which are not mutually exclusive. I still wait for you Among the faces, in between streaking strips of asphalt and concrete Among the entropy, in dark gangways of nervousness and catharsis Among the noise, in impulsive shortcuts and Jack's Mannequin Which my muddy shoes do not like very much. I still wait for you Through the fuzzy vision of late night, walking on existentialist angst, struggling to find the meaning of suffering and life Through the haze of alcoholic pain, stumbling across residual memories, pleading that all the 3 AM visions would stop Through the nicotine fog, falling away from depressive reality, building a method heavily dependent on addictive escapist solutions Which reduces my life span short enough, To stop waiting for you.

Paintience
My world is populated by me Only me Until you came along And took my books from my shelves Like they were yours You left with my books And I felt empty Because now in my world There is space for one more And you are not here

Shelf space
I'm dying on my bedroom floor Your hair blowing away on my sheets when I realized I couldn't let you go anymore I still see you leaning on the frame of my door With the words you spoke in my memory, I realized I'm dying on my bedroom floor The look in your eyes which belongs to ancient lore The tears in mine as I recalled and I realized I couldn't let you go anymore Your hand on my face, my lips on yours The phantom feel of your kiss as I realized I'm dying on my bedroom floor Your non-hesitation as you bared your core Foolishly disregarded and swept aside, then I realized I couldn't let you go anymore I've never felt anything like this before The love drilling in my chest and the emptiness it bore I'm suddenly dying on my bedroom floor When I realized I couldn't let you go anymore

Suddenly
I am an idiot. I am an idiot for falling in love. I am an idiot for falling in love with you. I am an idiot for falling in love with you after you said I shouldn't. I am an idiot for crying because I fell in love with you after you said you shouldn't. I am an idiot for falling in love with you. I am an idiot for falling in love. I am an idiot.

IQ: 84*
Clouds of smoke Swirl around my head Like the thoughts inside: A foggy sludge Making mocking faces Mimicking my ghosts 'You are a lush' 'You are a rogue' 'You are a pain in the ass' Ashes falling to the floor Pulling me along Cherry red fire sizzling Burning away my resolve I get up And I fall farther Face it, said the smoke You're no phoenix My eyes close I agree.

Fighting Fog
We share a relationship that exists only when the rest of the world is dreaming. It makes me wonder: is our relationship but a by-product of the overactive hormones and chemicals and imagination of the soundly sleeping world?

Caffeinated Hallucinations
I am sorry if My weary eyes threaten Your idea of security and Peace of mind Those things are exactly Exactly what they lack They drift around book stores and Train stations and Grassy meadows and Sooty avenues Looking for what Is unturbulent and Understanding Because these days my Eyes need hands To wipe them and To close them and To give them rest
