I knew this would happen but I did nothing to stop it.
Does that make me guilty of the crime?*

I know you don't want to serve your time, so when they ask if I had an accomplice, I'll take the blame and bare responsibility for all the pain that you've inflicted upon the life you sought to save.

This isn't love, it hurts too much,
but if this isn't what I thought then how can I ever know what it really was?

You could say, what you say is truth,
but it isn't a matter for words of mouth when you can never spit out the proof!

Cleansed By Fire

There was a time when our love could breathe and it all felt good that we have long since abandoned, and now as I watch what little that remains be choked by smoke and swallowed by flames in the back seat of my broke down sedan, all I can think of as I smile and laugh is that I'll never get to see any of it again

So the other day my car broke down and burst into flames. Thankfully nobody was hurt but the car was completely destroyed and in the back seat I had most of my notebooks that I've used for poetry/songs/etc over the years ever since I started writing, along with a bunch of personal keepsakes from a person who's caused me a lot of hurt that that I've been struggling to let go of, so i'm trying to use the fact that it was all lost to the flames as a way to start fresh and move past my recent troubles.

Choosing and Flying

Making your own choice
With something you're scared to do
Is learning to fly

Looking over a ledge
You're nervous, then you're scared once
You start to fall down

Then once you take off
Your breath catches, and you start
To soar in your mind

And for all your fear
Knowing that you've made your choice
Flies over anxiety

Relief

Maybe for a moment I should try to breathe while sitting alone and silent, while I focus on the peace that I've been struggling to find, without you standing by to spit daggers into my sides, every single time I lose control over my mind

What to do on a cloudy day

Abandon work, buy two cigarette packs, and smoke every one as if kissing death will make it love you back

I leapt from the face of the earth,
and what I found was a place
where I could live with my name
while staying free from the blame
that would come down like rain
when I would refuse to feign
my enjoyment of the game
that we're all forced to play.

One must imagine Sisyphus happy
