I Cannot Say

I cannot say that I fell
skyward into the blacks of your eyes
after your crescent moon smile
washed out the ground beneath me.

No, I leapt.

Do you really think you're never gonna die
The day shall come, you'll know this was all a lie
'Tis, a four day journey
Two days of desire, two days of pie

No one knows what's gonna happen in the grave,
Once the man's put, nothing wakes up the dark eye
The punishment he pays for, is not seen but felt
The wealth he gave his life for, is nowhere at sight

His life was just the same as of a potato blight,
When he was asked to look at the beneficial light
But he didn't bat an eye at the given advice
Nor did he take a look at his hair full of lice

Everyday he would eat a full plate rice,
Still no sign of thankfulness, despite
Was he deaf, or was he blind
Even the disables are not as lost as he was at night

The whole story seemed like a joke to him,
But sorry, it's too late to make everything right (while being placed in the coffin)
Anyways it's too late to write,
Let me have an apple to bite

My heart
crackles
with an indecipherable
something
which gives it
shape,
yet seems to simultaneously,
parasitically
siphon
all
joy
and
will
from within it.

Maybe it's just
my heart
masquerading,
pretending substance
to cover up the overwhelming
nothing.

After all, nature abhors a vacuum.
This, too, shall pass.

I'm lost.
I'm losing my friends.
My family is horrible.
I'm losing my mind,
Trying to fight these thoughts of suicide.
Note I said trying,
But really its more like failing.
I don't want to be here anymore.
I'm tried of everything.
The lies,
The names screamed at me,
The hits I take.
I'm done with it all.
The only people I stayed for was my friends,
But I'm losing them.
I'm lost,
So very lost.
I miss you so much
It's crazy

I'm feeling something I can't explain
But it's just a maybe

Can't wait to see you
To explain that feeling you've made me
And to hear your heartbeat
As you embrace me

I know I've been thinking a lot lately
About what's been and what awaits me

For so long I've been so lonely
But now, I think I've found the one

The one that would own me

Carefree like a house on Hire,
Tis how I like, a house on fire
Melody of a song, the great red attire
Resemblance of which, like a house on fire
Drowning deep in the loathsome shire,
That's how thorough is the house on fire
Confusing's the smell of the burning tyre,
Rewinding the cruelness of the house on fire
Soothing's the sound, sweeping the tire
Ingesting the frequency of the house on fire
Down goes the crown of the red tide steady,
That's my room in that house on fire

corbin sweeny
screaming cat call
in the deep
of night
I lay quite still, there,
hoping to keep a good feeling
and watched with 
resignation
as it slipped away.
now I am awake
my friend has snuck through
my room
and hurried on
her smell lingers but
she had to fly
her brother worried
in the car.
crickets meditate 
at the top of their lungs
and far away
I wonder how the oldest child
fares this night-
all we share in the end
is sleep
