I'm always afraid
I'm never sure why
I simply push my
Irrational fear's
Down deeper inside

Dreaded night
One eye open
Nightlight on
Shadows dancing
Into the dawn

But in the day
That's when I pray
All of this beauty
Please let me stay!
Traveler Tim

Death my greatest fear
I must really love
Life here!

Would we get away with anything?
I don't think so
we are all quite creative

I get it now
What's really
Going on.
I've decided
The system
We live in is
A computer system
We exist within
A network of
Branches
Far reaching
Our framework
And skeleton a
Matrix within
The system
Our inner
Veins the wires
The blood
Pumping within
The system
We live in

Empty love
Was all she got
So much
Empty love
This is a poem about a concept I thought up. It's Empty Love. It is not real love but a false love. It is an artificial love created in the hook up culture but to a whole new level...I noticed it when I tried online dating. It is the kind of fake love present in **** and also a bunch of guys who are perfectly content with online chatting for arousal and never meeting a girl in real life...real life away from screens is dying. Authenticity and warmth and affection are dying...
I am running
into realization

of meat walking
in high style

calories of alcohol
uncounted

guilts singing
in paint jobs

I am singing
into realization

this song
this song of

fraying threads
abandoned tomorrow

carefree days
are piling up

waiting for our
insistence

to fade
