you see,
well rather ironically
you dont...
or at least i dont
(...my mistake)
(that was my perception/projection of "you" based on "me" because we (again sorry or/ sorry again) can only see the world egocentrically)
i lost my glasses last week
havent seemed keen
on finding them on the streets of
O, (Oh) (OH) how i keened after them (IO)
driving on a mirror this morning, mourning, before the sun, a rose, arose.
i finally noticed them gone.
the acid lined upper middle class road from my
(socially speaking)
lower class acid ridden
(economically speaking)
upper middle class mind
had dis(re)appeared^(infinity)

all time was lost

and for the first time in my driving career
i found myself, spending more time looking at the street than at the road
shooting stars of red streamed after taillights
as if always trying to catch up
  greens joined in from lights above
...but did not muddle the stars  
like the perfectly controlled watercolor artisan

what Virtuoso, what Perfectionist, what Letter-dash-letter of a being
could create such an immaculate emasculating picture (lack of question mark)
i am humbled.

p.s
i gave up looking for my glasses
my vision seemed perfectly clear
so was yours (Sorry)

endlessly refreshing the page
grades mean more than knowledge
grades mean more than time
the red dot notification cages
my inner peace
until further notice
F5 is my life

I take cold showers because
they're supposed to help
To cure depression
They don't
I just shiver
Like I do
When I'm depressed

Begging you to love me
Choosing to never love you

Some times I wake up missin' you
Some times I wake up glad your gone
Either way its still gonna hurt

Like a knife to the back
Like glass to my gut
Its all gonna hurt

Either way it still hurts

Like a hole in my chest
Like blood on my arms
You still feel the pain

Either way it still hurts
Meh

She says
I'm insecure
I'm just obscure
Well thats pays
When you're in a world so pure

She says
She's all alone
She's not shown
Me where it fades
I'll watch my tone

I say
You're just a girl
Smells like Marlboro
I'll meet you in May
So you can see the world
Without me

Before you leave
I have to say
I just want you to stay
I want you to be relieved
When I say you can stay
With me

What do you say?
What will you say?
Will I just stay and wait?
Meet my fate.
You were too late.
Words that just ended up in stanzas. Kinda.  Just words not about anyone in particular

Dressed in black,
I came to witness,
Every tear that fell,
All the bouquets they sent,
Photographs of old memories,
The twilight in the room,
Carefully chosen conversations,
The heading on the tombstone,
I am sorry for your loss,
I'm sorry it was me.
Sticks and Stones

Sticks and stones will
surely break bones
leaving scares we cannot hide,
but words can sting like bumble bees
when two wrongs simply collide.
Fractures can be fixed
while broken hearts reflect,
walls are built around the soul
if only to protect.
Sorry's such a simple word
though seldom ever said,
pride most often wins
harboring anger instead.
Sticks and stones we need not fear
it's the bruises we cannot see,
that hurt us must of all,
I honestly believe.
