Poetry is dead
when you are not here
to write it in my heart
when your voice is too far away
to read it.

Poetry is dead
when your allure is feeding
strangers' souls on the streets
while I am here alone,
my soul starving.

Poetry is dead in all my being
I feel its ghost leaving my brains
I feel the emptiness inside
and I fear the days
when it will come haunt me
and I won't find a way
to write it.

Sleeping at night it's impossible
cause I hear a question screaming in my chest

When poetry is dead
is there anything out there
left
*alive?

I've wished on
shooting stars
fallen eyelashes
11:11
& I used every single one on you

& here you are

My half life becomes me
I laugh at pain
Because it's all I know
Three ducks in a row
Three blind mice
Me all alone
The farmers wife is angry

My dying energy
I can not find the source of strength
I used to know
So I go searching
With feeble hands and aching back
Into a new world
My mind is reeling

Ponce de leon thought he found the fountain of youth
He was wrong
Still I am much like him
I thought I found you

Am I a part of the earth
Or the sky?
A part of me
Apart from me

Suffer no more

Is it the dust of remnant smiles
In nuclear radiation
After the fallout?
Or is it merely hunger pangs
Pain within the glory
Of a rising morning sun?

Suffer no more

Am I the question
Or the answer?
a part of me
Apart from me

I would pray to
God
In the church
On the top of the hill
I would look for something sacred
As I'm praying on the altar

Deep underground
The caves
The secret society
Hellfire
I would pray to god
He would look for the other

As I go to sleep
You're waking up
I'll sleep well
I promise
I hope you did too
Good morning
And goodnight
As I go to sleep
You're waking up
But if you think of me
Listen to my songs
Learn the words and sing along
You'll be with me in my dreams
