Old longings nomadic leap,
Chafing at custom's chain;
Again from its brumal sleep
Wakens the ferine strain.

A pair of socks is all you gave to me
But i wore those socks forever
Wore those socks forever

I peered through the bannisters
I remember hearing talking
I remember hearing talking

How do they all fit inside
Secrets in the night sky
Secrets in the night sky

Candle in the corner of the room
It was filled with christmas quiet
Filled with christmas quiet

Wandering on a cold misty morning
I was wearing all the jumpers
Wearing all the jumpers

A pair of socks is all you gave to me
But i wore those socks forever
Wore those socks forever

Don't let your mind get weary and confuse
Your will, be still, don't try
Don't let your heart get heavy child
Inside you there's a strength that lies
Don't let your soul get lonely child
It's only time, it will go by
Don't look for love in faces, places
It's in you, that's where you'll find kindness
Be here now
Don't lose your faith in me
And I will try not to lose faith in you
Don't put your trust in walls
'Cause walls will only crush you when they fall
Be here now

I had this dream tonight
Resting my head on a pillow
Waiting for my drunken sibling
In this dream it's Christmas eve
And the world is as it is
And i meet my girl
I mean the girl who was mine
Until she decided
To destroy my world
I meet my girl and she tells me
Through a crooked evil grin
It was all a joke
The tears, the argument,
My world's sad end
A cruel joke yes, but
What i know she wanted
Was the excitement in my eyes
When they saw the flames
Being put out
And all the lies
And terrible things were
False like the lightly dim night
And that is what happened
I shed a tear and kissed her
A hundred times or more
And in that moment
We were back together
That was the greatest gift of all
On a Christmas in my dream
And it's not even real
Is the saddest part
Not at all as real as it seemed

I meander aimlessly through consciousness
Wishing that confusion was an option
I see myself on the outside with unwillingness
Lament is not the only, but the strongest emotion
Lately, this is as it has been, not much more
Astonished by what i thought was impossible
Lacerations in my heart from everything before
Wisdom leaves
Adolescence remains
You scarred me for the remainder of my life
Still my heart caresses and craves your attention
Left for death, the heart still has your knife
On the off chance of your repeated heavenly descension
Vast is the pool of memories in which i am submerged
Every breath i take, eternity
You neglect my toughened love through every single surge
Only you
Untouched by guilt
Masked by everything around you
Obvious are the feelings that have dissolved and gone away
Love is reserved for someone new
Lust, too, but still i long for the 27th of May
You will always be mine, always

Another day, another dollar
Going to school to be a scholar
Sitting here in physics class
I could really use a homework pass
Mrs. Harvey is teaching and being loud
Everyone's so calm, but i don't know how
Learning Thermodynamics and specific heat
As i sit unaware while my mind retreats
Thinking about a single person's lies
Which caused my constantly twitching eye
Only thinking one thing, asking myself why
I keep telling myself that the end is nigh
Giving the tax payers a tight, stiff collar
Just so i can write this poem...
Another day, another dollar
