I had a dream that my head was rotting. Friends I never spoke to sat idly by, detecting no abnormality. They smoked cigarettes a top their car, waiting for something to pull back the curtains of the night sky. My breathe went stale and the ground shook. I began to choke. overhead something watched us... and then I woke up. A sacrifice.

Sinking, sinking into – thought loops, swaying back and forth and falling out of tune.
Thinking back to, when I found you, drifting out to space and losing altitude.
Faintly fading – faster – farther each year, though I still remember when you used to be here.
Wondering what would happen if I screamed.
Out of key, you lost yourself, in your dreams.
off beat.
****.
Offbeat, lost rhythm, you’re not fine.
Repeat, retreat – into your dying mind.
Asleep – not waking up this time.
Distanced Human, disillusioned to no end.
Distanced Human, I will always call you “friend”

Are these emotions misplaced?
Has it been present all along?
I wish we could find out
Maybe we will
Just not together

Another night of nosebleeds
Yet another way to fiend
Is it it a lost cause to find
A way
Am I lost cause?
Please find a way
To make

Things get better
When I’m unaware

3 hours of nothing
Wide awake and aching

When I go will you even miss me?
Missed calls
Missed opportunities
To grow
Together
But it’s no longer my problem
Is it?
I’ve done everything I can
Maybe one day we’ll find each other again
But for now
It’s best
I find my way out
And pursue someone that has the time
To grow with me
The way I tried
With you

We used to be mates
now we’re cell mates
This house is just a place we sleep
This bed is just another place we read

A Prison
Pending release

You used to be so sentimental
I would sing your words with jealousy
But that’s on me

Songs mean a lot when songs survive
