i fall in love fast, a little too fast they say,
    we struck another man with pain
    called it fate and let thing's continue

i fall in love fast, a little too fast some say,
    made amazing love in the morning
    softly playing with each other during the dead of night

i fall in love fast, a little too fast i think,
    she told me she still loved him
    my mind wants to hate her but my hearts tells me it might be fate..

i fall in love fast,
    she's removed me from her life completely now
    fate, i suppose.

i want desire
passion
obsession
an untamed flame to burn my problems away
casting my image from the real to shadow
and live forever as silhouette.

Their words melted in my ears and ran down into my lungs, all I could breathe was the startle of their wisdom.

The sky grew heavy with me beneath it, so I built an ivory tower that I might climb atop it.

The rhymes are tedious today
deliriously so..
Kings of the twiddling fat thumbs..
play in the drifting snow outside my apartment door.
the laughter is loud, almost painful

I close the window, sitting, watching the down-poor
that laughter continues like a stench in my mouth,
a tasteless odor sitting on the teeth

these royal imitations of hope and joy will soon be planted
. . . 6 feet deep.

Blasphemy they are to today's decrepit culture-less culture
pawns in disguise, I hate them all.

Long hair, unemployed freeloader,
Click that button there and reply the saddest song you know,
Pity yourself to no end, cry yourself to sleep,
Wake up and realize you lost them all,
Incompetence, maybe.. Feel the rage build,
But Hide it for tomorrow.
Play the anger to there stereotype, have another cigarette,
Why not..
Try to repose your mind, only temporary.

She asked why
I responded with -

It begins with my silver touch
        I can't let you know why
I don't know the reasons myself
        But I am driven by my desire
                A drug, a play, a joke,
I promise I will keep you forever
        Locked away from pain, retaining the perfect in you.
Believe me, my dear, because you have no choice
        You are mine now.

Say goodbye,
walk out the door,
Grab cigarettes at the local store,
stare at oncoming traffic,
stop.. wait,
in-vision childrens laughter, stay firm,
listen to rippled wheels turn,
withering old men resting on
bike path benches, focus, keep straight,
can't let them see you frown,
turn back to your ghost town.
