Life gave me
everything I needed
but took away
the one I wanted the most.

We came to this world

only for a while,

and when we leave,

we leave behind our footprints.

Some remain forever,

worthy to be followed

over and over again.

Others are erased in time,

making way for new footprints,

worthy to be followed.

Shadows are a reminder

that beyond the light

darkness exists.
Even in free summers,
I shiver with the cold of winters
in the corner of my room.

Even in sparkling spring,
I taste the loneliness of autumn
in the corner of my room.

Even in bright festivals,
I drown in dullness
in the corner of my room.

Even in a room full of living people,
I am dead........
in the corner of my room.

Silence in the waves,
Tether me front and center,
Climbs over this coast of mine,
Fills the amphitheater
I've met the devil
On several Sundays
He's always sitting alone
His bottle dripping liquor burning
I've seen his testimony
Know its riddled with lies
I've sat and danced with temptation
Till the powder under my nose
Brought me begging on his doorstep
For a way to let go
Gave up my demons
So I wouldn't end up Dead in a ditch
But I still talk to the devil
Whenever im caught in a pinch

I look back at my life
Thinking I could’ve done better
But I can’t change the past
So I look forward to the future
