sorry to hear about your dad
cant  find the words to say
now he is at peace where the angels stay

watching over you from heaven up above
each and every day sending down his love

no more pain or sorrow will he have to bare
at peace for ever with angels everywhere

once again with jenny in heaven up above
side by side together once again in love

Is life really worth living if you feel worthless every ******* day?
Empty and I can’t face my own feelings.
The distraction is what I will always seek.
I can't face it, I’m to ashamed.
But I will drink, I will stuff my nose with so many chemicals that my brain will die by each day.
I’m selfish and sad, and everybody I love makes me mad.
My so called friends turned their back on me.
I cheated on the only person that truly loved me.
I made someone cheat and I made somebody lie.
I said I stopped and for a few days I did, I actually did.
But now I didn’t just **** every chance I had, I also killed the happy version of myself.
The girl that loved, smiled, laughed and joked.
Now I’m the girl that is desperate, ugly, empty and an addict.
I used to be so happy, I used to remember every song.
I’m ******* nothing and I can’t remember anything.
I wish she were on my mind,
But she's not. She's in it,
And has full possession.

I've lost my mind;
I'm beside myself;
I'm next to an idiot!

She has my mind in her hands,
And I have time on mine.

She takes all mine. My time.
But I don't mind spending time,
And gladly giving all of mine,
If she would only mind me.
Mine me.

(There is treasure to be had)
It scares me how you turn
your face into a wall
how you rip your ears off
when I call
You turn your lips to stone
when I try to kiss you when I fall
in love with you and kneel at your
feet with ****** knees after I crawl
your just an old wrinkled crow almost
forgotten except for your distant caw.
I sold my soul for a woman before.
  I turned my back on love for lust,
  a black heart tarnished white knight.
  I want you so badly now. I can't trust
  wild haired beauty singing from rocky
  shores drawing me closer every night.
  I'm no saint. I've starved for years and
  smell your feast hungering for a taste.  
  I feel death's cold breath on my neck
  my body shrinking, skin like paste.
  I'm old and set in ways like stone.
Lie with me naked. I won't die alone.

We strive for the minimal,
Simplicity is safe.
To be bold is to be vulnerable;
An unsteady state.

                  ­        An Amazon Driver with Skull Earrings

No, of course he’s not an Amazon; he’s a man
Navigating a big ol’ delivery truck through life
Ferrying to addresses this side of the Styx
Brown pasteboard boxes and white plastic envelopes

I wanted to ask him about his goal in life
But he was in a hurry to turn around
And continue his rowing, so I thanked him
And he thanked me, and I don’t know his dream

A man with skull earrings and muscled arms -
I hope he’s steering toward a happier shore
