Ocean fires Apr 2017
She calls again from the deep memories in my head
Collapsed lungs, my breath getting caught in the pits of my chest

Fight they say, down some pills go for a hike
Yet the thought of you brings me to my knees im losing the fight

My brain has deserted clear thought sending signals to my fingers to reach for your heart

I'm lost in this land surrounded by sand
Every grain a memory ill never forget

The storms in my soul strike hard when your clouds come through

Still I hold that rod to the sky and wait for the lightning bolt to burn me alive

She doesn't come though she teases with clouds then leaves me to my clear blue skies

I'll never forget that night
When she left I saw the most beautiful northern lights

But now her storms calls me once again.

This doesn't feel like my skin
It feels like someone else's body that had my soul injected in

This brain may be mine, but it is a faulty depressed mess
filled with needless information in a constant state of duress

War torn memories of the girl I left
Anger still flowing through the canyons in my head

No ring no matter the beauty could satisfy her spite
No diamond of any size could make me good enough to love her for life

I slip out of this skin when I write
Slowly I shed the love I once held for a blackhole

I came to life the night our butterflies died

I couldn't believe she'd hit me
My brain shut down I'm
unable to react

Society always wonders why,
When boys are the first to die

Boys don't cry
They get mad and break ****
I'm so sick of this
I was told to sack up
Put her in her place
Be the man they always wanted
Grow a pair stop being a coward

So I did.
I put her in her place,
I grew a pair,
I stopped being a coward,
I manned up

I left

Why do we ignore the poor
As they wash up on our shores
Children drown in the deep
While we sit comfy in our seats

The fireflies rain down
Tearing their homes to the ground

Still youre unable to comprehend
the love lost in the souls of men

Green God of America
Manufactured consent
Why should you care
If you can pay your rent

You are not a hindrance,
You’re anything but a problem.

Why are your ears deceiving you?
Your eyes blur what you can see.

Your body seems to hate you,
But please don’t take it out on me.

You were the stars in my sky
Until you lied

We loved and we lost
When our baby died

I tried and tried
I couldn't look into your eyes

We fought and we lost
When our baby died
