Space love
Old Stoney Aug 2017
Write down why you love me and tie it to a balloon
Because when I reach you it will be there on time
And never a moment to soon

Can you imagine where it will go?
I see a planet full of space and time unknown
Maybe a place so hot
But just enough snow

Too many places to see
And never enough ways to show

Our love
Reaches greater lengths
than just your back bedroom.
Seen above
And over the moon
Our space love
Is bigger than me and you
But all I could ever ask for
In our wonderful spacious views

If all is meant to be
This wonderful atmospheric breeze
Will guide your love
And bring it to me

Every cold wind that blows
Will not be a disappointment
Only chances to find fulfillment

Free
Old Stoney Jul 2017
When I was younger
I used to dream
Of being older
And being so free
Now that I'm older
I started to dream
Of when I was younger
And when I was free

Old Stoney Aug 2017
Try being a writer in my time
Everything is a contradiction offensive
And nothing can rhyme
Try being a writer in my time
The sky can't be blue because
Why not green
Or even red
poetry is dead

Creativity is close behind
Take your personal thoughts
Take them and hide
Don't be different
Don't you dare
Nobody listens
Nobody cares

Try to be a writer in my time
Just know
It doesn't matter if it's about what you like
Or if it took sacrifice
Not it
Not she
Not that
Not he
Her
Or even him
Try to be a writer in my time
It's all about them

Most days
Old Stoney Jul 2017
most days
I walk with the other side of my brain
the not so sober side
the crazy and somewhat insane side
the side that isn't afraid to fall
and the side that wasn't afraid to call
but I can't always be this way
so don't worry
ill only do it
most days
339 · Jul 2017
hey,
Old Stoney Jul 2017
Hey,

     I never know how to start conversations
     So I figured I would write it out
     Ill call it a poem
     and you'll fall no doubt  
     It's kinda cheesy
     But I figured it might be easy
     Roses are red and
     Violets are blue
     But none of that matters if I don't know about you
     How is your day
     and how is the weather
     I hope it's not too cold
     but if it is grab a sweater
     I'm getting off topic
     I should have started with hi
     Its probably too late now
     I might try later
     bye

The Man Across The World
Old Stoney Jul 2017
You could be taught
Like my mind
And learn to play notes
Like I play my mine

But you will never be

As unique

As the man across the world

Who is just like me

-Weeping willow
Old Stoney Aug 2017
Sing sing
Oh so low
Sing so soft so nobody knows
Sing sing
Quietly
Sing so soft or everybody weeps

Bottle up those feelings or everybody weeps
Bottle up those feelings or nobody sleeps
Lie down on your pillow

Bottle up those feelings
- weeping willow

The Future
Old Stoney Jul 2017
It's coming fast
And it's coming strong
Don't look back
Because before too long
The future will be here

I cannot change the speed of time
What would be the use?
Would I stop death?
Or fight off crime?

Soon enough it all will end
The future will be here
And take you my dear

I do not want this
But I cannot change
The future within us
It is set in its ways

I will not fight this
because I am weak
It hurts me to confess
And accept defeat..

My love for you may last my lifetime
but for the future it is only a matter of time
It will consume my thoughts
And leave them to die
Because it is so cold
From the future I will hide

if you weren't here
Old Stoney Aug 2017
if you weren't here
id think of you
every morning
every evening
and every  night
I wouldn't get anything right

if you weren't here I'd leave
i'd go
I don't know where
but it would hurt
every morning
every evening
and every night
I wouldn't get anything right

if you weren't here
I still might be
and you'd live
every morning
evening
and night
without me
I couldn't sleep
so please
just get here
so I can stay, sleep
and be

it's okay
Old Stoney May 2018
What if one morning I wake up screaming
What if what morning I'm not there
Sitting next to you in my chair

I THE MAN
Old Stoney May 2018
I  the man
did it just like the movies
right where you use to sit
I  the man
went
and I  the man realized
that this
this moment my life had lead me to
was in fact
not a movie
but a chance
to become a new me

I  the man

wreck it
Old Stoney May 2018
If I see the chance to wreck I'm going to mess it up real good
If I see the Chance I'm going straight through the hood
I hope I wreck so I never see your face again
Man wouldn't that be nice
I'd probably break my neck again
Like the first time I saw you
The heaviest glance
244 · Nov 2017
What
Old Stoney Nov 2017
thinking about not existing makes
my head warm and want to cry
but being here any longer
makes me wonder what its like to die
im not unhappy
I'm just not happy

FALL
Old Stoney Nov 2017
I don't look for the future
because I see what has past
they'll soon discover time travel
and i'll be the first to ask

They asked me for a reason
and when I said the season
they looked at me
like falling means anything to them

See they made a science
but all I hear is silence
so please
please just take me back

I'll wake up in the morning
and be right next to you
i'll whisper oh so softly
and just enjoy the view
knowing that you
were made for me

I won't get my hopes up just in case they fail
i'll get a job and grow up
and live this little hell
but believe
i'll be the first to ask
and we will
fall in to the past
and we will
fall in love at last

lullaby
Old Stoney Jan 2018
Write yourself a lullaby
take your thoughts
and say goodnight
get in bed
close your eyes
and write yourself
a lullaby

Her heart
Old Stoney Jul 2017
Her heart cried
one thousand times amplified through mine

Maybe
Old Stoney Jul 2017
I've been sick these last few days
This isn't just a letter
I really feel this way
Sick to my stomach
In an unconscious state

I am not down
I am not sad
Maybe just this once
I really am mad

I could be mad at all the things that I have done
All these half written songs
Left unsung
Maybe it's my fault I am this way
Or maybe its your fault for moving away
221 · Nov 2017
I wrote you a song
Old Stoney Nov 2017
I wrote you a song
I know I wrote you one
I worked on it yesterday  
it was beautiful
I know it was
it was you
in my words
but I can't find it
and that hurts

Ice cream
Old Stoney Oct 2017
If I were an ice cream
I'd be melted
left on the floor
***** and stepped in

I use to be sweet
so full of taste
now I just melt
such a sweet waste

when you see me
do not stop
I'll ruin your clothes
and stink up your mop

if I were an ice cream
id be melted
but don't feel bad
its better than what I felt then
if you were an ice cream what would you be?
214 · Jan 2018
Less
Old Stoney Jan 2018
Most these days
I fill my mouth
With ***** and smoke
Just To get you out

With every cup
And every puff
I hope to taste
Less of love

with every cough
And every sip
I know I’ll feel
Less if it

My words
Old Stoney Jan 2018
What if my lyrics aren't good enough for you
What if I put myself in a song and you don't listen
I could catch you with a melody or a key change
But I want it to be heard in the words that I say
Please find some sort of meaning in my words my darling

Until I sing to you I will understand

This is no story
This is just a plead
So please
Listen and hear
These words that I bleed

I could catch you with a melody or a key change
But I want it to be heard in the words that I say
Never again will it be said this way
Please find some sort of meaning in my words my darling

Until I sing to you
Please remember me
And these words that have been sung
Will never be heard the same
