Poetic T
Gather my
     Wasted moments
And bleach them.

So I can rewrite
    Upon them.


As time is a valuable
            Peice of memory.

And I want every
    Thought to mean
               Something.

When I’m beside you
Like a warm break in the clouds
Alone I feel cold
My 2nd attempt at a Haiku
It's been twenty long years
Puppet to entertain
Stepping back from it now
I'm in awe; Can't explain
Like that saying is said
Definition: insane
To repeat the same actions
Expect not the same
Final outcome, results
Thinking somehow they'll change
Foolishly I'd go back
And would replay our game
Said each time it's the last
I'm done feeling this pain
Once the moment has passed
My conviction will fade

I am stuck in the past
History here to stay
If unknown will relapse
Help me tie off a vein
It all happens so fast
Find myself in a grave
As I'm dying, you laugh
Your messed up and depraved
But the buck I can't pass
I'm the one who's to blame
'Cause the actions I act
Full control I contain
Simply get what is asked
Have no right to complain
Can no longer react
Must take hold of the reigns

If I can't make a path
Set the forest ablaze
Leaving nothing but ash
Flatten over and pave
Stop this ride or I'll crash
Can no longer sustain
My permission not asked
But that all ends today
A court jester for laughs
No more; I will not play
Jump to first; Had been last
Discontinued the race
Hoisted sail on the mast
Moving forward with faith
Don't let door hit your ***
Time you be on your way

I thought she would want to know me

A few words in the inbox
Showed me
I was just a thought

Its no wonder I'm lonely
some say im damaged goods
But i only wanted a chance
To be more than

Anyone would

Want

I thought she'd ask
What i looked like
So i could disappoint
The spotlight

Loneliness is ugly
And that's why
My inbox has no life
To live in her eyes

I thought she would want to know me
If i only looked liked an emoji
She would have told me
About herself
