I've been sitting here wondering
Conversing with the girls next to me about who they are going to take home tonight
Many of them don't have any cash so I spot them a 20
As any gentleman would do for the herein in destress
Right?

Wrong
These woman are not who they say they are
They've been taking over our brains
Because what you don't know is that they are actually aliens
I hope that they are aliens because at least they would come in peace

I've been thinking a lot about space travel
I want to go away for awhile
Take me to where there are unicorns and griffons and gnomes
A place that is magical
Because as of right now
I don't want to be in the United States of America
Because we can't decide between a women and a corrupt business man
To run our country
What does it matter anyway

Well all die one day and we won't know what's next until we do
So maybe just maybe we should all hold hands and somehow we could break the portal of life and death with our bonds
I am pretty sure that is just wishful thinking
I am going to miss you guys because I know that we are going to grow old and start dying off
That makes me sad

I've been thinking about going off the grid for awhile
Just taking my phone and smashing it into pieces so that my head can seem a little clearly
Because right now I'm really foggy and I don't have a broomstick to knock down all of the cobwebs

I'm sorry this one sounds a bit weird
It's been a rough day

Blood runs down my face from a cut on my forehead from a beer bottle that you through at me the night before
I taste metal
I'm seeing crimson
This is my own fault
You're leaving with the slam of the door
Two words come to mind
I'm sorry

I can't see straight
The windshield is smeared
It's been a downpour this whole time
I'm driving down the street
100 on the highway
Headlights are flying past me
Two words come to mind
Liberate me

Tell me what I could do
Bring you back in this bed
Blood stains are covering the sheets
Handprints on the walls
I've itching to taste you again
Our nights together play in my mind
Over and over again pushing me
Two words come to mind
Love me

This doesn't feel the same
The lights are out and the candles you lit are flickering
This is the end
One moment bleeds into another
I'm burning the books that my father read to me as a child
6 billion people in the world
And I'm only thinking of you
Two words come to mind
Come home

Survival of the fittest
But I never fit in anywhere
I'm floating on the dust of the gun
The spider are weaving through homes in my bones
I can't keep wishing on this sickness
Two words come to mind
Wake up

The rope pulls on my throat
Scratching and clawing
I'm thinking hang in there
My foot is slipping now
A note falls to the floor
Words scribbled in black ink
"Please stay alive"
Two words come to mind
Forgive me

This is the last piece of work that Im going to put pen to paper
This is the last time that I am going to bed with tears in my eyes

Blood is coming up from my throat
I've been coughing up all of the soot that sits in my stomach
In these poems I've said you many times thinking I was talking to someone else
I'm been playing myself

The only person I've been talking to is myself
This is not broken affairs
It's holding hands and blank stares

You said I'm sorry
And I think for once you meant it
Because for once I could see your tears
For once I felt something genuine in my heart
For once I think I caught a glimpse of you
There I go again
Talking to someone who isn't there

Remember that time that we walked through the field of flowers
And came out covered in petals and stings from bees that were just trying to pollinate
Oh wait I was alone that night

Remember that time we walked home from the restaurant because there was no gas in the car
It was a 2 and a half hour walk and I was alone then too

See there's a problem with you
Because every time that I think of you I find me
I don't want to anymore

A boy saw a girl
She had the greenest of hair
The thought of seaweed came to mind but yet the most beautiful leaf that he had ever seen
He tried to ask for her name but instead he gave her his
She smiled and said one simple word
Daisy
The boy couldn't help but grab for her hand
She wasn't something that he could just let go of
She was a wildfire while simultaneously becoming the calmest of air
She could put the light in your eyes and take it away just as easy with one glance
The boy had no chance
The caster of his dreams was now standing in front of him staring at him with eyes begging for adventure
And don't get me wrong that had the best of times
But all good things come to an end
It is all just too good to be true
Her brain had other plans for her
The boy found her unconscious many nights and it felt that she was losing herself
Her thoughts
She turned to alcohol to bide her convictions
What couldn't be said in person could be fixed at the bottom of a bottle of jack
Slurred mannerisms lead to unintentional regret
She was getting worse
The doctors told her 3 weeks
She couldn't even bring herself to get out of bed
The boy wanted to help but what could he do
Lay with her and give her his hand
One ceremony for life and one for death
One final conversation between the two able bodies efore heaven housed a new angel
Please tell me that you won't give up she said
With tears welling up in his eyes
He replied
I will see you in another life daisy
And I will love you just as much as I do now
Goodbye

This is our first date
I didn't know where to take you
So I took you to see my grandma
She was always the life of the party
Funny how life works sometimes

I have been planting flowers around her grave
Because the gravediggers don't quite understand how much she was worth

The man that went to war and came back without his legs can't come see her because their only child is a good for nothing

Yes I'm talking about my father
He tried his best but something in him just didn't click
The only thing he could think of money and how wet he could get his ****

If this isn't coming right
Let me try again
Your hair reminds me of the flowing of our bodies when we are intertwined
Skeleton bones will be undug to walk amongst us again
Your smile reminds me of hers and oh god do I feel so warm

Being up on this hill with you
Fingers laced in one another
Your blue eyes beaming at how beautiful this meadow is
I hope that I can lay here with you

Envy
Remember that guy in high school that was the best at everything? That wasn't you and you just couldn't understand why you were born to be the worst. You laid up at night ****** at your parents for not being better so that it could've been passed down to you. The only hurdle holding you back is yourself

2. Gluttony
At the lunch table, your friends made fun of that fat kid who sat alone, face full of acne. The thing they didn't know was that he'd go home to an adoption center because not even his own parents wanted him. Now he eats and eats to fill the void and despair that he feels in his bones. What does that make you

3. Lust
That girl that lays in your bed, dressed in lace and cheap red lipstick will be leaving in the morning. Hold on to the moment that she gives you what you are paying for and make sure you tip her. She's going home to a daughter of nine where in her eyes, she still shines. You've got no spine. Go out and give someone a moment of your time instead of spending another dime. Take this for what it is, an affectionate kiss that is only missing the feeling of pure bliss.  

4. Greed
You grew up thinking that money grows on trees when in reality it doesn't come from just dreams. You have to work for what you believe in and work with your own two hands to achieve it. The economy would be a better thing if we didn't give so much value to money. Every single thing costs and if you don't have to give, there are consequences. Take that dollar, rip it up and go out and breathe the fresh air

5. Pride
I've been sitting up all night thinking about you, grandpa. You were my hero. But you weren't the same when you came back from the war. PTSD got the best of you.
You didn't remember us but we were still there and will continue to keep you in our thoughts. You were too scared of what was to come to not run away. I'm sorry

6. Wrath
Your father was a very confident man but he was always taking it out on your mother. You wanted to do something but you couldn't because you were an 8 year old boy that still cried when you scraped your knee. How were you supposed to help? Now it's been 4 years and you been pushing your body to its limit to show him what a real man is

7. Sloth
It's the feeling of not being able to get out of bed in the morning because you just don't have the energy. Not hanging out with your family because you simply don't want to. Your brain and body are connected, don't forget that without happy thoughts your body will not understand the simplest of tasks

8. Fear
This is the moment that you are held at gun point. The feeling of all of your emotions swirled into one ball of mass that is sitting in the bottom of your stomach. Your whole life is flashing through your mind in blurred images and slurred words. The funny thing is that the one holding the gun is you
BANG
