Can you read this?
Can you see me.

I feel like I have not been seen
In a decade.

My thoughts fly
Like a pen on paper

I love you

But those words
Are trapped in my throat

Just let me be kinda to you
Spend time with you

So I have a memory
To look back on

One in the hand is better
than two in the bush

What?!

One in the hand…

Louder!

A sure thing is better than a bet.

Yes.

But how do you ever feel alive?

You don’t.
Its an investment.
It’ll pay off when your 80.
Its bonds verses the stock market

Sort of, its more valuable.
Its your heart.

And last time you were in charge you were rather
Careless

But I’m fun.

We were shattered on the ground.
And you want to make the stakes higher

So the return will be large!

Or we will lose everything.

Gun
With my hand on the trigger
And my eye on the die.
Lets play this f'in game

You be the star.

And I'll say the name.

Whatever makes me strong,
I will live on
I will never move on,
I will never love another [like you]

One day the truth will be told,
In the blood ally,
As it always has been,
Where day and night will have no friend.
To the end they sing,
That death is just the thing,
To push two love birds into the nest,
To give love its very last breath.

For commitment is just the thing,
That despite the words we say,
Love will rue the day we meet.
For fear was in the mind
And love on the fly,
To catch the nearest eye
For soon we will all die.

So admit the love you have,
For the time we have is short,
Is it true or is it false?
To say it on the tip of the tongue,
Its like a yip, or a yell.
Come out, in full force,
And say today, that all I fear for:
Love, life and misery have come true.

I can't go backward.
So I must go forward.
I see nothing outstandingly exciting.
Last year was a blissful time.
Is that because I was ignorant?
Ignorant of what could be?
Ignorant of what I could lose?
Ignorant of what I could gain?

Now I think:
This,
This is what’s meant to be.
Come at me like a roaring lion,
I can take you.

Welcome to my little bit of heaven
There are spots and decays

Welcome to my little bit of heaven
I hope your're here stay.

The traffic here has been in the negative persuasion,
See more people leave then stay.

Welcome to my little bit of heaven,
Oh, hi grim,
Who are you stealing next?
From my little bit o heaven?

My eraser has worn out ages ago.
I'm half way through the book.
But no matter what happens I keep writing down.

The pages of my life are filling up fast.
You may have a chapter, you may not.
