She said she was fine
But her tear filled eyes screamed "I need help"
They eyes never lie
they come from all the words
left unsaid in our heads
blood from all the swords
bleach the paper red

they come from all the songs
left unsung in/at our wakes
from all our deathbed wrongs
till death do us part (for our sake?)

they come from all the paintings
left undone, hung upside down
stabbed into the wall, only waiting
for us to make our rounds

where do poems come from?
they come from us, to you
from you, to us,
from you, to you.
This community amazes me again and again. I love it here.
i always have
the urge to run.

but what is it like
to be a tree?

to be confident enough
to root yourself
and grow with
wild abandonment,
being unapologetically
you?

i'm still running,
but i wish i knew.
You say
life is
meaningless

I say
that’s the only way
you can give it your own
purpose
I look at the moon and think of you.
Keep on keeping on  never stop breathin
free   no place to flop
Keep on breathin walk walk step
keep on breathin   don't forget

Feel the heartache  keep on breathin
hurts so much   life caused it
Breathin breathin never stop
your not here if you don't fit

Oh baby  oh oh baby  oh baby
do wah do wah do wah

Under water for five days  breathin
a wonder   i'm amazed  just breathin
Oh oh baby breathin still breathin
till the end of days

do wah
Every time I thought of you
My hands shake with the aching need to write about you
Before my feelings for you were all that occupied my mind
You are the poem I always want to write
I need music
Like I need oxygen to breath
Without her I would die
You are like the moon
You shine even in the dark
