Futile Love
This phrase, so often repeated as if it were a bluff
And I used to think these words were worn
But now I see that it can’t be said enough
Even if I repeated it since the day that I was born

I would move a mountain just for you to see me
I would crater this world as I start shrieking
How much I love the energy you bring
Every word I hear
Is like music to my ears

And as the ground crumbles below you
I would rip my own heart out if it meant that I could show you
That I would do anything to ensure that I could know you

You may never read this and perhaps it is our destiny
But that feeling in my heart, never to subside
I’d tear through fate itself
Just to call you mine

Don’t You
Don’t you wish
Memories could last forever
To pull the lever
And enter
A nostalgic adventure

Things weren’t always good
But they seem so much better
When you’re on the other side
of the black mirror

It's a tale as old a s time. You never know
how much of a difference someone made
in your life until they're gone. I've known
that for a while yet you never truly
understand it til it happens. I'm laying in
my room right now, and I've just been
thinking. I tried pretending it didn't hurt me
and that everything was normal for the
past few days, but it all came crashing
down on m e today. All the things that I
may have found annoying are now things I
wish I could do again. His white hair
everywhere, him constantly going in and
out of my room. I always slept with the
door open in c a s e he wanted a place to
sleep, but always worried of him shedding
everywhere. I've been thinking of all that,
and just trying to power through it. But as I
was in the shower, I was thinking about my
clothes. My basket is still currently
downstairs and my clothes are still drying,
so l need to put the clothes that are in my
room on the love seat, but I don't want
buddy to get his hair all over them... I broke
down crying. I'm sorry if we didn't treat you
the best Buddy boy, but I always loved you.
I would do it all and all again if it meant we
got to have you back. You are a good boy,
and always protected and cared for us.
You're too cool to forget Budro

Love you, and thank you, Thunder Buddy

Figure
Our highs have been so high
And our downs have been so down
Although this life was painful
I would still want to go around
The world again, with you
Because the happiness I felt
Though can't be reached again
Has still made me smile
And made me a better man
There are some ugly truths
That I don't want to admit
I hope it's not true
But I want to build a better world
And I don't know if you're part of it
But the things you've taught me
And the smiles you've brought me
They certainly will be..

Thank you
For the times that I have cried
You were always by my side
For the times that I was sick
Your warm fur would do the trick
You deserve better
I could not provide
The same warmth
The same comfort
I could only go and hide
If things were different
How I wish they were so
Your embrace would be reciprocated
Oh I wish you could know
How much I love you
This exists
One day you may find
An understanding of all this
Through space and through time
Somewhere in a realm unknown
This message exists
And I hope you realize
Just how much you mean to me
And that I apologize
You'll be in my thoughts
In my heart
And in my soul
We'll never part
I'll think of you and miss you
And I know this sounds crazy
But you're always gonna be
My little lazy baby Daisy.
Thank you
Swim through the dark waters of space
and see the smiling sun
The crowded stars, and sad moon
Blue
Meeting at last, though not for long
Happiness realized in the moment
For is it the act to cheer one up? Or the
hope?
Gaze through the asteroid field once more
And see the smiling sun
The crowded stars, and hopeful moon

Serenity
Inspired by old sun and moon paintings
a n d t h e Star S t o r i e s cover a l b um
Some times I feel like I'm gonna wake up
on grandma's couch, some stupid disney
show is on TV, and she's making breakfast,
and that this was all just a nightmare

Happy Day?
Walking through the clouds of my own imagination
I tried so hard to be like you, your perfect creation
But life throws out the keys of truth with material devastation
Permanent destruction for a limited elation

And I’m tired now
I’m tired of being me, myself and you

A shattered identity, identical reality
Tiptoeing to tow the line of happiness neutrality
And every time it feels like I finally have found me
Over and over again a painful endless finale

And I tried now
I tried being me, myself, and you

Things seem so black and white until they mix to grey
So many things I wish that I could say
I loved the way you hated but like withered rope I fray
Loose ends never to be tied, life serves an empty tray
And these hollow words I pray
Will today be a happy day?
The silver sky cries and cries
As we lay atop a hill
The wetness piercing through our clothes
Violet sparks shimmer in the distance

A violent affair
Yet not a care

Its tears shield us from a cruel world
And as we cozy on a cushion of emerald blades
The wind sings songs of ancient wisdom
Our shared serenity illuminated by the fire in the sky

A newfound bliss in the vastness of this universe
Unfathomable nothingness beyond us
A spark of light in the endless abyss

And yet…

Of all the planets
Of all the space
Of all time

There’s no place I’d rather be
Than with you
Under the silver sky…
Sometimes you wonder your purpose in this wild little world
Scared to make the wrong choice that will cause your life to spiral and swirl
But now I see it’s better to decide than to stall
Cause a wrong choice don’t matter to a supernaut at all

You can ponder, you can shout, you can scream, you can yelp
You can beat your fists ******, yeah that’ll sure help
I know it’s hard to come second again and again
But second place don’t matter when you’re a travelin man

You can fester in the misery or evolve with the times
And if it makes ya feel better put your story in rhymes
Cause even I feel I’m ways from my home, and I think to myself “Am I destined to roam?”
It gets to a point where it makes me feel blue
But remember what Sharpe said, “home is wherever there is you”.

From city to city, from town to town
Now state to state we’re going all round
And if it don’t work out and it just don’t seem fair
Keep movin’ along and you’ll make it somewhere

— The End —
