Some days I wonder
Other days I slumber
All the days that I dream of
Fade away

And as I go to sleep I try very hard
To count the sheep but they keep moving on
And I run after them but they end up flying
Like cherry blossoms during the summer

I tried very hard to be a good person
But the butterflies flutter around me
They are afraid that it'll hurt them
That I will destroy them
But all I wanted was to feel an embrace

I don't understand why the flowers wilt away
Or why the apples turn brown and wrinkly
But I know

Is that the season come and go
And the times passes me by
All I want to go is sleep here with you
And forget the death that surrounds us on all sides
All I want to do is be here beside you

But life is creeping up and snatching us further apart

Flowers they flutter and shrink

I want to remind you of broken prayers
That we can always leave this world behind
But then we will have less time
So we will let time control us
I don't want to leave this world behind

All the colors they shine so brightly
And they fill my vision with a vibrancy I didn't see before

All I wanted was to live forever
But we all know that's impossible

And the world keeps changing colors from green to brown
The morning dew freezes up and shatters
Due to time

And the world will fall apart
I will have you in my arms
I know the pain's too much
Don't forget me

The pain will never fade
It will live inside our brains
We try to escape its grasp
But we're firmly in its clasp

But this is our purpose
All in due time

In The Name of Life

Life will shatter and grow from the burnt ground again

All the memories they grow like trees after snow
But they will never stop
When a person's heart stops beating
I will make sure that their soul lives inside you
So that you don't wilt away like the daisies of yesterday
I don't want to lose your friend
Your the only thing I have

I realize its all dream
We're you ever really there
Or was it a figment of my imagination
Trying to comfort me from

The Name of Life

Pain surrounds me
Like meadows of daisies
They are white and so pure
Against the burning

And I'll close my eyes

Do you dream of yourself crying?
Does your heartache for more?
Even as I am weeping silently
I can't help but yearn.

I am still silently crying
Reaching out blindly for more
Laughter cannot cure my sadness
I can't help but yearn.

Though I may not be crying
That doesn't mean I want nothing
Chest constricting inside me
I can't help but yearn.

Commemorate
When days went by
In tides that were
Harnessed by the moon

Cicadas
Crooning melodies
In the summer heat
Near the riverbank

Straining
To caress my hand
Trying to mend the
Growing divide

Irredeemable
Are those moments
Juvenile woe
Intertwined with hope

Pretentiously
You laugh at me
I smile behind
A facade of Cheer

Exasperated
I ascend from you
Conjure up the will
To say farewell to you

I got my problems
******* with a red bow

I got precautions
Lining out of the door

And if I listen to them
I wouldn't know

All of the suffering
Outside my home

So I willfully ignore
All I need to know

In my own silence
Ignorance is my home

Paint me a picture
Draw me a song
Sing me a poem

Bring me your dreams
Cover my eyes
In light fairy dust

Sometimes When You
Stand
                You
                             Fall
                                               Asleep.

In the Morning
With Coffee
You Stay
Awake.

Eyes Begin
To Slowly
Close
On
Their
Own.

You Might Be Sleeping
Without a Care.

Make Sure You Bring
A Blanket at Least.

Underneath Covers
Reading Stories of Lovers
Red Cheeks with Trails
Sniffles and Sneezes
Emotions Prevail

There is a weight in my bed
Where you sat and laid in

If we try to step back, retrace
Would it show on my face
Reminding you of this place

It is time to walk in my shoes
Hard making it up to you

There's a lump in my chest
Waiting for you to rest
But you are already dressed

I think it is cruel of you
Leave me out of the blue

Come crashing in
Into the oblivion
On the ledge's edge
Getting frighten
Ending the violence
Cease your cries
Escalating with hate
Telling this tale
Letting my spirit go
Gorging silence

Skin fade into nothingness
Like butterfly wings
On a sunny day

Our hearts and lungs
Break and decay
Withered away like snakes

My feet are broken
Like sycamore trees
That are uprooted

My eyes do not see
Like the horizon
When it meets the sea

All of me
No longer seems to knows
What it feels to be alive

Burst of light
Ricochet against
Moving tides.

Memories float
To the surface
Of my mind.

Smiles creep
On my face.
Pleasant thoughts

Floating high.
Delirium and Pride
Cease to forget.

Moment arrives
For goodbye.
Yet I remember

A forgotten friend

I was calling you
During yesterday
All the moaning
From your bedroom
Must have muffled
My screaming
You didn't hear me
I was pleading

For salvation
From damnation
Some sign of
Exclamation

But you didn't answer
Now I am here to suffer
burning with desire
like a vibrant fire
But what does it consume
Is it me or you?

As I sleep
With Eyes Open
I still Hope
I still Dream

As I fade
Into Oblivion
My Heart Breaks
Shattered and Frayed

I Cried Out

Fragments of Myself
Pieces that are Broken
Do not Form
Do not Unite

Buried in Dirt
I Ache
Severed from Me
I Pray

I Mourn

Crystallizing Scars
My Arms are Weak
Body Weighed Down
Gold Seeping Through

As I Reconnect
I Awaken
To Pain
And Endless Suffering

I Am Outrage

yo no más te quería
yo no te queria dejar

yo no te metia
las palabras en tu bocas

para mi tu eres
un milagro
una belleza

para mi tus abrazos
muy fuertes
fortalezen

para mi tus labios
me dormian
tranquiliza

yo no mas te queria
para una enternidad

He'll never come back
Karma following that boy
Chasing down his lies
People point and cry
No escape until he dies

White noise fills my head
Keeping me ahead
Echoing and rebound
Pounding against my cranium

Pulsating headaches
Retching up my lunch
Spit slipping out
Waterfalls cascade out

See the world in negative
Stars shimmy in front
Clammy hands are quivering
Fingers becoming numb

Sweats and aches in bed
Swearing I'll be dead
Passed out on the lawn
Come morning I'll be gone

My dog just passed away, unexpectedly
In the middle of a hot summer night
It was lying on its side, right next to me

I carry their body, inside my arms
As I look for a big old apple tree
So it can eat apples in heaven

I have all their blankets and toys with me
So that they do not get bored as they
Travel towards the shining bright stars

I still remember their white ears
As I scratched their head as we played
As such memories . . .

To late to give one final walk 'round the block

Such a beautiful morning, with birds singing
As I carry my friend in my arms
I wonder if they're singing them goodbye

Cars are driving by, as I cross the street
Is the black and red blob I see a dead cat?
I wish I had more arms to bring them along

Remember when I first brought you home
You hide underneath my bed
As such memories . . .

And when I gave you your first biscuit
You ran around in circles at my feet
Such a sight . . .

The sun shines brighter as you get heavier in my arms

We reach the cemetery, and right at the entrance
There's a big old red apple tree
I lay them on the floor as I dig

The pile of dirt keeps growing, as I am sweating
I want to make sure you don't dig yourself out
You loved to dig in my garden

When the hole is big and deep enough
I lay your body inside
With all of your belongings

I mark your grave, with your collar and leash
So I can visit when I leave school
I don't want to forget your name

I still feel you on the right side of my bed as I sleep

I am sinking into darkness
Into pain and uncertainty

Noises join to make
Harmonies

I am standing on an island
Facing west without direction

All the voices that I hear
Remedies

Visions fly past me at night
Whales sing with delight

Wails that I listen
Discoveries

The hole in my heart remains
But it still beats
