Hiding nothing from each other,
Only good feelings and pleasure,
Never going to let go,
Except one of us lied,
Secretly playing the feild,
To find true love elsewhere,
Leaving me behind,
You move on alone,
???

At the height of my sleep deprivation
I saw the sun rise two times in one day  
And my brain cried out in desperation
As all my thoughts remain in disarray.
My blankets are trying to smother me.
I've memorized the cracks in the ceiling.
I just need for my body to be free,
To escape this never ending feeling
That I will always be trapped in my mind
Haunted by the ghosts of my past mistakes
Unable to face the world I will find
When this fever eventually breaks.
Only in my dreams do I find my peace
That is where all my anxieties cease

Her eyes used to have this sparkle;
like stars twinkling in the night sky.
But now, all you see is the glisten
of her tears that roll down her cheeks.

The light makes my eyes drop,
The heat makes me weak,
My ears close to outside,
And fill with songs of sleep.

My hand becomes my pillow,
My chair becomes my bed,
My eyelids, now, my curtains,
As stars light up my head.

Green Eyed Blues
I decided to ride the slide sideways

Letting my feet hang over

And one edge guide my neck

I went straight down for a second or two

But with my eyes to sky
I didn't worry

Rather, I just enjoyed the view

I am
Sometimes just because

With no pause
Sometimes caused by my flaws

From what was
Sometimes from me breaking the human laws

From what I have done
Sometimes  because I had to run

  From what I have caused
Sometimes from what cannot  be undone

Of how I treated someone
Sometimes from how I treated everyone

From how I treated my loved ones
Sometimes from how I let everyone down

From me acting like a clown
Sometimes from me being a letdown

Of  how I just shutdown
Sometimes from not staying around  

Because of the people I have blamed
Sometimes from the people that I have shamed

Ashamed
No more
From what I have  done
Because no more will it be done

Does not stand still
People think  it's not a big deal
Just something measured by a clock
Tic-Tock
  
No matter what you do it cannot be blocked
It never stops
and cannot be stopped
It will never halt
It has never been seen
Embedded into our genes
It's presence we should be aware
It lingers in the air  
You know it's there
It has such importance
Then why is it so distorted

In a flash of  light
it is night
Before you know it
we are grown
Then the questions
How much of it was blown?
How much of it did I spend on the phone ?
Why did I spend so much of it alone ?
Did I spend enough of it with my own ?

Then we go to our grave
Where there will be no more
Time
and
None remains

I can feel it in my feet
a little tingle, a little tweak
as if I'm floating
  above the sea—
And no ones eyes
are watching me.

My heart pounds with alteration,
I think I live to change the face I
wear around, fit to occasion—
I crave to preserve who I truly am.

Fueling my spirits sinfully,
I revel in poisoning
my frail body with much glee,
despite damage done to me.

what i see is a generation of funeral pyres
what i see is children being scattered like
seeds scattered like ashes
chasing a dream that promised us joy
what i see is something wandering
wild and perfect and broken
i think that's it's god
i don't know anything about god

what i hear is my best friends choking down
their fear with a bottle on the weekends
what i hear is a story called "joy" and how
my name fits in it like a wisdom tooth
in an overcrowded mouth
what i hear is that things get worse
before they get better
i don't know anything about getting better

what i feel is lonely
what i feel is sick to death of always running
from what i know, from what i don't
what i feel is tired
of this race i never signed up for
what i feel is like maybe there never was joy,
like maybe all happiness is
is the spaces between aches
that we fill with anything soft
i don't know anything about being soft

what i say is nothing because
fear is a wired jaw
and joy is pulling teeth
one can't exist in the presence of the other
i don't know anything about anything other
