Heart leads to heartbreaks and love letter hand grenades.

Love lead me down into the mines of emotions and lost in the dark I found a shining gem I thought was priceless, turns out the only claim I staked was my future heart.

If you love something set it free and if you wanna be free then follow me, save your heart for the time being because bad things always happen in threes.

When the sky is rose and the world glows you're on top, when the sky is grey and you're walking through heartbreak ally you're in the gutter.

If you love something let it go and if it comes back then be ready for the second attack, sharks smell blood. The harder you fall, the harder your heart pumps, blood in the water and sadly you're going down the drain.

Captain goes down with the ship, good ship S.O.S

Cupid's arrow, accurate and narrow; struck me in the heart
pinned me to the ground and I wormed my way around back to my feet only to have my jaw drop as lovestuck hit me again.

Dumbstruck and punch drunk I retired to the corner for a much needed rest.

It was a three, five, ten count and just like that I was out- of love.

The horseshoe had spun round and when the relationship was over I was left with just my pride standing on the lonely high ground.

So this is a cautionary tale, playing love games feels so right it can't be wrong, until it goes wrong and you're picking up what's left.

But love is what we do, and love is what we need, so once again if I love, I love and you can bet I'll fall into it again.

Bad dreams are keeping me awake at night,
Bad T.V. replaces my nightlite

Late night; chatting my life away

T.V. and Netflix streaming tan, burned out eyes watch plots twist and turn before my eyes

Elitist thought has been co-opted by the shows we watch.

Sad news I'd rather not listen at all, politics cause too much to do.

Entertainment!

All night long.

Live from any device I want, it's another elitist opinion about another show I don't watch.

I was beat Orange is the New Black for building a House of Cards, I had to play the Game of Thrones in order to meet Dexter in his House. I went into the Office and often checked in with the department of Parks and Rec.

I was told only trust the doctors who wear Scrubs, Stranger Things have happened then living a life by characters. When I unplug from this device I get lost on the long drive while podcasts make me think higher of my mimic-self.

That's Entertainment!

That's all folks!
Curtains colse on one act plays while stage hands scramble to clear the rubble and make new debris.

That's Entertainment!

I was caught in an Infinity War of advertisements all declaring I was the right target for their product, I'm not mad I'm too tired to be mad so I just sigh and walk by defeated.

Boo-hoo for the moral stance, acting like you had any to start.

If it wasn't for the culture vampires most of you wouldn't have an opinion to be angry about or agree with.

That's Entertainment!

Crosses and prayer,
the holy man let down his hair.

Bended ***** knee, cracked hands and fear for all to see.

Holy man, say your peace then let it rest.

Holy man, say your prayers and deliver us from our sins.
Deliver us from whatever you may deliver us, a message from the beyond telling us that time spent here wasn't spent wasting on and on.

Crosses and prayers and thoughts and hopes, holy water to ******.

Count the beads on a the rosary, Sinners, aren't we all?

I am divided between the devil inside and the angel I show the world.
If both are me, am I divinely wicked or wickedly innocent?

I cast myself down and do not cover my head, for I fear no wrath of the judgement, I am who I am and I live how I live, for freedom is my first choice.

Ghost tunes, do you dance at the edge of my mind.
Haunted music I hear you before me.
And so as I fall into a troubled sleep, you are with me. My fated soundtrack to the afterlife.

Great Beethoven do you torment me so?

Master of the symphony do you choose to curse me so?

I sleep not on the edge of sanity for whenever I approach repose you come snarling back, like a demon of sound at my mind.
Gnawing at my soul, Poe- you have doomed me you blackbird, vile creature and black cats who haunt me from under floorboards.

I spend time on waking life for sleep has long since left me and now the ethereal tunes do keep me company.

For I am living for the ghosts of Master's past, and so in my fairytale life there is no resort, there is no break.
Haunt me Masters and show me your torment, allow me to steal from the ghosts of the past, the greater minds than I.

Haunted, I am.

I love you, so said the words on the letter.
He cast it into the fire and up into the air went the promise of forever.

Today a heart broke.

Today rings left hands and final vows were took.

Thrashed by the side, groom left the bride, son left his dad, mother sold the daughter

hearts left by the wayside.

Today a promise was made, a life was saved, a vow was taken.
Today a lie was spoken, a heart was woken, a fire was stoked and a the fated lovers joked of their ill future fates.

Sealed with a kiss, deceit on the lips.

We're only together so we don't have to be alone, we're only alone so we don't have to commit, we don't have to commit so we don't let ourselves down, we don't let ourselves down so we don't end up alone.

Dog eat Dog and Cat eat Cat, if Fish catch Fish, I won't none of it.

If man vs man or man vs machine, I opt out and stay sidelined for some wars aren't mean to be won.

I wonder when this will ever stop? If foodchain politics exist where do most of us go?

If politicians have armies and armies are made of men and women, where is the soul of the unit?

If it's us vs them and me vs you and survival says we both have a fifty-fifty shot why not team up and use one hundred percent?

I'm not asking for peace just saying there's a better way at home.

Connect with your neighbor because soon this will fall apart and when it does it's us vs them and wild vs man, and when nature decides that we're too much of a bother, we'll be nothing more than a blip on the map.

If it's dog eat dog and cat eat cat and if fish catch fish, I'll opt out and stay sane and safe, I'll use sage wisdom to maintain where I'm at.

Someday this will pass and someday we'll look back and laugh.
Someday we'll know this was just small bumps in the road.

Someday we'll hold hands and walk down the high roads of memory lane, and when we walk down the lowest of lows, we'll be wiser with our time.

All things pass, good, the bad, and the ugly.

We live in the wild west- but do we ever learn?

What makes a person learn? How many times do we have to get burned before we learn fire hurts, how many times must we be gored before we understand the bull has horns?

I stumble and you know, I watch you cross icy roads as you slip and slide and yet this all just another human thing.

Just another human thing, just another human being.

We grow and someday when this all behind us, we can share a laugh.
