As we're driving i smile and nod
But inside I feel like I'm being torn apart
Like I'm being dragged away
Ripped out of the colors that make up life
As we drive further and further the world is slowly turning grey
Without you in it I feel like I'm fading away
The sunlight is too bright
The air too cold
The blade in my back pocket weighing me down
Calling for my attention
It hurts but I promised to be strong
I wrote this on the way out to Colorado
Me
As time runs by
As the sun begins to rise
Flashbacks haunt my mind
Thoughts of the way I look
If I will ever be mislooked
If what I say is being mistook
Am I doing what I should
Its a constant battle which no winner is pronounced
Being me is a constant hastle
I felt the mean of hurt
To the extent my body begins to fade
When I love I love to no limits
That my whole body is a puppet to control
Your happiness is my light and your pain is my demies.
My personality is other people to like and for me to suffer.
It's like a buffer for others and it kills me from inside.
Come with me, we'll go on a spree
Spend some time to see
If this can turn into we

Talk of what we feel
Walk together toe then heel
See if our pace matches for real
See if we can compromise and deal

We'll stop to picnic by a stream
Eat perfect strawberries with the freshest cream
The rhythm of this day has been a dream
We are happy, or so it may seem

We watch the sunset from the top of the hill
This day spent together has been such a thrill
As the evening comes it brings with it a chill
With your arm round me the earth seems to stand still

As we return to where we began our day
Tomorrow you will travel along on your way
If I could only be brave enough to say
All the words you need to hear, to make you stay

But it would never be right
I couldn't make you live with such contrite
So we say goodbye--so sweet and polite
I'll always wonder if I should have
Put more into the fight

My heart degenerates into a dark storm
Nought left of that calm warm horizon or your bright sun
No up, no down nor the silence of form        
Unbound savagery bleeds from my skin

Would that I could
gather space about me
engender love from emptiness  
And attain your broad shape out from the darkness

A Lopez
A man
Takes care of his gal.
A man
Takes a stand and fights down and out.
A man
Supports his babies and wife.
A man
Does what's needed,the protector of what's right.
A man
Kisses his ******* her head.
A man
Brings flowers no matter living or dead.
A man
Can listen and not just hear my tone.
A man
Makes me warm, not freeze me to the bone.
A man
Is always here, never leaving me alone.
A man
Is noone here,
I'm
Waiting
By
The
Phone
You close your ears
I'll close my eyes
Maybe we'll make it through
This life filled with lies

No one's to blame
No need for shame
Everyone knows this
Is all just a game

With your habits
With my disposition
Life for us has become
A state of deception

What about an end
With no regrets
We would each walk away
And just forget

No more anger
No longer doubt
We need to accept
That this hasn't worked out

Goodbye to monotony
So long to boredom
Admit it, we both
Deserve our freedom
Has anyone noticed how sad it is?
It can seem like the only thing people look to succeed in,
Is in loosing weight.
People constantly talk about it.
Don't pretend you don't hear their plans.
No one seems to be happy.
They just want to loose weight.
Okay if you're not a healthy weight,
It's good to try to loose some.
Well that depends on how.
Then there's those who are skinny.
Or even just a decent size.
It seems like no matter what they all want to be lighter.

Then there's people like me.
You see I'm here too,
But this isn't what I choose to do.
Call me fat if you want to.
Call me what you like.
I eat what I want.
How much I want.
Whenever I want.
I have no limit and I don't keep a record.
If you kept on track of what I eat,
And you think it's unhealthy.
Still you can say what I want.
I still look after myself in the way that I am healthy.
I'm not the healthiest of course.
I don't really mind.
I'm fine so I don't care.
It's not like I'm skinny.
I don't know if you'd call my body decent,
As it's all about the beholder.
Here's what I think,
It's that I'm probably the happiest about my body.
Or at least for the past year just gone.
I'm not bothered to change.
Why try to loose weight,
When my weight's okay?
Right now I don't mind my body.
I wouldn't get fulfilment out of workouts and diets.
Not right now.
That would not make me happy.
More likely stressed and annoyed.
I won't set myself up for failure,
For a success I don't even want.
