Darkness eats at the souls
of the lonely,
Devouring their senses
Heightening their fears

Darkness is not,
evil,
bad,
or mean,
But the fear of darkness
is all those things

You're far away
But I can touch you
You have my heart
But you don't want it
You're flying
But I am falling
I'm crying at your feet
But you don't care
You leave me cold and alone
But I am not asking why.

Sometimes he let his eyes rest on hers, it needn't have been painful,
but it strangely was.
He broke a lifetime of avoiding eye contact to show her.
She was worth overcoming obstacles for.

I used to take the back off
the telephone and stuff it with rags
and when somebody knocked
I wouldn't answer and if they persisted

to vanish.

just another old crank
with wings of gold
flabby white belly

how it unravels,
I have no
explanations

it’s drive lingers like cold wind
clouding judgment
grazing skin

it will never go as planned
but it is as entertaining
as it is indecisive

If you follow me
I swear I’ll
drop you
into a
hole

No amount of love
is going to get you
out of there
so start digging
you might find some
bodies down there
make sure they’re dead

I’ve never made love to thunder
because my ears would be ringing
and I once had an eating disorder
that required purging and binging

Stop throwing your
sympathy everywhere
I’m not growing any younger
I wish all of you would realize
that
no one gives a **** about
your shoes or your dreams

don’t blame me if you can’t crawl out the cave
