I climbed out the window,
and slowly every sight I was sure of turned into nothing but sound.
There was one thing that my ears caught in particular though.
For the first time in months they caught you gazing,
searching in the sky for our star.

Draw a time capsule
Out of words,
So I can go back
To when we spoke.

Paint a rose
Out of my dreams,
So I can smell again
Like when we slept.

Load another bullet
Out of your fear,
So I can feel again
For when we shiver.

The sharp whistle of winters breath upon my neck
beckons that I turn my head and look back at the foot prints that meander behind.
These complex engravings may share the same code as another individual,
but the trail will never lead to the same place.

As my nape is kissed by death herself
the past is slowly turned over with the fluid motion
that follows my mind through the path of yesterday;
which never seems to fill itself up more than once.

Worthless, it deems itself, as it’s an area that
i’m already proficient with knowledge of.
Though archaeology has proven to dig up
more false statements than any
jury duty has ever rested a decision on.

Suddenly authenticity flutters into my eyes,
with a clear glimpse of my frozen toes and all the glitters that come and go.
This movement of enlightenment occurred
the same instant my mind transferred back to reality, and what lied ahead.

Imagine a painting,
but instead of having colors or images
it was filled with emptiness.

When you saw it
all sight and sound were put below
on a hierarchy of needs.

As you reached to
feel the density of the of the canvas, you felt no barrier
between your skin and the air.

Your unknowing contact
with this image upon the barren wall continues to remove
your sense to taste or smell.

Sensory deprivation has been achieved.
You no longer have any feelings except for your thoughts,
which are rendered useless without stimulation.

In the piercing lonesome,
you are left to create new memories in your mind;
Some of them kindle the past.

The majority of them are ideas
that you have never seen before; they can only be described
as works of evil.

I grew up to rooting on the underdog,
but turned into the person who crushed them.
I spent countless nights writing poetry about the people I loved
but ended up being labeled the antagonist of the story.
I was the gentle giant who went down his righteous path
but accidentally crushed innocent people along the way.

Some people were born with all the right intentions
but all the wrong characteristics.
A person who hurts another person unknowingly
should still have all the rights of a person who didn't.
Or perhaps that’s backwards,      
Perhaps we really belong in the trash.

Every now and again spawned from this tyranny
is a leader.
A person who is at the top
but feels sorrow and remorse for those they hurt along the way.
A person who won’t stop giving
until they have filled the debt they have created, and then some.

Being an inspiration isn't about optimism
nor is it about knowing just what to say when you are given a chance.
It’s more about living life in a rhythm
not torn and withered after meeting everyone's demands.

So **** tired,
But I can not sleep.
Because I won’t be hers,
And I feel so weak
Against what occurs,
Not a word I’ll speak
For I’ll share my heat.
I’ll put her first,
And kiss her cheek.
When she’s her worse
I’ll lift her to the peak.

With infinite knowledge,
And maybe the last dance.
Won’t stop until the law’s abolished,
Not until we can share the same glance.
Love's is a hell of a drug.
