Ocean eyes
so deep and blue
I drown in their hue
beautiful and intoxicating
I promise I’m not overrating
Long lashes
silken sashes
but what enthrals
most of all
is the love that I see
When they gaze at me

I sit in pain
As my mind starts to collapse
Trembling fingers
On the verge of a relapse
Stuck thinking about my evil past
And so many people
Say there here
But I'm alone
Not physically but mentally
I'm unstable
I'm unable
To wear this smile anymore
I'm wondering the point of change
When my soul and mind stay the same
And to be honest
I'm the one to blame
Because after all it was my actions that made my life go aflame
And as I remember I feel intense shame
But nothing compares to my severe pain
I can feel the throb deep in my brain
The voice screaming saying I'm insane

So I cry and I scream
And I beg and I plead
But my mind
It still bleeds
And my heart
It still needs
And my soul
Fights this disease
But how long am I alone
Do I fight
Or just go
Am I loved
Or despised
Am I a hero
In your eyes
Or a *******
Or a failure
Or a loser
Or a disgrace
This face
This face
Had had to many tears
Over so many years
So I must say
Who will stand by my side today

you told me I could tell you anything.

and from my tongue slipped chaos.

broken consonants, faulty vowels, damaged syllables.

from my heart slipped shattered feelings that cradled every word that was to be delivered to your sensitive ears.

I spoke unto you everything that was hidden.

I brought them back to life and served them to you on a platter so silver you can see my innocence fading from your eyes looking back at you as you stared in it.

and from my soul slipped trust.

and into your hands it entered.

and then I was safe.

you may not have understood.

but you listened.

and that was more than I could do for myself.
I would LOVE feedback!  :)

It's funny, y'know?
every guy
dreams of
a girl
around eighteen or so
wide hips
a tight ***
firm *******
flawless skin
perfect hair
kissable lips
and eyes you could drown in
then a guy meets one of these
magazine girls
and she tells him
she wants nothing to do with him
at which point
she changes in the blink of an eye
from an image of divine perfection
into just another
******* ******* ****
it's funny how that works out

reflecting upon a cigarette
I discovered a small fact
the middle burns stronger
any ash comes from the edge
the same is true of people
we age,
wrinkle,
decay,
rot,
die,
but  we still burn incredibly bright
from our centers
don't let the fire
ever die

ugh
you have me
all up in this
trippy tangle
of impulses
thoughts
walks
you make me want to have ***
scream
touch you
you make me so
frustrated
every time you squeeze me
in a big hug
kiss my
forehead
you make me wish
you weren't such
a nice guy
i have some other things
on my mind
love me
roughly

...please?

Goodbye this world of blue and green,
and its four corners I've not seen,
good people far and in between,
still searching for forgotten dreams.

Goodbye my family and friends,
unwittingly repeating trends,
the childish banter never ends,
when leaders fail to make amends.

Goodbye the things that I will miss,
the scent of grass, a loved one's kiss,
I choose to cross the great abyss,
with memories to reminisce.

So goodbye Earth before you're dead,
I'll leave this land for pastures red,
with hopes and dreams that fill my head,
I'll start a new life there instead.

I pray for nightmares to take me away
From this place I dwell.
I pray for a greater pain to act-
To distract-
In fact-
I don't pray at all-
I just fall...

Sometimes I feel like a participation trophy.
Congrats, you did it.
Here's to commemorate your dedication
Now goodbye, go do something better with your time
Earn something you're not afraid to show off
That's worth more than this five cents of plastic
Unless, of course, you're not good at anything
In which case look, everyone, at my trophy.
I participated in something
That took more effort than eating food or breathing
I showed up sometimes
And did some stuff
And I got this trophy I can put on my top shelf
So everyone can see it's a trophy,
But no one knows I barely earned it.
Not that anyone cares anyway

Lost in my mind
Found in a fog
Fighting a war
With no armies
Losing the battle
Winning the war
Forgotten what
I'm fighting for
For nothing
For something
For the right
To feel peace
Or the right to war
This is what
I'm writing for

I was looking out my window
when I saw you bike by,
I thought about calling your name-
hesitated,
and you rode past.


So sweet
the air,
running through my hair
while I ride my bike,
so soft
the air,
as it caresses my cheek,
I peddle faster
the air
rushing past me.
My bike transports me
I ride until I reach the blue horizon
until the Earth falls away from me.
The endless ripples and
waves soar and swell as
I try to smell
salty air-
but there’s only
a sweet breeze-
a warm hand
gliding across my cheek.


There is no
        window.
