Born
Walking slow
Cause am drunk

Singing songs
to forget your love

Buying duct
to tape my heart

Weeping for
my ailing heart.

You said
I'll never be alone

I know am far
from perfect

But you promised me
the stars

ever since
I've been singing
songs of a broken heart

i licked the head
of my pen
then commenced
to imagining
diving deep
into my mind
with no telling
what i would find
eyes that flittered
mind that fluttered
hand that held
a pen that stuttered
with nary a
question why
i wrote down
what came to mind
and that which did
come to mind
poured itself
out in rhyme
to think all this
started with
a simple lick
of the pen

A man
May want what he can't have

His heart may lack
What he desires the most

His smile may hide
His longing or feeling

But it is sin,
They say

So he will hide it all
For society

And pretend to be
"One of us"

Yet inside
He is different

In possibly
The most terrifying way imaginable

Let him have what he desires
For we are sinners too

If you don't think it's natural
Please open your eyes

Look outside and see the women
With their legs spread wide open

At one point that would have been "wrong"
But that changes

It all changes

So your mind should too
And accept it

ahh love,     self love.
the more  self aware
i become, the more i
bloom, the less i
destroy & the
happier i
feel.
"ahh love, self love.
the more self aware i become,
the more i bloom, the less i destroy
& the happier i feel."

if your father smokes
let him be
he's releasing from the tension and stress
but don't forget to let him realise
his ever loving son
gives a **** listen to all his rants
but he still smokes
one puff till the end
'goodbye papa' i say
for i know my lungs are filled
with smoke of decay
i smoke cigarettes too so i'm just a ****** hypocrite

Sometimes I take a deep breath
and think...
About the places I'd rather be,
the people I'd rather see,
the life I want to live.

Deep breath in.

My mind races elsewhere,
infinite experiences to be had,
only limited by my imagination.

Deep breath out.

Maybe it isn't much harder than that

I focus on my bank account
and not feeling alone.
The man in 1080p repeats,
'Where has my America gone?'
Fifty or sixty, and billionaire rich --
I guess I'm his working class *****.

Voting on how to
delude myself best;
I am part of a
dollar bill nest,
where I get to see
but don't get to touch,
where I get to give
but don't get too much.

I count things in 5’s

one cat

hula hoop

My notes are organized Cornell style
but it can’t fill the void you left.

Light switch
one slipper
two slippers
lotion
candle

I’ve got my life organized down to the the minutes
but you aren’t in any of them.

Long distance.
We’ll see.
