Do you remember what time it was when you forgot about me?
what were you doing when you made your decision?
was it as easy for you as it was for me to except it?
I didn't think much about it at the time; now I'm not to sure.
I want to speak to you but I cant seem to form the sentences in my mind;
its like the smoke from your last cigarette is clouding my mind.
I feel like my lungs are burning; why cant I speak?
do I deserve this? the voice in the back of my mind tells me do.
is it the rejection that hurts or am I realizing I made the biggest mistake of my life.
If I cant be honest with myself how on earth can I expect to be honest with you?
and all of a sudden satisfaction feels like a distant memory.
I underestimated the power a woman had over a man.
It’s the sun in the sky
The rain on your face
The love in your heart there is no mistake
It’s the wind in the air
Where the sand meets the shore
It’s the sound of your voice that I truly adore
It’s the moon at night
A feeling so free
It’s when you catch me staring at you
It’s when I catch you staring at me
My heart was found inside this sunken chest in the midst of this burnt down town

Where windows were smashed and doors kicked in. there’s no verbiage that could describe this noun

I have fled from homes where the sun would rise and make my way back from where the sun would set

Searching for a niche in this constant glitch with no codes or terms to be met

Within my dreams I can see a star as bright as a summer day. Making its way through this tarnished town with only positive things to say

“There’s hardly any life in the soil beneath the ash, trust me I’ve been looking for years.”

She grabbed my hand, helped me to my feet and told me to wipe away the tears

Where the rubble stood tall she plucked a flower and began to sing a song

Words so soft and as clear as day I knew she could have never been wrong

She said
“Grow only in a way you know.”

Now I could finally see

Where the rubble once lied she grew a forest, a sea as green as could be
I’ve always been accompanied by the presence of nothing
A dearest friend that speaks only the  language of silence  
A fire lost inside the hearts of many
A light that has always been lit but yet forgotten
Follow me into everlasting eternity where darkness meets the light
Here we can be everything but nothing
Here we shall stay
Feel free to dive into the overflowing oasis that is my heart.
Made up of a billion drops of love
each one waiting to be bathed in by you.
She’s the blackness in the sky that sits above the clouds
Somewhere between moonlight and midnight with an undefined sound
A pitch with a whistling ring, wakeful to the ears of all men
We cattle in line like constellations for the chance to speak to her again
Ten months lost in my own thoughts
three hundred and one days and my mind continues to rot  
how long will it be until I loose myself?
how long will it take me to figure out I've changed?
stay locked away and ill keep myself encaged
maybe its for the best that I condemn myself in this place, a place full of bad mistakes that cant be erased
I see you in my sleep every night
lost in my head these dreams are all I have
Erase Me
She skipped the carotid artery and went straight for the heart
****** it dry and left me empty.

watch it rise to your nose,
feelings tossed in your sea,
do you have self-control,
as you come after me?
will you tear me apart,
am i flesh you can use?
damaged goods in her eyes,
i can handle abuse.
kept your teeth on my lips,
with your black opened eyes,
i will keep mine both shut,
while i feel my blood rise.

People die
              and feelings change

       Feelings die
              and people change

                    but from the start,
                                              in between,
                                                           and in the end....
                                                                                                  life always,
                                                                                          always goes on..
and so do you.

S c a t t e r e d and homesick
for a home that doesn't exist.
It smells like lunch and trees.
Like bookshelves and coffee.
Like laughter and honey.
I long for a home
and that is it.

Barefoot and slowly
Still in my satin sleepwear
I’m caught in a trance
